ESCAPE THE CITY™ CANOE PADDLE + DINING ADVENTURE
Designated
Canadian Signature Experience by Destination Canada.
Your once-in-a-lifetime Canadian Signature Experience begins with a leisurely Toronto Harbour paddle (yes, you paddle) to the beautiful Toronto Islands in a heritage Voyageur Canoe, a replica of those used by early Canadian settlers. Paddle past beautiful sailboats and yacht clubs all while we hear about the natural geography and history of the area.
Once we land at the Islands, your crew will present an amazing meal of wild-foraged ingredients, local meats, fish, salads – paired with Ontario artisan cheeses, handmade charcuterie, house-made breads, all prepared by by the culinary team at Culinary Adventure Co.
Plus, save room for local Ontario pastries and delicious sweet bites for dessert.
As the beautiful summer evening winds down, paddle back to the city, taking in the magnificent sunset and skyline view from the water. Our departure will also be timed to enjoy the stunning sight of jets taking off and landing at Billy Bishop airport.
A truly unforgettable Canadian experience.

Bring your appetite, our Food Tours + Adventures have you more than covered for Food + Drink. Bring a camera (or charged phone) for pics + memories. Bring your questions, we love sharing stories and recommendations for great places to eat + drink.
As for pace, while we set-up our Food Tours + Adventures with all our partners in advance, as small independent businesses, our partners will be busy juggling their regular customers and our tours, so we may face a tiny wait or eat standing at certain (small) stops. It’s part of our commitment to supporting local food, and showcasing the best eats, sips and bites of the city.
All our Food Tours run Rain, Snow or Shine, so please dress for the weather. Only our Escape the City: Canoe Paddle + Dining Adventure is subject to weather cancelation. We recommend purchasing our PEACE OF MIND™ Tour Protection if you think you might be affected by weather or travel changes.
