What our Clients are Saying About Our Toronto Boat Cruises

Exert from letter:"......The Captain and crew were exceptional in making everyone feel welcome. The Captain was most patient in answering the constant flow of questions from the youngsters and permitting them the thrill of a turn a the helm. The crew enlisted several of the passengers to assist in hoisting the sails which gave them a great sense of involvement. Needless to say the experience was very educational as well as fun for all."

Looking for the best Toronto Island boat tours?

I’ve got you covered!

Toronto Island is my favorite place to spend the summers in Toronto. My family used to sail there on my stepdad’s boat each summer for picnics and the fair. 

I have so many great memories there, and I always tell people that visiting Toronto Island is one of the best things to do in Toronto. 

But if you are just visiting Toronto for a few days, then you probably don’t have your own boat to sail over to the islands on. That’s why a boat tour is a great idea! 

There are tons of great Toronto Island boat tours to choose from, all with something unique to offer. Here is a list of some of the best Toronto Island boat tours!

My Top 3 Picks: Toronto Island Boat Tours

The best way to visit the Toronto Islands depends on your personal preferences. You can take the ferry to Toronto Islands or a quick harbor tour that passes by the islands. If you want to treat yourself, you can sail on a luxury yacht, or if you’re looking for adventure, you can get to the islands by canoe!

How Do I Spend A Day At Toronto Island?

Centre Island Beach, Hanlan’s Point Beach, and Ward’s Island Beach. The different islands offer different types of beaches, but all look out onto beautiful Lake Ontario

What is Centreville Amusement Park?

It’s a Toronto Island theme park for children or date nights. We went every summer to play on the splash pads, visit the petting zoo, eat junk food, and ride the rides. Afterwards we’d crash on the many open green spaces while our parents read their books.

Canada Travel Planning Guide

🚑  Should I buy Canada travel insurance?

100% YES!  — Canada has “free” healthcare but it’s only for citizens! Foreigners visiting need travel insurance in case anything happens on their visit. I recommend World Nomads – starting at just $5 a day!

💧 Can you drink the water in Canada?

Yes  — In all major cities in Canada, you can drink the tap water. There are very few, rural areas that you can’t. However, you should never drink river or lake water anywhere in the country! I recommend a Brita Water Bottle for long hikes and backcountry camping to stay safe and hydrated.

🚙💨  Is it safe to rent a car in Canada?

Yes  — Renting a car is a necessity in most of Canada! If you want to go on road trips or adventures outside of the major cities, you’ll need to rent a car. ( Read more )

📲  Will my phone work in Canada?

Maybe  — Some American companies work in Canada, but many will not. If your phone doesn’t work in Canada, I recommend getting a Canadian SIM card so you can get around and stay in contact with loved ones. We don’t have a lot of free WIFI in Canada, so you’ll need your phone for maps.

🏩  What’s the best way to book my Canada accommodations?

My go-to for Canadian hotels is Booking.com . For hostels, I use Hostel World . If you want a home-y feeling, check out VRBO (which is cheaper and safer than Airbnb).

Or get free accommodations with Trusted Housesitters!

✈️  What’s the best site to buy Canada flights?

For finding cheap Canadian flights, I recommend  Skyscanner .

🎫  Do I need a visa for Canada?

Likely Not  — US, UK, and EU passport holders don’t need Canadian visas. However, some other countries do ( check here! ). And if you plan to stay for more than 4 weeks (an average tourist visa length), you will need to look into visas to live in Canada.
