We operate out of Cherry Beach just minutes away from Toronto’s downtown core. After a brief beach lesson we head into the water and minutes away is the canal leading into the Toronto harbour! We hear “Wow” alot when we turn the corner as the Toronto skyline is pretty stunning. We have Cabana Pool Bar to our right and in front of us we have the skyline which includes the iconic CN Tower and the Rogers Center. There’s tons to look at including the planes flying over us coming into land and taking off from the Toronto Island Airport!

We offer Lessons, Excursions, Flat Water, Downwinders, Paddle Games, Racing, Rentals, Sunset Paddle, SUP Yoga, Tours and Workouts.
The Sunset SUP lesson and tour is our most popular lesson. It runs from 6:30-9:30 Tuesday through Sunday and is a show stopper! We start off with an into lesson on the beach followed by an in the water lesson. We then paddle over to the Toronto Island and explore the harbour while our instructors give some history lessons about the island. Once we arrive on the island we stop for a dinner break overlooking the Toronto skyline. We provide drybags so people can bring their dinner. Once break is finished we go out in front of the skyline at Sunset and do a photo shoot of our students in front of the skyline and send send everyone their photos following their evening!
Are there any other local attractions others may be interested in?
There is a bird aviary we paddle to a few times a week which a variety of birds and bird watchers go to by foot.
Do you have a season or do you operate year round?
We operate May through September and sometimes into October, weather dependent of course. The fall colours on the trees add to the scenery and make for a fun paddle session.

Our fave is El Catrin Distilleria in the historic Distillery District. About a 5 minute drive from Cherry Beach, El Catrin is an authentic Mexican Restaurant with Guacamole made at your table and Margaritas you won’t want to stop drinking!
Where would you recommend travelers stay nearby?
One King West is our hotel of choice! A boutique hotel in the downtown core, it’s central to everything a tourist could possibly need and our top tip ask to see the Vault in the basement, it is an old converted bank!
Are there any additional activities nearby that you recommend?
Take in a concert, head over to the St. Lawrence Market for some food shopping on the weekends, Get some tickets for the Blue Jays or Toronto Raptors.
