We had an unforgettable experience on the Muskoka Steamships on Canada Day 2025. The scenery was…read morebreathtaking, the steamship itself was a marvel, with its elegant vintage like design mix with few modern amenities. We passed some luxurious and humble lake house and cottages (that was the highlight). While the experience was lovely, I did not have much interaction with the staff beyond confirming our tickets. If you are looking for a unique and memorable experience, I would recommend the Muskoka Steamships. Whether you are a nature lover, history buff, or just looking for a relaxing day out, this is a greatt activity. For now, 4/5 only because we had not tried out their food options which is offered for additional price. So next time , that would be our goal. Tips: - Book in advance to ensure availability - Arrive early to explore the dock area - Bring a camera to capture the stunning views.

My family, including my two teenage sons decided to take the 1.5 hour boat tour to enjoy the…read moreafternoon and learn more about the area. We were thankful that the boat had both indoor seating and outdoor seating as it was a chilly day. While we awaited the boat we shopped in the store which had an extensive collection of items made by local artists. What we liked: When asked questions the crew was knowledgeable. The boat was very pretty- much nicer than other boat tours we've done. They had a full bar and snacks for purchase. Lots of different views from the boat- three levels of I treating spaces. Plenty of seating. What we didn't like: From the website it looked like we would be enjoying a steamship. The boat we took was a diesel ship. It seemed like we would learn about local history of the area- but it was a prerecorded tour that was out of sync with what we were supposed to be looking at. This made it confusing and we were unsure of what we were supposed to notice. It was pricey for what it was. And there is an additional charge for the museum. Crew was moving furniture from the dining room for the carpet to be replaced. The tour felt like an imposition for the crew to get their work done on the boat. Not great pictures of the beautiful dining room because there were chairs stacked everywhere. There are many great museums in the area and lots of cool experiences, many that are free.. I wish we had skipped this one & spent time elsewhere.

Wow! What an amazing tour! My family and I booked a 1-hour boat tour with Toronto Harbour Tours…read morebefore our flight back home and we were very pleased with the service. The narrator had great energy and you can tell she either really loved her job or she enjoyed telling customers the history of the Toronto waterfront. I can't quite remember her name (apologies!) but our tour was on 05/27/19 at noon and our crew (especially the girl who gave the narration) had amazing humor, charm, and sass. We had also missed our 11am tour because we ran late in storing our luggage at a nearby storage locker and the staff person at the window had no issues rescheduling us for the 12pm tour. Amazing!

The two person crew did a great job both driving the boat and talking about the sights we were seeing. I enjoyed learning a bit more about the city. One heads up...the stairs down into the main seating area are extremely steep. It's only a few, and the railings are sturdy, but for someone with balance or mobility challenges this could be hard. It might be worth calling ahead to see if space on the small back upper level is prioritized for those who can't navigate the stairs.

Today is October 12, 2024 we missed our cruise due to an accident on the way to the tour schedule…read more It was half an hour drive and we purposely started heading off at least an hour before the schedule. Knowing that we would be late, we called them 15 to 20 times, emailed as well but nobody picked up the phone. Upon arriving there after half an hour of our scheduled tour (2pm) we found many other people (about 20 something) having also missed the tour due to the accident on the way. We waited till the next tour and told them about having missed the tour. They told us to emailed and reschedule. we did as instructed and now it is 6:15 pm and nobody bothered to respond to our email, voice messages and missed phone calls. Is This how they do business? Very unprofessional and that is very disappointing. looks like they only know how to make money and fool people but doesn't know how to do it professionally and doesn't care about people's feelings. I will never recommend others to use their service. They are scammers

The Lady Muskoka boat tour was a lot of fun! We took a Sunday afternoon tour that lasted just under…read morethree hours. The tour takes about 40 minutes to get to lake Muskoka as you go by several pretty properties on the edge of the water. The canal is a no wake zone so it is a bit slow moving until you get out to the big lake. Then you spend about an hour out on lake before heading back in and repeat the 40 minutes returning to dock on the canal. Out on the lake you get to see dozens of summer houses in millionaires row. Very pretty. You can buy an additional meal along with your ticket, or they have a grill on the first level that serves hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, etc. The scenery is better than the food. There is a a good burger and ice cream place across the street from their location. Make sure you have sun screen on as you may spend the entire time in the sun.

