Paddling a canoe is a truly Canadian Experience and the best way to explore the Toronto Islands. Our Voyageur Canoe is a replica of a historical canoes that were used some 300 hundred years ago by the first European settlers. The Toronto Islands archipelago has a network of lagoons and waterways that are ideal for canoeing and watching the wild life.
Centre Island Ferry Dock, Middle Island - Olympic Island, Toronto, ON M5V, Canada
Take the ferry to the Centre Island from the Toronto Ferry Terminal located at 9 Queen's Quay West. Disembark at the Centre Island and meet by the Clock Tower located next to the ferry exit (island side).
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
We will board our Voyageur Canoe at the Centre Island and will learn how to paddle in a team, just as the Voyageurs were doing long ago. All of us will be wearing life jackets and I will be with you in the canoe helping you with the correct canoe strokes and talking about the islands and the Fur Trade History. We will take brakes to look at some flora and fauna and take numerous pictures. A must do visit will be to the Toronto Harbour for the most Instagramable photo opportunity with the magnificent city skyline. In this 1hr program we will see the most of the park. The Toronto Islands Archipelago stretches for some 5 km and consisted of some 15 islands. We will paddle through the sheltered and picturesque channels to have a special magical perspective on the islands. The islands' park is located in a close proximity to the Toronto downtown and is accessible by a short - 10min - ferry ride. It is rightfully considered the most beautiful park and while there are usually many visitors in the park, the waterways are calm and secluded.
