Adventure Description

The absolute best way to experience Toronto in summer is on the water and there's no better place to do it than on the Islands. Toronto Island is a whole bunch of individual islands, separated by beautiful channels that carve their way in between them and make you feel like you're far away from the city. They're sheltered, making them extremely calm and the water is shallow enough that this is a safe adventure even for people with no prior experience. You'll cut through some of the quietest parts of the Islands and get incredible views of the city as we go.

We've reserved canoes and we'll explore the area together over a 2 hour paddle. Once we're done, we'll find a spot for a picnic. We'll hang out together over food before returning to the city before sunset. Summer days were made for this!

The adventure fee includes canoe rental along with all safety equipment but not the ferry ticket. BYO food and drink for the picnic.
