We will take brakes to look at some flora and fauna and take numerous pictures. A must do visit will be to the Toronto Harbour for the most Instagramable photo opportunity with the magnificent city skyline. In this 1hr program we will see the most of the park. The Toronto Islands Archipelago stretches for some 5 km and consisted of some 15 islands. We will paddle through the sheltered and picturesque channels to have a special magical perspective on the islands. The islands' park is located in a close proximity to the Toronto downtown and is accessible by a short - 10min - ferry ride. It is rightfully considered the most beautiful park and while there are usually many visitors in the park, the waterways are calm and secluded.
