We book this tour last minute yesterday afternoon. We could see it had good ratings, so we went for it. So glad we did. The tour was really good. Emily was our guide. She was brilliant, really interesting, bubbly and friendly. Would totally recommend the tour. Great views, good commentary and a reasonable price. We felt bad, we had no cash to give Emily a tip.

It was a great one hour tour of the Toronto Harbor and Islands. We had a wonderful guide Sean who had a great sense of humor. He included history of Toronto as well as about the wildlife on the island. Definitely worth it!

The experience was great from start to finish. I reached out and used the chat option to get details about the Toronto Harbour tour. I was sent a link to book on line which made it super easy to book the trip. Our boat left on time and our Tour guide was excellent. The tour is well scripted, informative and fun at the same time. The views from the water are beautiful. My wife and two adult daughters loved the experience and would highly recommend it to all visitors to Toronto. Well worth the time and money!!

Beware accessibility!

cathleen_g, Aug 2026
Though it says wheelchair accessible. , it is not . We got a notice that you have to have someone get you on and off. Also uour wheelchair must fold up and the wheels need to be removable ! I have never heard of that ever. I called to clarify and no one answered or returned my call. We decided we could not take the risk of paying for wheelchair transport to the pier only to be turned away. This was a terrible experience and if it advertised as acessible it should be and not have hidden and last minute obstacles.

Awesome

Ankit_S, Aug 2026

Thank you very much!

Good value, fun & interesting!

Jen_B, Aug 2026
It’s easy to get to the launching area from the Lake Shore Rd.. The boat is comfy & vintage. The guide is amusing & knows about the area. This makes it really interesting and well worth doing. We didn’t have much time in Toronto as we were there to see one of the RUSH 50 Hometown concerts, at Scotiabank Arena, so this was a good value trip to help us see as much of beautiful Toronto as possible.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad the cruise was a great way to experience Toronto during your short visit, and that you enjoyed the guide’s humour and local knowledge. We hope you had an amazing time at the Rush concert as well!

Just went on a tour today with captain Harry and Asha. It was absolutely fantastic. Asha was amazing at telling about the island and even though it poured down, it didn't dampen the experience. She has a fantastic personality and she was just great. Much appreciated😘😘 Love from the danes ❤️❤️

Experience of Toronto Islands

Heather_S, Jul 2026
The experience we had of the Toronto Harbour was fantastic. Myself, my Son and Sister had an excellent time. The Captain was Abir and the Tour Guide was Emily, these two young ladies were fantastic. My son is Autistic and we were very lucky to not have many in the Cruise with us, they were fantastic with Daniel. Paula myself and Daniel would like you to Thank these ladies very much for such an enjoyable last evening we spent in Toronto.

Wonderful guide and beautiful views with an unbeatable price

Dana_G, Jul 2026
Tour guide Emily was, as my son put it, a silly goose. She was very knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. She gave us plenty of information while also giving us quiet opportunities to enjoy the incredible views of Toronto and the islands. Captain Asha kept us sailing smoothly and perfectly on time. Highly recommended, and a great value.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We're so happy you were able to join us and enjoyed your experience out on the harbour. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Good views of city

Robert_C, Jul 2026
Good views of the city and the islands with commentary. Easy to locate. Boat was a bit tired with tarpaulin wrap around railings which impaired views somewhat, hence only 4 stars. There are prettier boats available.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Must see Toronto

Julie_F, Jul 2026
As a first time visitor to Toronto, this was a wonderful experience. The history of the harbour islands was intriguing, the islands scenery was beautiful and it was amazing and refreshing to be on Lake Ontario. The views of the Toronto city skyline was incredible. I was very impressed with the "working waterfront" shores and how many parks were tucked away throughout. The blue skies helped to showcase the beautiful Toronto downtown scene. I recommend everyone to take this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad your first visit to Toronto included a trip with us and that you enjoyed learning about the islands, taking in the skyline, and experiencing the beauty of Lake Ontario. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again someday!
