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.
Ferry tickets for Toronto Island include round-trip passage and can be purchased online or at the terminal. Adult tickets cost $9.11, with reduced rates for seniors and students at $5.86, children under 14 at $4.29, and free passage for children under 2.

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.
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. Winter service is limited to Ward’s Island only, as Centre Island attractions close and weather conditions may affect access to Hanlan’s Point.
Ferry schedules to Toronto Island vary seasonally to accommodate changing demand and weather conditions. During summer months, ferries operate as frequently as every 15-30 minutes to handle the peak visitor volume of up to 75,000 passengers daily. Winter schedules are reduced, with service to Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point typically suspended, while Ward’s Island maintains year-round service for residents.

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.
Bicycle rentals and bike-friendly ferry service make cycling a popular way to explore Toronto Islands. All ferries accommodate bicycles at no extra charge, and Bike Share Toronto stations are located near the ferry terminal. The islands feature dedicated cycling paths connecting all major attractions and providing scenic routes through parks and along waterfront areas.
Parking near the ferry terminal is limited and expensive, making public transit the recommended transportation method. Several paid parking lots operate in the area, but spaces fill quickly during peak periods. The terminal’s proximity to Union Station and streetcar connections makes public transit both convenient and cost-effective for ferry passengers.
