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!!

It was so nice. The tour guide, Shawn, was excellent. He was so funny and had so much interesting information to share. Great experience!
Tour took us into the Islands for an up close view that larger boats wouldn't have reached. Tour guide was very good.
The lake has intimate little estuaries that allows visitors to see multiple bird life and to understand the eco system that we explained so well.

Thank you so much for the lovely review!
I had a really enjoyable time on this tour - the guides were funny, knowledgeable, kind, and engaging. Despite being very familiar with Toronto myself, I learned a lot about Toronto's history, geography, and environment from the tour. They did a great job taking breaks in their narration to allow everyone to take pictures of Toronto's beautiful skyline and the Toronto Islands from the water. The tour was very safe, and all of the fellow passengers were kind and considerate. I highly recommend this as an affordable attraction for anyone visiting Toronto (as well as locals wanting to learn more about their city!).

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and still learned something new about Toronto. It’s great to hear our guides made the experience fun and engaging while leaving plenty of time to enjoy the views and take photos.
Very relaxing with the guide doing a great job of providing historical details, context, and descriptions of the harbor and city.
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for the review! We’re glad you found the boat safe and comfortable, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to the captain and tour guide.
It was somewhat interesting visiting these manmade islands. There are so many boats and houseboats who pile their belongings on the island, it rather resembles a homeless encampment.
It was such a fun and relaxing harbor trip—completely stress-free, informative, and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Francisco, was both knowledgeable and humorous, which made the experience even more entertaining. I was a little concerned that I might get seasick, but the ride was surprisingly smooth and pleasant. The gentle breeze and beautiful views made it a wonderful way to spend the day!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the smooth ride, beautiful views, and Francisco’s humour and knowledge. We hope to see you aboard again soon!
Great views & loved the narration! Easy to book online and to locate where the boat was. We really enjoyed the information and knowledge of our host.

This cruise offered beautiful views of the Toronto shoreline that there was no other way of me to have seen. Oliver offered witty and informative commentary of Toronto and its islands.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
The view of Toronto's skyline from the water is truly unparalleled. We're glad to hear you were able to take it from the water. Thank you for joining us and taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate it greatly.
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.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the accessibility requirements prevented you from joining us. We do want to clarify, however, that our tour is not advertised as fully wheelchair accessible. Our product description specifically states that collapsible wheelchairs with removable wheels can be accommodated, provided the passenger is accompanied by someone who can assist with boarding and disembarking.
We understand that this may not meet every guest’s needs, and we regret that we were unable to answer your call to provide clarification. We’ll continue to make our accessibility information as clear as possible so guests can make informed decisions before booking.
This is an awesome boat ride and Shawn is an incredible narrator with all the details and the Captain was cool too. Awesome experience

The tour provided some interesting information about Toronto and the islands. The views were beautiful.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you very much!
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!
