  • I visited Toronto this past weekend with my sister and we decided to check out the Toronto Islands. We had heard there was some flooding on the islands but figured it was worth a trip to get a great view of the city skyline. The weather on Saturday was cloudy, then rainy, then hot and sunny, then rainy, then cloudy again but we decided to brave the trip anyway. We parked near the ferry terminal for $7 CAD at a condo building's parking ramp off of Queens Quay and jumped in line at the ferry terminal. The line moved very quickly and when we got up to pay it was only $7 CAD per person round trip. Not too bad at all! There was a ferry waiting as we arrived to so we hopped on board. Within seconds it started pouring. We sat on the top deck which is covered and has an unobstructed view of the city. There are plenty of life preservers all over the ferry so we felt pretty safe in the event of an accident. The trip to Centre Island took about 10 minutes and when we arrived the rain stopped, the sun came out, and we were back on terra firma. The trip back was a little more stressful. There are other private companies offering trips to the islands on pontoon boats but they don't return their passengers to the ferry terminal. Instead everyone rides the big Toronto Ferry Company ferries back to the ferry terminal. We wanted to leave the island around 5pm and the line to get on the ferry filled up the corral and was snaking along the path towards the amusement park. There were tons of bikes and strollers in line too, some of which couldn't fit through the corral. A bit of a disaster if you ask me. We skipped ahead of these people by moving efficiently through the corral and found ourselves on the ferry close to the front doors for drop off. Before we knew it we were on our back to the city and 10 minutes later we were walking back to our car. This ferry is a great deal if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The ferries run every 15 minutes or so and offer great views of the city and get you back and forth with relative ease. It also offers trips to other parts of the island too. If I'm back in Toronto and want to check out the islands again I'll definitely be using the ferry. Would definitely recommend.
