Highlights

The CN Tower is a characteristic hallmark of Toronto’s skyline and attracts over two million global visitors each year. The ‘CN’ in its name was initially an acronym for Canadian National, the railway establishment that constructed the tower. The tower is equipped with several observation platforms, a spinning dining place at approximately 1,151 feet (351 metres), and a recreational hub.
Harbourfront Centre operates as a global centre for modern arts, culture, and ideas, and is a registered, charitable not-for-profit cultural firm managing a 10-acre site on Toronto’s core seashore. Harbourfront Centre provides round-the-clock programs 52 weeks a year, seven days weekly, assisting a comprehensive array of artists and communities.
Sugar Beach is a city beach park based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, unveiled in 2010. It is situated across from Redpath Sugar Refinery in Toronto’s eastern East Bayfront. Much like HTO Park on the west, the beach is not designed to allow wading or swimming in Lake Ontario, but rather serves as a waterfront public place for rest, leisure, and social activities.
The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse placed on the Toronto Islands in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Commenced in 1808, it is the oldest standing lighthouse on the Great Lakes and one amongst Toronto’s oldest structures. The lighthouse is most famous for the downfall of its first caretaker, John Paul Radelmüller, a German native whose 1815 homicide led to Toronto’s longest-lasting ghost tale.
Rogers Centre (originally SkyDome) is a versatile retractable roof stadium in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, nestled just southwest of the CN Tower near the northern coastline of Lake Ontario. Founded in 1989 on the former Railway Lands, it plays host to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB) and holds several large stadium concerts annually.
Scotiabank Arena, formerly recognized as Air Canada Centre (ACC), is a multi-purpose venue located on Bay Street in the South Core section of Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It serves as the base for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Scotiabank Arena also hosts other events like concerts, political conventions, and video game tournaments.
The Redpath Sugar Refinery is a sugar containment, refining, and museum compound in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The facility is located east of Downtown Toronto, at the crossover of Queens Quay and Jarvis Street.

Great experience with friendly staff - Very easy to find, plenty of open air space to wait and view the harbor. We got there about 20 minutes early to ensure we got a good seat on the top deck of the boat. Great tour guide pointing out notable landmarks with history and stories about them. Definitely recommend this tour.

Fun Times :) - Was not expecting full commentary during the 60-minute ride, though it was actually really neat and informative especially when being from Toronto I didn't know a few of the tid bits she mentioned during the cruise. Overall it was fun!

Nice - Nice leisurely cruise of the city waterfront. Narration by a friendly and knowledgeable guide, gave us information of the unique buildings of the city, the islands, nearby airport, etc. It was a little cool being early May with a light breeze. Lower deck is enclosed, so it was warmer, but upper deck had clear plastic coverings over the sides that broke the breeze and made it more comfortable.

Quick taste of Toronto Harbor - The day I did this cruise the weather was ideal! The boat was comfortable. Because the narration was only in English, many travelers did not understand and did not pay attention
