Overall, I really enjoyed the 60-minute Toronto Harbour cruise. The biggest highlight was definitely the incredible views of the Toronto skyline, and I also loved that the route took us around the Toronto Islands, giving us perspectives of the city that we wouldn't have gotten from land. The boat had plenty of seating, although if you stayed in one seat the entire time, you might miss some of the best views. Fortunately, passengers were free to walk around and explore different areas of the boat, which made it easy to take photos and enjoy the scenery from multiple angles. I would have liked a bit more historical information and narration from the tour guide, but if you're looking for a more relaxed cruise where someone isn't talking the entire time, this is actually a nice option. Food and beverages were available for purchase onboard, and while there were a few gnats out on the water, that wasn't really the cruise's fault. Overall, it was a fun experience, we got some great photos, and I'd definitely recommend it as an enjoyable way to spend an hour on the water and see Toronto from a different perspective.
Excellent boat trip

This tour is a nice, leisurely ride around Toronto harbor area and the islands offshore. Our guide, Diego, did a great job of explaining what we were seeing. I enjoyed hearing about the history of the area, as well as a few things that are coming up in the near future. It was a beautiful day for a 1 hour cruise. The only reason I took off one star was because of the seating/standing situation. Chairs (similar to small, wooden dining chairs) are set up in rows throughout the boat. Everyone was seated when the boat started out, but soon everyone was standing along the rail and blocking my view. So, I had to stand also. I would have enjoyed staying seated and watching the view go by, but that was not possible.
Great experience!

Loading was smooth and the guide was excellent. Had to ask directions at the tour booth near pier 6 building to find the boat on the pier but then had no trouble.
Just ok
