Kayak to the shipwrecks of Big Tub Harbour
Come join us for an experience to remember at the Tobermory Cruise Centre on Lee's Wharf. Best of all, you get on the water directly from our docks, in one of our colourful kayaks or on a stand-up paddleboard.
We are perched at the entrance to Little Tub Harbour, right next to the Tugs shipwrecks. Only a short, picturesque paddle away, you will experience firsthand the Sweepstakes and City of Grand Rapids shipwrecks in Big Tub Harbour.
Make On The Water Kayaks a must-do when in Tobermory. It will be one of the highlights of your visit, and one you'll want to visit over and over again.
