Private Group Excursions

No paddling experience required. Come individually if you like, friends await!
Enjoy a guided tour on the Toronto Harbour and Islands in a tandem (2-person) kayak!
Upon arrival, guests will be outfitted with a lifejacket, kayak skirt and paddle. They will then go through a short safety orientation to paddling a tandem kayak prior to departing from our docks.
Depending on your groups’ paddling ability and comfort on the water, your experienced guide will lead you on a tour of the Toronto Harbour and Toronto Islands via various channels and lagoons, some of which can only be accessed by canoe or kayak.
