Toronto Islands Ferry Schedule & Info

The only way to get to and from the Toronto Islands is by ferries operated by the City of Toronto, leaving from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, or private water taxis leaving from a separate dock. The Ferry Terminal is located in the heart of downtown Toronto and is very easy to get to.

There are three different pedestrian ferries that take visitors to three different locations: Ward’s Island, Centre Island, and Hanlan’s Point. The ferry ride is approximately 15 minutes. All the islands are connected to each other and visitors can walk or bike from one to another. You can bring your wheelchair, your bike, your pet (leashed), and your strollers on the ferry, but no cars allowed.

  • The Toronto Island ferry runs a separate schedule on public holidays. See a list of Ontario public holidays here and see below for the holiday schedules.
  • The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal is undergoing a complete renovation. Check the Waterfront Toronto website for the latest information on construction delays.

Purchase tickets online or in person at the ferry docks, booths 3 to 9. Pre-purchased ticket holders can enter through booth 1 and 2.

Boarding on the ferries is first come, first serve.

  • As tickets are only required to travel to the island, the price is effectively for a round trip. Traveling from the island to the mainland does not require a ticket.
  • Tickets can be purchased with Visa, Mastercard, & American Express, with the addition of a cash option being available at the Ferry Terminal.
  • Toronto Islands ferry ticket prices:
    • Adult — $9.11
    • Youth (14-18 with ID) & Senior (65+) — $5.86
    • Junior (2-13) — $4.29
    • Infant (under 2) — FREE
    • Monthly passes (only available at the Ferry Terminal, not online) are available for frequent travellers

    1. The province of Ontario is currently running an e-scooter pilot project to determine the legal feasibility of these devices. Toronto is not participating in the pilot. E-scooters are illegal to use in Toronto and on Toronto Island.

      Municipalities that have opted in to the pilot include Ottawa, Hamilton, Windsor, York Region, Brampton, Mississauga, the Region of Waterloo, the Region of Durham (but only on “Regional” roads, not “City” roads), and others.

      1. E-Scooters are legal to own in Toronto…walk it onto the ferry…if they ask, tell them you are taking it to the island to sell to someone on kijiji…if they complain, fold it up and carry it on…if they still have problems you can probably make a complaint with the ombudsman…

  2. Hi, I’d like to know if the ferry is accessible to an electric wheelchair?
    Also, do you recommand to book the ticket in advance for a certain day, to be sure to have a place on the ferry?

    Thanks a lot.

    Reply

    1. Ferries are wheelchair accessible. Tickets are valid for any day at any time — they are not sold for specific days or time slots. You could buy a ticket today and use it three months from now, for instance. The ferries board in a first come, first serve manner.

  3. Why are Electric Unicycle not allowed onboard of the ferry? While It allow all other electric transportations such as electric bikes, electric scooters and electric wheelchairs. I was turned away from the ferry dock by the staff telling me that “I cannot board the ferry with an electric powered vehicle”. If it’s about fire safety reasons, then why are some electric transportation allowed, and not the other?

  5. How far in advance can you purchase ferry tickets online? Do you have to purchase tickets for a designated day?

  7. Once you have booked your ticket for a certain day, can you take the ferry to the island at any time during that day?

  11. Why is the last ferry boat to the City from Hanlan’s Point so early. 4:15 pm is awfully early especially if one wants to have a BBQ or enjoy the clothing optional beach ? Wouldn’t it be too much to ask to have a last ferry boat departing Hanlan’s at around 7:30 or 8:30 pm ?

  17. Can non-residents of Ward’s Island take the ferry there? In this comment section there are two conflicting replies.

  19. Are the ferries working for people living on the mainland and just want to go to the islands for a walk ???

    1. Toronto Island Park is currently closed. Ferries are running to Ward’s Island only, for the residents who live there. The ferries to Centre Island and Hanlan’s Point are not operating.

      Reply

  20. Is the Hanlans Point ferry operating? The last two times I visited the islands this site told me the ferry was operating and when I got to terminal it was not.
