Chi Cheemaun Ferry - Tobermory Terminal

Spent 2 days in Tobermory then onto the Chi Cheemaun ferry to Manitoulin island. Lovely trip! Nice little place with many motels and lots of things to do. The ferry experience was awesome and I loved it.

From Tobermory to Manitoulin Island, this Ferry is a wonderful experience. Can’t forget the sight of so many headlights flashing and all those motorcycles all geared up to come out when the ferry opened its doors for outgoing vehicles. You definitely get a break from driving and get some peaceful time with family without the stress of being on busy roads over the weekends. Lovely views, scenery, torquise coloured water, light houses on the way which look even more beautiful during the sunset. The cafe has amazing food and service. Washrooms were super clean. Altogether, amazing ride. Add to your to-do list for next summer.

Nice boat ! If you're taking this ferry on foot it cost almost nothing ! We paid 18$ each (2023)

I’m writing this from the boat. There was a misunderstanding regarding the need for a reservation on my trip today. Fortunately for the help of Jude, Jeremy and Rob and the team at South Bay Mouth and on the deck of the ship, we were able to park my ATV sideways at the back of the boat. The sign of a good organization is how they’re able to resolve problems. These employees were exceptional. Thank you thank you thank you.I have three pieces of advice. Take the ferry, It’s a beautiful trip. Make a reservation and arrive an hour before your departure.

Very organized, good service. The restaurant has many options in menu.

The staff was polite and the ship was not as crowded as I'd thought being this was my first time aboard. The trip was rather short approximately arriving over an 1h & 30mins. I had total fun and enjoyed every moment of it. Many of sights to be seen and captured including other ships passing, islands and beautiful sky condition (depending on your day of travel). There's also plenty of seats indoors and outdoors to sit and relax. Definitely would recommend planning this trip if you're wanting to save time and money heading up north.

This ferry service between South Baymouth and Tobermory is highly recommended. However, it's important to make a reservation well in advance, even if you plan to board on foot, by bicycle, or with a car, especially during busy times. The trip lasts around two hours and offers lovely sightseeing opportunities. It's an awesome experience, especially if you haven't been on a larger ferry for vehicles and passengers before. You'll enjoy breathtaking views of the islands in Georgian Bay.The ferry operates on schedule, and the ship is well-maintained and kept clean. The floors and bathrooms are tidy and hygienic. Onboard, there's a cafeteria and a bar serving mainly local Canadian beers, priced at $6 each. Payment can be made in cash or by card. While the beverage options are limited, the service is fast and reliable. The ferry can accommodate vehicles of all sizes and shapes, including RVs and tractor trailers.There's an upper deck with plenty of benches and chairs, allowing you to relax and soak in the beautiful views as you pass by numerous small islands. The cruise is known for its punctuality, so it's recommended to arrive at least half an hour before your scheduled boarding time to ensure a smooth experience.

This is a must-do in Tobermory! Affordable and family friendly, for all ages and abilities. Amazing view during our return at night. Sail during fair weather for the best experience. We enjoyed watching the docking and unloading of vehicles - an engineering marvel. There is a cafeteria on-board with lots of food options at a reasonable price. The gift shop has typical souvenirs at varied prices. Washrooms were spacious and clean. Staff members were great, very polite and friendly. I had no concerns over safety. We walked on and did not have a vehicle.

What a cool way to go from Tobermory to Manitoulin Island! I did book ahead so that I could get the time slot and day I was planning around. It was pretty easy. Once I got on site, everybody seems to park in lines. Once it opens, then you can drive into the loading area. Very easy to load up to the ferry. There are multiple floors, some allow pets some do not… I didn’t know that at first. There is a floor where you can get food and drinks as well. It was such a fun little trip across the pond, really enjoyed the views! Couldn’t believe how far away we got from land before seeing Manitoulin. Highly recommend the trip at least one!
