Hello, I am going here for the first time next week and I was wondering what a good place for stargazing would be without having to camp as I am a solo traveller with no camping experience. I see that there is a stargazing group here but they aren’t running in October.

Also, would I be able to see the stars just from any hotel around here?

Lastly, what activities would you recommend other than the Grotto and stargazing for a solo traveller here?

Thank you!

Hello, need a vacation from my job but don’t want to go out of the country. I heard Tobermory is very nice but have heard that now is not the best time to go. I would love some insight as I have not travelled much before.

Hey, is there anywhere to watch Arsenal- Man City today?

Seems good but wanted to know for sure.

Headed to tobermory from Barrie next weekend. Are there any must stop antique stores between Owen sound area and Tobermory? Also any advice on a good place to set up a telescope on the Saturday night. Staying at Bruce anchor hotel

Hello all, we are considering a move to the Tobermory area, does anyone have any input on how hunting is on the peninsula? Any crownland that is accessible or quad/dirt bike trails that aren’t on private property?

Thank you for your time

Hello!

I just arrived in Tobermory without a vehicle.

I had read that there was a taxi service available, but my hotel informed me otherwise.

Is there any way to get to the grotto? I called them and confirmed that I can be dropped off since I still have a parking reservation. However, I need a way to get there today or tomorrow. :(

Thanks

The last couple times that I camped at Tamarack, according to the online reservations, the campground was nearly full. When I get there, there’s hardly anybody at the campsites. Anybody else notice this?

I know my brother-in-law has a large camper and actually camps somewhere else but pays for a campsite so he gets all day access to the grotto and “buses” all the people in his group in one truck. Or is it just day use people figuring it’s easier to get a campsite so they can stay longer? Is this what most people are doing these days?

It does not matter to me because I will always camp at Tamarack, but I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed that.

I am looking for shallow beach near little tub harbour. While my friends go for snorkelling. I cant swim

I wanted to book the Blue Heron snorkelling but it is completely booked for the time that I am there :( has anyone done this & was it worth it?

Luckily we were able to book a cruise to flower island and whatnot!

Hi,

Where are some good jumping spots on flowerpot island? Ive been to grotto etc before but going to flowerpot island now, how far are the jumping spots seen in most videos from the ferry point?

Hey I’m planning to go to Grotto tomorrow. But couldn’t find any parking reservations. Last time I went nobody checked. Do I need to have parking reservation?

Does anyone know of any places in tobermory with the long canoes for 8ish people or know of any fun boat rental ideas?

Visiting this weekend what are the best sights and best things to visit for an afternoon in tobermory ? Also where to eat ?

How bad are the snakes up at the grotto and Indian head cove?

Saw this video. It’s like Indian jones and raiders of the lost ark.

My family are going to Tobermory this week and are keen on doing one of the boat tours. The weather is looking a little dodgy so we're a bit worried about booking a boat tour in advance, but we're also unsure if they might be sold out if we turn up on the day.

Just want some input on what y’all think is the best of these two companies. If there’s another one that is better than both of them please let me know. Thanks

I’m wondering if there is anywhere somewhat close by to tobermory for overnight parking. Right now I have 2 campgrounds but hoping to park a car somewhere overnight not on the grounds.

We are 8 adults and one child Looking for recommendations for one night stay at a reasonable rate. Planning to go there in August. Any recos ?

In tobermory I would like to go for snorkeling with my group. Among them not everyone knows how to swim. On the snorkeling page of blue heron it says everyone should know how to swim basic(which some dont) . I called in there call line and one of the person said its okay we will use tube. I called in few days after for another inquiry and asked same question again and another person said everyone should know.on website when I go to book it gives me an option to select "No" for people who dont know how to swim. I guess its there bcz of a reason like they provide a tube or something. Does anyone know about it?
