3-hour Thousand Islands cruise from Gananoque with Boldt Castle views, English/French audio, restroom onboard, and snack options.
“Gorgeous views but 3 hours was too long. 1-2 hours should be good. The boat was so crowded and loud because of so many people that I’d recommend trying to do it on a weekday.”

Kingston’s 3-hour Thousand Islands lunch cruise with live music, on-board commentary, and a three-course meal, plus optional drinks.
“Having visitors from out of the country, I booked the 3 hour lunch cruise out of Kingston. The tour was fabulous, the lunch was 5 star quality. My friends loved the day. Well done! My only suggestion would be to limit the music, to allow the conversation to be easier.”
A 90-minute catamaran cruise from Brockville through the 1000 Islands, with big-ship views, photogenic waterfronts, and tight passages.
“Better buy directly, don’t use apps. Might be a little boring”

3 days from Montreal to Toronto, the 1000 Islands, and Niagara Falls, with hotel and top sights, plus optional ticketed attractions.
“Luke the tour guide was great. He worked hard to keep his group together and safe. He was well informed and very polite and helpful. Mathew the bus driver was excellent, one of the best drivers I have ever travelled with. Skilled and friendly and helpful.”
Cruise Gananoque on the St. Lawrence for Canada Day or Fourth of July fireworks, with iconic island views and a short, sweet show.
“Unfortunately I did not read the fine print on this activity. If I had I would not have gone on a four hour cruise to see about 20 minutes of average fireworks then speed back to Gananoque in darkness. There were no announcements to explain our destination or any part of the river highlights. Most disappointing and certainly not worth the time or cost. If I could, I would request a refund.”

“Tres belle activite, les paysages sont magnifiques et le chateau Boldt est a voir!”
A fast 3-day tour from NY to Niagara, Toronto, and the Thousand Islands cruise, with big views and lots packed in.
“Jason, our tour guide was terrific He was very knowledgable and was incredibly helpful throughout our trip. However, the van was very uncomfortable. It was smaller than I expected as there were only 13 seats excluding the driver and the tour guide. The ride was very bumpy, especially in the back. It was hard to rest during the long stretches as the van would suddenly jolt or lurch on the highways. The included activities were nice and the hotels were okay. I would also like to say that the food places we were brought to were subpar and I would recommend looking for other spots if possible. We stopped by…”
3-day Montreal to Toronto and Niagara Falls trip with a Thousand Islands cruise, Hornblower, CN Tower area sights, and 2 hotel nights.
“the activity contains the basics. It would be preferable a hotel close to Toronto center to be choosen, to have the opportunity to enjoy the Toronto night.”
