Toronto Waterfront & Islands Tour
Most Popular
Your adventure begins along the scenic Waterfront Trail, where the city opens up and the views start rolling in. A short boat rides whisks you across the harbour to the Toronto Islands - and the moment you arrive, the pace of the city melts away. Fresh lake breezes, winding garden paths bursting with native plants, and charming cottage-style homes make the islands feel like a world apart.
We'll pause at our favourite spot where the tree line opens up to reveal one of the most breathtaking views of the Toronto skyline you'll find anywhere. Cruising along the boardwalk, the lake stretches endlessly beside you, with glimpses of the vast bird sanctuary on the Leslie Street Spit. This is North America's largest car-free community - a rare, peaceful corner of the city complete with a quaint lighthouse and long stretches of beach.
The return ferry ride back to the city is the perfect transition, easing you from island calm back into the city's energy. But the tour isn't over yet! We will take you around the historic Distillery District - one of Trip Advisor's Top 10 things to do in Toronto - an internationally recognized heritage village of cobblestone streets and beautifully restored Victorian industrial buildings, now alive with art, culture, and character.
From lakeside serenity to living history, this tour captures Toronto's unexpected small-town soul.
