Winter was exceptionally rough this year, so if you’ve been craving sunshine, music, and a drink in hand, a popular tiki boat tour is\u00a0officially making its return to Toronto.<\/p>\n
This summer, Palapa Tours is launching its popular floating tiki bars onto Toronto’s waters beginning on May 1. Because don’t we all deserve to be relaxing on a boat with good music, good friends, and a steady supply of Mai Tais?<\/p>\n
If a trip to Hawaii isn’t in your cards<\/a> this year, no problem. Who’s to say you can’t treat the Toronto Islands as your own tropical escape \u2014\u00a0at least for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n Departing from HTO Park, these cruises will take you through the city’s inner harbour and around the Islands on custom-built floating tiki bars.<\/p>\n Along with free Wi-Fi (so you can make everyone on our IG feed envious of your special private charter), there’s a licensed bartender and bar onboard so you can leave the pouring and the mixing to the professionals.<\/p>\n “For our second season, we focused on enhancing the experience while keeping what people loved most. It’s\u00a0still about being on the water with your friends, a drink in hand, and the Toronto skyline around you,”\u00a0says\u00a0Palapa Tours co-owner Alex Pancharovski.<\/p>\n And this year, there’s a special twist. With the FIFA World Cup coming to Toronto<\/a>, some rides will be soccer-themed, along with other experiences tied to cultural and sporting moments, so stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n
