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 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!

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 ❤️❤️

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.

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

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
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the city and island views, found us easy to locate, and appreciated the commentary during the cruise.

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!

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.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled you decided to join us and that you had such a great experience.
We'll be sure to pass your wonderful comments along to Emily. And please don't feel bad about not having cash for a tip; your thoughtful review and recommendation mean a great deal to both Emily and our team.
We hope to welcome you back aboard the next time you're in Toronto!

I thought it would be a relaxed but somewhat boring ride back and forth along the coastline. I was surprised we took a route between several coastal islands with narration about their history and current status. Saw a lot of visiting pleasure boats and even some wildlife.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience.
It's great that you were able to enjoy the mix of history, local insights, pleasure craft, and even some wildlife sightings along the way. There's always something new to see on the harbour!
Thank you for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another cruise in the future.
