Looking for Toronto Harbour tour tickets? You may have a choice between a short sightseeing cruise, a longer cruise on a tall ship, or a meal and a trip on the water. It's all up to you what you want and how much time you have.

Decide first on the day you want to go on a tour and how many people are going with you. Then shop around for the tours by comparing the time, what they include, and the price. It's a lot easier to narrow down your options when you know what each ticket includes. Browse Toronto Harbour tour tickets.

Compare Toronto Harbour tours before you book

Choose your sightseeing cruise tickets

A sightseeing ticket is as good a starting point as any if your main concern is getting out on the harbour. You can then judge the value of the boat outing on its own merits, rather than having to factor in a meal package as well.

Check the available departure times first. A tour that departs near to where you have other plans may well be more convenient than a cheaper option that requires you to hurry from one end of the city to the other.

Book the 60-minute harbour tour

Consider the 60-minute sightseeing tour  if you want to enjoy a narrated cruise and have about an hour to spare on board.

Read the boarding instructions and tour details carefully. You need to allow time to get to the meeting point and check in, so leave a sufficient gap between this booking and your next one.

Compare the harbour and islands cruise

The harbour and islands cruise is worth considering for a shorter experience.

Compare their departure options with the hour tour, and decide for yourself based on what the review says, rather than the time it takes.

Book a Toronto tall ship cruise

A tall ship can be a good option if choosing the vessel is part of the fun. Review the sailing description and make sure the time on board will please all those travelling.

You may enjoy spending more time on the water while someone you're traveling with may have no interest in spending extra days on the ship. Decide on this before making a reservation.

Find a dining cruise for your occasion

If you are going to book a meal anyway, then a dining cruise would help you to combine two facets of a day out. Begin by choosing the meal you fancy and then find out the dates, menu details, and full price.

Do not assume that all drinks and extras are included. Check what is included with the selected ticket first before adding on any extras to your order.

Choose a brunch cruise

Brunch is a perfect choice for a friendly meeting of your friends or a family celebration. First of all, check if there is a sailing of your interest on your chosen day and explore the menu.

Make sure to ask if one of your guests has any dietary restrictions in advance. It will save you from awkward moments when you cannot fulfill everyone’s needs. Remember that this is not an issue worth arguing about—just pick the option that suits your guests most.

Reserve a lunch cruise

A lunch cruise works well if you need something for your day but have made other plans for the evening.

Check the arrival instructions against your morning schedule. You should have enough time to finish your previous activity, plus allow time to get from there to the place where you board your cruise, without rushing.


Book a dinner cruise

For an anniversary, birthday, or evening together, look at the dinner cruise option.

Decide which of the details you want to pay for. It could be the meal, the seating, or even an optional extra. Then You want to confirm that the essential request (or anything else you ask for) actually comes as a part of the ticket.

Compare cruise and attraction packages 

A combo booking is a good deal if you're already doing the others, but a bad deal if all you want is the cruise.

Read the itineraries and compare the whole package to the separate tickets you would have had to have bought anyway, plus figure in the time restraints of using everything.

Consider a city tour package

If you are looking for a guided city tour plus a boat trip, see the city tour combinations. Look at the attractions, inclusions, and organization of the day. Choose one that fits your schedule. Multiple activities in one booking are convenient only if they fit your day's plan. 

Compare a bus and boat combination

A bus and boat package could work for guests who want to experience both transportation types.

Before purchasing, make sure to read the fine print for the ticket validity and how to claim it. Ensure that your itinerary gives you enough time to use both forms of transport included.

Check Toronto Harbour tour ticket prices

Compare prices with the same day and number of guests. A starting price may entice you to book, but whatever gets added on for your chosen date is what should be in your guest budget.

Check any add-ons before paying for them. If it does not sound like something you would enjoy, don't get it.

Compare the full cost for your group

For couples and families, calculate the whole outing rather than just compare one adult ticket at a time. Include the categories that apply to each of your guests and any extras you plan on buying.

It can also help to include travel to the boarding point. A convenient departure can save you time and transportation fees.

Check what your ticket includes

Refer to the inclusion list and look for the cruise, meal, transport, or attraction that you are considering. If you have questions, address them prior to purchasing. 

Pictures help you know the good times you are going to have while the package description tells you what you are going to get. 

Pick a departure that fits your trip

Begin with a date that you are comfortably able to commit to. Then, work on the available time around hotel check in, travel plans, and other reservations.

Small gaps in between are well worth it for the opportunity to explore the area around the boarding point and avoid the rush of having to keep track of the clock.

Select the correct guest categories

Check age bands prior to selecting family tickets. Please read any conditions for children or infants and make sure everyone that should be included is on your reservation.

If you are making a group booking, please check availability for the whole party on the same departure before anyone makes a separate booking.


Review the boarding location

Use the meeting point indicated for your particular tour. Do not use the address for a different sailing.

Work out how you will get there and try to be at the arrival time quoted with your booking. You may find those instructions helpful in case you decide to do something else nearby.

Read cancellation terms before payment

The cancellation conditions are part of the ticket choice. Check the refund deadline, date-change rules, and any separate terms for optional additions.

If your plans are still uncertain, consider whether a more flexible option is worth the difference in price. Choose terms that match the way you are travelling.
