Toronto’s HIDDEN GEM Harbour Experience
Embark on a journey to Toronto’s hidden gem – the Harbour Experience! From boating to exploring the Toronto Islands, this video will showcase the sunny side of Toronto that you didn’t know existed. Feel the creative live vibes and enjoy this unforgettable adventure’s stunning Toronto skyline views!
This timeless video was recorded in September 2019 on an iPhone along the picturesque Toronto Island, Inner Harbour at Hanlans Point.
It’s a personal moment, a chance to capture whatever thoughts came to my mind that day. The stunning scenery was one of my favourite four-minute feel-good clips to capture.
In August 2024, I used FCP to add the new ‘IbraDan Creative’ 4-second outro at the end and burned in captions using https://www.rev.com.
I felt it best to keep the transitions and effects to a minimum to avoid taking away from the scenery. Captions enhance the reader’s appeal and add a professional touch to the video.

Adapted Transcript
I’m supposed to be working today but must be more focused.
It is so hard to do when surrounded by such incredible beauty. I mean, it’s just unreal. I will be going around the corner here and would like you to look at this view.
Look at the CN tower right behind me. You see it right there? Fantastic!
First, a little context: it’s the end of September, and my friends and I have a heatwave in Toronto. I’ve been on the island just hanging out on my own.
I will spin things around so you can see the spectacular view I am confronted with and ask yourself whether or not you would have difficulty focusing in this environment.
It’s a huge challenge.
Spinning the boat around, take a look behind me, and you know, all around the world, there’s this craziness happening and a lot of suffering.
It seems, at times, we’re on the verge of a terminal nuclear war with someone, and I’m here in my little oasis. And it’s not that I’m tuning out the world.
It’s not that I’m not empathetic toward people’s plight, but I don’t know; there’s this saying: don’t confuse your problems with being my problems.
I’m not saying I don’t have empathy towards other people, but I can’t get pulled into everybody’s shit.
I can’t look at that; this is my reality, and you create your reality. I’ve worked hard over the years.
It still is tough because I’m having a challenge monetizing my projects, but I’m going to make it work, and I’m looking forward to taking people on some tours in a very controlled way, with the right insurance and licenses and everything else because, you know, being on a boat,
I’ve always said it’s a privilege, not a right, and you’ve got to pay attention to the details.
Still, I wanted you to see this spectacular view at the end of September in Toronto, which is unheard of. We’re lucky because we got burned earlier in the season with nasty weather.
Now we’re sorry I got distracted and forgot what I said. I’m not even paying attention to what I’m saying because I’m stunned by this beauty.
With lots of love
Daniel~Ibrahim
