No paddling experience required, but come prepared to paddle!
Come and explore the 13 Toronto Island archipelago in historic voyageur canoe replicas. Originally designed to carry people and goods across Canada, this is the easiest and most affordable way to provide your students with a unique and safe paddling experience. Each canoe will have a guide to steer the canoe and teach some paddling techniques.
Our guided Voyageur Canoe Tour is ideal for groups crossing the Toronto Harbour to explore the Island channels, lagoons and bird sanctuaries. On the return paddle, enjoy the wonderful panorama of Toronto’s skyline.
A round-trip to the Islands and back takes approximately 3 hours (but can be shortened), with an opportunity for a washroom break. Extra fees apply for one-way excursions, or to start/end on the Islands.
What’s Included
- One supervisor free for every 10 paying participants
