Trip Highlights
Tobermory, Fathom Five National Marine Park
|
The clear blue waters around Tobermory hold deep secrets of the ships that sailed through unforgiving darkness and too close to shore and were claimed by the lake. Today 22 of these barges, steamers and schooners lie shipwrecked off the coast of Tobermory in this underwater graveyard known as the Fathom Five National Marine Park.
We will be taking a narrated boat trip on a boat with a flat glass bottom so you can see what lies underneath as we are transported from Tobermory to Flower Pot Island and then back from the island to Tobermory. |

Accessible only by boat, just 6.5 kilometers off the coast of Tobermory lies Flowerpot Island, one of Canada’s most fascinating natural attractions. A trip to Flowerpot Island is one of the best experiences in Fathom Five National Marine Park! The island is famous for its natural "flowerpot" rock pillars, caves, historic light station and rare plants.
