The ferry provides access to the islands for recreational visitors and access to the mainland for island residents from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal.
There are four public ferry services to the islands. Three of these ferry services are operated by the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division of the City of Toronto, and provide links for passengers and service vehicles from a dock at the foot of Bay Street on the central Toronto waterfront to docks at Hanlan's Point, Centre Island Park and Ward's Island on the Toronto Islands. Service frequencies vary by time of year, with a two round trips an hour on each route in summer, but fewer sailings on fewer routes in winter.
The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal is located at the foot of Bay Street on the mainland and consists of four piers. They are located in the enclosed main docks, and the last pier is an open area to the east for the larger Trillium ferry boat. Toronto Fire Services fireboat William Lyon Mackenzie shares the dock spaces.
On a clear day, the trip from the city can afford spectacular views of the Toronto skyline and because you are moving, the views are had from many different vantage points. The view is constantly changing as the ferry makes its way either away from or towards the city.
