After exploring the Toronto harbour and waterfront our tour will take you by boat to the Toronto Islands. Cycling along the paths of the car-free islands is a treat and you will quickly feel yourself relax and take in the natural surroundings. Breakfast outside at the Runaway Cafe is a highlight you don’t want to miss, enjoy a delicious sandwich, fresh coffee or tea and one of their decadent pastries. After breakfast we will explore the quaint neighbourhood of the Ward’s Island Community before returning to the city by ferry.
We are located inside the Distillery District on the cobblestone lane closest to Parliament Street and the Red Heart installation. Come to our store front location at 11 Gristmill Lane, if you arrive early we are next door to Arvo Coffee Shop which we highly recommend.
