Best Time to Go and What to Expect on Lake Ontario

Early and late morning are peaceful times on Lake Ontario. The light is soft for photos, and the air is cool. This is perfect for enjoying the decks in summer. From spring to early fall, Toronto’s weather is good for outdoor relaxing.

Summer weekends in Toronto Harbour are lively. There are more boats and the skyline is buzzing. The quieter times are in the shoulder seasons. Then, you get clear views, perfect for a calm Sightseeing Cruise of Toronto.

The water inside Toronto Harbour is usually calm. But it feels windier in open areas. Wear layers, as it can get cool quickly. Wear shoes that won’t slip, and don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen.

If it starts to rain, you can still enjoy the views from inside. Cruises go out rain or shine. They only change plans for safety and navigating on Lake Ontario.

Pro tip: Go in the morning to avoid crowds. You’ll get great views of the CN Tower. Plus, it’s less busy than in the afternoon.
