Recommend Group Size: 8 – 84
Group normally meets at the Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre where, after a brief orientation, you will paddle to the Toronto Islands in voyageur canoes. The group will explore the 13 islands via the many channels and lagoons that connect them.
Throughout this tour, participants will learn about the flora, fauna and incredible history of the islands before taking a well deserved break. After a snack or pre-planned catering the group can then decide to either explore the islands by land using the Island Bike Rentals or by foot. Alternatively, the group can continue to tour the islands by water in the voyageur canoes.
At the end of the adventure your group can return to the mainland in the voyageur canoes or by using the island ferry system which is free to return on back to the city.
Team sizes can range from 8 to 15.
This is often a full-day event…meaning 5 ½ – 6 hours…but the duration can be adjusted.
