What You Can Do in Tobermory

Tobermory may be small, but it packs in more beauty and adventure than most places twice its size. Here are some guest-favorite stops:

  • Bruce Peninsula National Park  Home to dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear water, and some of the best hiking in Ontario. Info:

  • The Grotto  The famous turquoise cave that looks like it belongs in the Caribbean. It’s a must-see for any family visiting the area. Info:  

  • Flowerpot Island (via boat tour)  Take a glass-bottom boat or ferry to see shipwrecks and the iconic “flowerpot” rock formations. Kids love the boat ride, and adults love the views. Boat tours: https://www.blueheroncruises.com/
