Night SUP Adventure: the most exhilarating experience Toronto has to offer.
Enjoy a calm sunset tour as you paddle your way through the serene waterways of the Toronto Islands. With your illuminated torch paddle at hand, you will light up hidden paths that will lead you to breathtaking views of the city skyline, island homes and wildlife. Minimum requirement for participation requires the ability to swim short distances and tread water even without a lifejacket on.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To keep guests spaced out, we have made our rental slots private. If booking a rental with a group of friends/fam its best to sign up on one booking to get the same time slot. You can choose to split payment and follow the prompts. After booking, please sign the digital waiver to maximize your time on the water. Sign once, good forever. See contact page for important information on getting here during the COVID-19 pandemic.
*subject to change based on weather and safety conditions. All skill-levels welcome. Paddleboard instructors will be on-hand to assist beginners and anyone new to night paddling. All equipment provided.

We begin with a leisurely sunset paddle under the Algonquin Bridge past island homes and boat houses, arriving at the sandy shoals of Sunfish Cut.

We take a short break here for photo opportunities and an optional short swim in the warm, shallow waters.

Torch Paddle LED Lighting System
LIGHT UP THE NIGHT!
As dusk falls, it’s time to light up your Torch Paddle! Each Torch Paddle features an LED lighting system built seamlessly right into the blade and shaft of the paddle providing a blazing 720 lumens of light. Lights shine on just one side of the blade; lighting up everything in front of you, without blinding you or those behind you.
