PADDLE THE TORONTO HARBOUR
FRONT - 1 DAY ADVENTURE
1 Day Paw & Paddle - $105 Per Person incl dog
This
unique 1-day experience is for those looking to paddle
our beautiful Toronto harbourfront with a great group
of dog lovers and their pups. The beauty of this day
is we enjoy our paddle through the 13 islands in a huge
Voyageur canoe. This provides a unique paddling experience
as we have many paddlers in one boat at the same time
...this way no one needs to know how to paddle! Our
day will be spent paddling over to the islands, through
the passage ways within the islands, to a beach and
on to a great picnic spot where we break and let the
dogs run around while we stop for a delicious lunch.
Then we start our jouney back to the Harbour front.
