No experience required.
Enjoy a guided tour across the Toronto Harbour to explore the bird sanctuaries & lagoons of this special archipelago in a 2-person kayak! (We can welcome odd number/one person kayak.) Normally starts & finishes city side BUT one way tours either direction ($) or a start & finish on the islands can be arranged ($).
After a short ‘how to paddle’ orientation, your certified guide will plan a route depending on the groups’ ability and conditions on the day. The journey to the island is approx 25 mins each way thus there is plenty of time to explore! A washroom break can be facilitated if required.
Do you need help with food options / meeting place / a picnic location? How about logistics support chartering our pontoon motorboats?

Guided Voyageur Canoe Tour
Contact richard@paddletoronto.com
No experience required but be prepared to paddle.
Embark on a Canadiana experience by exploring the beautiful 13 islands archipelago in replicas of historic voyageur canoes. Originally designed to transport people and goods, this is the easiest and most affordable way to explore the lagoons & bird sanctuaries while enjoying the wonderful panorama of the Toronto skyline.
We have 7 large ‘Voyageur’ canoes with different passenger capacities. Each canoe also has a guide seat. We can welcome up to 90 participants in a paddling seat position at the same time…more if we have people sit in the middle of the wider bench seats.
Most groups start/finish city side on a 2 ½ hour program but we can customise duration & start/end location. A one way tour (either direction) can be arranged and is approximately 2 hours. Again, we can adjust duration.
