Even though the dragon boat races on Toronto Island closed part of the normal tour, we saw great parts of the island. I really liked the commentary about the downtown skyline and the changing face of the harbor front buildings. Great tour and a great opportunity to see and spend time on Toronto Island.
Recommended for a casual lazy day..the boat ride to the Island is peaceful with wonderful views of Toronto and the Island full of various venues and activcities
excellent tour - had the option of extending the tour by disembarking at the island wharf - comfortable vessell and informative commentary - well worth the money
very welcoming and friendly at the info desk as well as on board. I really enjoyed the comments and the interaction with the audience. this is the tour I would recommend if you have an hour to kill and would like to discover Toronto from a different perspective, still have in mind that this tour didn't stop on one of the islands.
Seeing Toronto and the Islands at night adds a whole new twist to a beautiful city. Only minro downside was the boat is inclosed and one couple decided to stand infront of the only non window (windows are slightly curved so not perfect for taking photos) impaired space and take photos all trip. Not allowing anyone else a chance and the crew said nothing.
I love the Toronto Islands. I grew up exploring them and still enjoy wondering amongst the parks as well as the old houses in Wards Island. These cottages were build starting in 1867 and when the city tried to take them back in the 1960s some of the community fought to stay. Today the tiny cottages are restored and painted colourfully and the vibrant residents live there year round. There is a small school for the kids - what an idyllic life they must have! There are no cars on the islands and it's the largest car free zone in North America. You can get to the islands via a ferry, then travel around on foot, bike or rollerblade. There's still an amusement park for the kids and some hints of the grand events that once took place. Babe Ruth even hit his first professional home run here in 1914 when a baseball stadium was located at the site of the current Toronto Island Airport. Be sure to visit the beaches, the pier and the communities on Wards and Algonquin Islands. Take a picnic and some friends and I guarantee you'll enjoy yourself.
We would recommend the trip to anyone. We enjoyed it very much. Ship was great and crew were very informative. We got off on the Island and took a tour of that also. Betty B - South Carolina
Informative and entertaining cruise showing the best of Toronto's skyline, landmarks and islands. The option to stop off at the islands and pick up a later boat is particularly good. Well worth the money, highly recommended.
This was cancelled, took the morning harbour cruise instead. Well spent hour on the Inner Harbour with spectacular views of the Toronto skyline. If you've time at your disposal, hop off on one of the islands and have a wander.
Great trip to see Toronto from a different view and to see the islands as well. We found the guides to be very helpful and knowledgeable and the trip was well worth doing.
Nothing like a harbour cruise to get another view of a city. Island was closed as it was off season. Good informed commentary.
A good trip with a great team of captain and guide. The tour lasts about an hour and takes you across the harbour to the islands and then back along the waterfront. There are great photo opportunities but choose a good day for the trip or risk missing the views.
