TSA Boat Tour: Harbour and Skyline

All aboard!! Come set sail with us as we take you on an architectural boat tour of Toronto’s Inner Harbour. Hosted by our TSA Tour Guides aboard Toronto Harbour Tour’s Miss Kim Simpson, this 90-minute cruise will reveal the fascinating story behind the buildings and landscapes of Toronto’s Inner Harbour all from the comfort of our enclosed boat.

We’ll begin our journey on the western waterfront, where we'll witness the legacy of our harbour’s industrial past now transformed into places to live, work and play. Our attention will then turn to the Toronto Islands, visiting its tranquil lagoons while revealing the many ways we have shaped these landforms to meet our city’s ever-changing needs. Distant views will provide the perfect backdrop to discuss our quickly evolving skyline, including iconic landmarks and new supertalls currently under construction. Our tour will end with a visit to the eastern waterfront and Ookwemin Minising, where one of the world’s largest waterfront revitalization projects is taking place. We’ll speak about the important role environmental stewardship is playing in shaping the next chapter of Toronto’s harbour and the ambitious plans for its future.

See Toronto from a whole new perspective and join us on a tour you won't soon forget!
