Tobermory
Before hopping into your car and heading for some of the most spectacular natural scenery in Ontario, please take time to
plan ahead, book ahead. With the Bruce Peninsula National Park – and the stunning
Grotto as its crown jewel – we totally get that a visit here is on everyone’s bucket list. The reality is that
reservations are required to park and visit the Grotto during the high season (April 30 to October 31, 2022), and these four-hour slots book up fast!
Reserve online or by phone, starting February 24, 2022. Another popular park destination is Halfway Log Dump, so be sure to
reserve your six-hour parking time slot (required from June 17 to September 5, 2022) well ahead of time here, too. If you’d rather call, phone 1-877-737-3783.
Planning to camp at
Cyprus Lake? Reservations are open as of February 8, 2022 for this popular campground, so it’s recommended to
book early. For a more rustic experience, limited camping is available on Flowerpot Island.
Reservations are required and can be booked as of February 8, 2022.
The village of
Tobermory itself is located at the very northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula and is the summer home of the
MS Chi-Cheemaun. Ship amenities include a cafeteria, live entertainment, themed cruises and walk on excursion options (check ahead in 2022 to see if these amenities are available). It’s a bustling port – on the water and dockside - from late spring to mid fall so booking accommodations, boat tours, park visits and meal reservations before you arrive is something to seriously consider.
This tiny community is blessed with not one, but two harbours. Little Tub anchors the downtown core with shops, restaurants and boat tour operators, while the Tobermory Lighthouse guards the entrance to Big Tub Harbour. Planning a
boat tour out to Flowerpot? With an increase in travel-hungry visitors this summer, it’s wise to book ahead. With more than 20 shipwrecks to explore, Tobermory is a diver’s paradise, and
Divers Den has been training and serving scuba divers here since 1967.
