Ferry Toronto

Historical significance of Toronto Island ferries dates back to 1833 with the first crossing by “Sir John of the Peninsula.” The Toronto Ferry Company operated services until 1926 when the City of Toronto purchased the fleet. This rich maritime heritage continues today with modern vessels serving the same essential transportation function.

Hanlan’s Point ferry provides access to the westernmost island, known for its recreational facilities and natural beauty. This island features tennis courts, volleyball courts, a baseball diamond, and extensive green spaces perfect for picnics and gatherings. Hanlan’s Point is also home to Toronto’s only clothing-optional beach and the historic Gibraltar Point Lighthouse.

Seasonal attractions vary throughout the year, with summer offering full access to all amenities and winter providing unique experiences. Spring and fall feature moderate crowds and pleasant weather for island exploration. Each season brings different natural beauty and recreational opportunities for ferry passengers to discover.

The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal is conveniently located at 9 Queens Quay West and is easily accessible by public transit. The 509 and 510 streetcars provide direct connections from Union Station to the terminal, making it unnecessary to drive and deal with expensive downtown parking. The terminal features washrooms, ticket machines, and separate lines for pre-purchased ticket holders.

Centreville Amusement Park is a major attraction on Centre Island, operating daily during summer months from 10:30 AM to 8 PM on weekends. The park features family-friendly rides including bumper boats, antique cars, a mini roller coaster, and the famous swan boats. Entry to the park is free, but individual ride tickets or day passes can be purchased on-site or online.

Family-friendly amenities make Toronto Island ferry service ideal for visitors of all ages. Strollers and child safety equipment are welcome on all vessels, and family washrooms are available at the terminal and on islands. The short ferry ride and engaging views help keep children entertained during the journey.

Ferry accessibility ensures all visitors can enjoy Toronto Island regardless of mobility needs. The modern ferry fleet includes wheelchair-accessible vessels with elevators and designated spaces for mobility devices. Island facilities including washrooms, pathways, and major attractions are designed to accommodate visitors with disabilities.

Toronto Islands consist of 15 interconnected islands spanning approximately 5 kilometers from Ward’s Island in the east to Hanlan’s Point in the west. The three main destinations served by the ferry are Centre Island, Ward’s Island, and Hanlan’s Point, each offering distinct attractions and experiences. All islands are connected by pathways and bridges, allowing visitors to explore multiple areas during their visit.

The Toronto Island ferry service operates year-round connecting downtown Toronto to the beautiful Toronto Islands in Lake Ontario. The City of Toronto operates this essential transportation link from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at the foot of Bay Street to three distinct island destinations. This ferry service has been connecting Torontonians and visitors to the islands since 1833, making it one of the oldest ferry services in North America.

Photography opportunities abound during ferry crossings and island visits, with spectacular views of Toronto’s skyline from the water. The ferry ride provides unique vantage points for capturing the city’s architecture and waterfront. Islands offer diverse photo locations from beaches and gardens to historic lighthouse and village scenes.

Toronto Island beaches offer four distinct swimming areas along the islands’ southern shores. Centre Island Beach (Manitou Beach) provides lifeguarded swimming during summer months and is easily accessible from the ferry dock. Gibraltar Point Beach sits between Centre and Hanlan’s Point, while Ward’s Island Beach offers a quieter alternative on the eastern shore.
