We should arrive in Tobermory by 11 AM.
Lunch will be served immediately when we arrive to Tobermory. We will be eating at a restaurant in Tobermory. At 1:50 PM we will be taking a boat tour through Blue Heron Company. This tour, which takes place on a glass bottom boat, will show us around the Fathom Five Marine Park, which encompasses the waters around Tobermory. This tour will feature several ship wrecks in Tobermory's harbor, ending at Flowerpot Island, the crowning jewel of Fathom Five. Five miles off the coast of Tobermory, Flowerpot Island is a stunning location that features massive sea stacks on the shore of Lake Huron. We will be spending 5 hours hiking around the Island, visiting the Flowerpots, sea caves, and Island's lighthouse. At 5:45 PM we will depart Flowerpot Island on a jetboat, heading back to Tobermory.
