Seasonal operations affect ferry service throughout the year, with full service to all three islands from spring through fall.

Online ticket sales help reduce wait times at the terminal, especially during busy weekends and holidays. Pre-purchased tickets provide flexibility while ensuring access during peak demand periods.
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.

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.
