About this experience

We offer private boat tours of the Fathom Five National Marine Park.
Park in town and enjoy the boat ride on Tre Anni, that takes you along the shoreline of the Bruce Peninsula National Park and within the Fathom Five National Marine Park. On route to the Grotto, there are endless cliffs, many with overhangs over top of crevices and caverns. See the mass of people visiting the Grotto, who made the hike from the parking lot at Cypress Lake. Then we can pass by to see the caves at Cave Point. This amazing journey is dependent on wind and wave conditions.

The Bruce Peninsula National Park is a geological trove of amazement. Aside from the overhangs, cliffs, caves and caverns, there are two legendary formations called the Flowerpots. There is mysticism in the creation of these two monolithic maidens, or is it the maiden and man? Wait for the Lore and the Legend to be told when you see them in person, face to face.

Detailed itinerary

We will cruise down the shoreline of the Bruce Peninsula towards the Bruce Peninsula National Park where we will see overhanging cliffs, caverns and caves at the Grotto.

From the Grotto we will cross the open lake of Georgian Bay towards Flowerpot Island in the Fathom Five national Marine Park.

Then we will ply through the Otter Island channel towards Russel Island where we will tell you the tale of the sinking of a few shipwrecks. Depending on wind conditions we will look through the crystal clear turquoise waters of Tobermory to glance into the Maritime museum below.