Dear Boaters and Lake Enthusiasts, We decided to enjoy a…read morevery hot day on the waters of Lake Scugog and booked a pontoon at Scugog Island Marina a day before our arrival. I would like to share our experience with you. Booking online was easy. The website is simple to navigate, making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for. Prices are reasonable and very competitive with other nearby marinas. It took us only an hour to drive to the Scugog Island Marina location from Thornhill. Parking is ample, and the office seems to have been recently renovated, making it very welcoming. We were greeted by Ema, who is very professional, polite, and accommodating. She is a pleasure to deal with. Our pontoon was ready half an hour before our booked time, which was no issue. The check-in process with Ema was a breeze. Tip: Use the nearby washrooms before you sail away. They are clean and spacious. The lake itself isn't your ideal Caribbean destination, but the pontoon makes it fun, especially for the kids who lined up to take control of the steering wheel. Upon returning to the marina, we were welcomed again by Ema, who took care of us. Life jackets were provided, and two tanks full of gasoline were on board. We only sailed for an hour, as the kids needed to use the washroom, so we had to turn back. I would give 10 out of 10 for customer service, 7 out of 10 for the boat, and 10 out of 10 for value. Highly recommend.

The clubhouse is situated at the end of Gordon street and offers a fantastic view of lake Ontario.

Since we joined towards the end of this year's boating season, we did not get to experience the regatta and other fun activities like the Octoberfest planned by the club, but we're looking forward to enjoying the full experience next year.

From intro sailing for little kids (called Mosquitos) to more advanced sailing programs (White Sail) to advanced sailing techniques and racing (Broze, Silver, Gold), the WYC is a superb place for smart, active, eager kids who love the water and want to learn many life lessons and skills they will hold onto for the rest of their lives. Our favourite instructor Ian has moved on and now Emma has taken over. My son raves about Emma and the other instructors. Both on water and classroom instruction. The little kids play games too and have fun. Sunscreen required...at least SPF 45, applied at least twice a day. At the end of the year there is a banquet and the kids get their diplomas, have a meal and awards are handed out. Trust me, this is a great summer program. Space is limited. Go to www.wyc.ca and check out the summer school brochure and schedule. We're not members of the club, you dont need to be either. I hope a couple of members review the club itself...seems like a great group of people.

That's probably part of the experience in some cases. Everyone working here seems to be either family or very close to each other.

Highly recommended.

On a crisp, sunny winter afternoon, we went dogsledding for the first time! What a way to embrace…read morewinter. The snow was fresh and although it was -24, it was bearable with the extra blankets we brought. We booked a half-day experience; I'd recommend this because it took about an hour for Winterdance to get everything all set up, including carrying the dogs out of the transportation kennels, hooking them to the lines, and introducing them to their human teams. Since the dogs were so excited (imagine 50 dogs barking all at the same time!) it was a little hard to keep them all from bolting into the woods! There were ten teams who left at the same time, to go on the exact same track, so we couldn't really see how fast our dogs could go. Three of the teams were the Winterdance staff, who were interspersed between participants. We had to start and stop constantly because of the other teams, but I suppose it's also probably for our safety that they kept our dogs from going flying. Our team was comprised of male dogs, one of whom (shout-out to Garrett!) has done the epic week-and-a-half long Yukon Quest. This is touted as the "world's toughest race," so as you can imagine, after we finished our easy 2-hour run, he was still barking and pulling to go again. You can really tell that these dogs are doing what they love. Recommended experience but here are two tips: 1) use the washroom beforehand because Winterdance only has a frigid outhouse, and 2) when it was over, our GPS couldn't locate us to help us leave; pay attention to the landmarks on your way in!
