Travel Ideas: Outdoors

There are countless walking, biking and hiking trails to discover.

Despite its thriving city status, Toronto is rich with green spaces (more than 1,500 parks!) and a beautifully redeveloped waterfront. So, visitors can take part in all those quintessentially Canadian outdoor activities.

Explore water activities in the spring and summer — think: canoeing, glow-in-the-dark kayaking, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and so much more. Tall ships cruises offer dinner and cocktails or can be rented for private parties. For a simpler activity to enjoy the waters, harbour tours or water taxis are also available.

An entire car-free island is just a short ferry ride away, where bike rentals are available, and lunch at a quaint café awaits. When the winter rolls around, Toronto becomes a wonderland of winter activities with plenty of public ice rinks for hockey games or leisure skating, tall hills for tobogganing, and cozy heated patios. Plus, there are light festivals and winter solstice celebrations to enjoy.
