This was a lovely day. We booked the cruise online through Blue Mountain Cruise line months ago and I'm glad we decided to do this. Everything was great. On the way there we viewed a shipwreck and the flower pots. We loved the glass bottom boat and the boat ride was not far from Tobermory. We took the option to stay on Flower Pot Island for three hours. We took our own picnic and water. The trails along the shore were easy and well maintained. We did the Mountain trail as well which was great but a bit more challenging for people with mobility issues. We lost the trail a couple of times but my phone assured me we were on the right path. The ride back to Tobermory was only 15 minutes. It was a very enjoyable day. I would recommend it.

We booked tickets on the Bruce Anchor cruises. They take you to view a couple of old shipwrecks and then bring you over to Flowerpot island. I think getting there took about an hour. The trip back is more direct and was only about 20 mins. The tour guide gave us lots of good information about Tobermory, the ship wrecks and the islands in the area. It was pretty interesting. Flowerpot island itself was really nice. The rock formations were pretty unique and the hiking was quite enjoyable. You can actually camp on the island. I think they have 6 campsites, but fires aren't allowed and the tents are set up on wooden platforms. The night after we visited the island, there was a HUGE storm. We felt really bad for the families camping there, so I would advise you check the forecast if you're planning to camp there. The hike itself was very enjoyable. Not too strenuous and if you are fairly quick you can probably do all the trails on the island.

We used blue heron boat and the tour to get to the island was great. The island was fun. Wayyy too chilly for being in water....water is always cold anyway! But beautiful. For us, we were done in 2 hours and had to wait for the boat To come back.
