1000 Islands Day Tour With Islands Cruise (1-6 People)

Overview

French explorers first discovered the area of the 1000 Islands in the mid-1500s.

An archipelago of 1864 picturesque islands stretches for about 80 kilometres from where Lake Ontario meets the St. Lawrence River's source and is shared by Canada and the United States as part of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

The Great Canadian Shield, which includes the majority of these islands, was declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2002. Everyone who visits the area can appreciate the natural splendour of the Thousand Islands.

Highlights

Within the St. Lawrence River, 1000 islands appear about three hours northeast of Toronto. You will have the opportunity to explore this magnificent scenic area surrounded by flowing waterways throughout your tour.

Your journey begins in "the heart of the islands," a stunning region of Canada. You'll join a cruise ship that will take you past a series of beautiful islands of various sizes and shapes, ending in the spectacular and romantic Boldt Castle, built on the landscape-shaped "Heart Island." 

The historical relevance and importance of the people who contributed to the growth and prosperity of this area will be discussed on board the cruise ship in numerous languages. The following are some of the sites you will enjoy:

  • The majestic shores of the St. Lawrence River
  • The shortest international bridge
  • Striking vistas of Boldt Castle on Heart Island
  • Amazing views along the Thousand Islands Parkway
  • The colonial waterfront at the city of Kingston
