Must do during the summer months. Take a ferry from downtown Harbourfront to one of Toronto’s islands. Centre island is the largest one but there’s also Wards Island and Hanlans Point. You can spend the whole day there - bike around, have a picnic, go to the beach. Bonus is that there’s amazing views of the Toronto skyline.
