Escape the city for the afternoon! ⛴️🌊

Take the ferry or one of the many water taxis to the Toronto Islands and spend a few hours exploring. Wander the trails, check out the beaches, grab a bite, rent a bike or just find a spot by the water and take in the skyline from across the harbour.

Just a short ride from downtown, but a whole different side of Toronto. ✨
