Choose the right Toronto Islands ferry dock

Toronto's three island ferry destinations are not interchangeable, and in winter only Ward's Island operates. Pick the landing that fits your visit and calculate published city ticket costs.

Build your ferry plan

Enter your group and travel date. View only fare categories backed by published operator rates. Confirm booking and current cancellations with the operator.

Pricing shown is illustrative, dated operator information—not live availability or a purchase.

Before you leave for the dock

STEP 01

Choose the route

Select the island destination by your itinerary, not simply the shortest line.

STEP 02

Check the details

Choose the date: winter sailings only reach Ward's Island on the published seasonal schedule.

STEP 03

Verify the return

Check departure and last-return times; allow queue time on sunny summer weekends.

Route-specific decisions

Mid-April to mid-October typically serves Centre Island, Ward's Island and Hanlan's Point. Toronto's 2026 winter schedule begins October 14 on Ward's only.

Tickets include the return journey. Last boats vary by landing and season; confirm city schedule, especially after dusk.

The city warns of long peak-season queues. Online tickets provide an express entrance line, not a reserved departure seat.

What is live and what is not?

These tools calculate against operator-published 2026 reference data and your inputs. The date selection does not retrieve ticket inventory or prove a ferry will sail. All current departures, booking availability and cancellations must be checked through the official operator links above. The planner deliberately withholds a total when rates are incomplete.
