No paddling experience required, but come prepared to paddle!
Embark on a truly Canadian experience by exploring the beautiful 13 Toronto Islands archipelago in historic voyageur canoe replicas. Originally designed to transport people and goods across Canada, this is the easiest and most affordable way to explore the lagoons, bird sanctuaries and the wonderful panorama of Toronto’s skyline.
We have several options. 1) Tour can start & finish at our city side location. 2) A one way tour starting city side & ending on the islands or vice versa starting on islands and finishing city side. 3) Start & finish on the islands. A return program is approximately 2 ½ hours, a one way tour is approximately 2 hours. All options can be customised re duration and other variables.
We have 7 large canoes with different passenger capacities. Each canoe also has a stern seat for a guide. We can welcome 84 participants (in a paddling seat position) at the same time and more if we use non paddling / middle of the wider bench seats.
Minimum age: Review with groups coordinator.
