Palapa Tours brings island vibes to Toronto with tropical floating bars, 90-minute cruises, and themed events around the city’s waterfront islands this summer.
Island Vibes Arrive on Toronto’s Waterfront
Toronto is set to channel serious tropical energy this summer as Palapa Tours returns with its wildly popular Hawaiian-style floating bars. Forget the long-haul flights-these cruises offer a taste of the tropics just minutes from downtown.
Sip, Sail, and Celebrate on the Water
Starting this month, two custom-built, fully licensed vessels will whisk guests on 90-minute cruises around the lush Toronto Islands. Whether you’re looking to unwind with friends, celebrate a birthday, or host a bachelorette party, these floating bars promise a unique escape with lively music, stunning skyline views, and a full bar on board.
Private Charters and Themed Events for Every Occasion
Palapa Tours isn’t just about sipping cocktails in the sun. This season, they’re rolling out private charters for up to 12 people-perfect for corporate events or special celebrations. The expanded lineup also includes monthly karaoke nights, sunset date cruises, and other themed experiences, running seven days a week from May through September.
The Ultimate Urban Getaway
The Toronto Islands, North America’s largest urban car-free community, provide the perfect backdrop for these cruises. With walking and cycling as the main ways to get around, the islands offer a peaceful retreat from city life-now with a tropical twist.
Why Now? Tourism Booms as the Dollar Stretches Further
With the U.S. dollar surging and international visitors flocking to Canada for better value, Toronto’s tourism scene is thriving. Experiences like Palapa Tours are helping local businesses capitalize on this trend, offering unforgettable adventures that appeal to both locals and tourists eager for something new.
