| - There are a number of ferries that serve the Toronto Islands, 3 of them municipal, serving Centre Island, Ward's Island and Hanlan's Point. The day we visited, we took the ferry to Centre island because it was the one leaving soonest.
The ferry is OK, but pretty much just standard transportation. Pedestrians and bicycles (and wheelchairs one assumes) are the only means of transportation on the island (with some exceptions not open to the public.) Boarding is first come/first served, so the lines can be pretty long, especially on the return trip.
It's a pretty nice, leisurely trip to the island, the boat isn't in any particular hurry. You get some good views of downtown from the boat, likely to be better from the upper deck.
So don't expect a thrill ride to or from the islands, just expect some efficient transportation.
