Kayak Eco Tour in Toronto Islands, Canada

Toronto Island is the only island chain in Western Lake Ontario. It is home to a diverse collection of plants and wildlife, and it holds a deep history reaching back to the first native American people. Did you know that the site of Toronto, then called York, was chosen because of the prime natural harbour formed by Toronto Island, which was a peninsula at the time? Wards and Algonquin Island rank among the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, and some of their ancestors are still here today. All of this speaks to the abundant nature and the rich past of these islands in the western part of Lake Ontario.
