5.00Fantastic 1 hour trip around the harbour. Great photo ops and the narrator was very knowledgeable and even made a funny or two.
Take taxi or Ferry to Toronto Islands instead.

3.00Crowded and view was [partially blocked by doors open. I suggest to take a water taxi or ferry to Toronto Islands instead.

4.00Make sure you get there before the time on your ticket. We got there at two and the boat was already leaving.. We had to wait another half an hour for the next cruise. To the tour company I suggest that you have somewhere on the ticket an earlier boarding time.

5.00Nice trip. Informative and lovely. Views were pretty and narrative was informative. Nice way to pass the afternoon.
Good way to see Toronto skyline from afar without going to Toronto Islands

5.00We didn’t have time to get a ferry to Toronto Islands but this boat tour gave us the incredible views of Toronto that we were after. Arrived half an hour early to ensure we could choose where we sat (top deck on the left for the best photos). Commentary was great and we saw a lot. Would recommend.
Put it on your to do list when in Toronto

5.00It was a gorgeous day in Toronto. This is a comfortable, easy boat ride for about 45-50min. There is a narration too, though it was a bit difficult to hear. The guide was speaking fine, it's just that the sound system didn't carry so well all the way to the back of the boat which is where we sat. Combined with the wind, it was tough to hear. Despite that, there's a drink/snack bar and this was a great way to spend an hour on the lake during a summer afternoon.
Lame cruise

3.00I found the tour lame. The boat didn’t go more than 600 meters from the dock The boat went up the coast about 600 meters turned and went down the other way past the dock for about 600 meters and turned back toward the dock. During this the time the tour guide talked about the buildings, some history. No wildlife was seen and the tour guide didn’t address much of the wildlife that lives in the lake.
This was a quick 60...

3.00This was a quick 60 minute ride around the harbor. The boat was hot and unhygienic. The guide was excellent, though.
