The Toronto Island ferry service operates year-round connecting downtown Toronto to the beautiful Toronto Islands in Lake Ontario.

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.

Seasonal operations affect ferry service throughout the year, with full service to all three islands from spring through fall. Summer brings the highest frequency of departures and the longest operating hours to accommodate peak tourist season.
