Our professional local guides share rich history, legends and lore as we get closer to the islands than any other tour. This "Heart of the Thousand Islands" tour gets you closer to the islands, includes views of magnificent million-dollar homes including "Millionaire's Row", travels under the American span of the 1000 Island Bridge System & one span of the Canadian bridges, and passes Rock Island Lighthouse on Rock Island At Heart Island guests have the option to take a self guided tour of millionaire George Boldt's Castle, built as a testament of love for his wife Louise, before tragedy struck in 1904. Departing Boldt Castle we travel US waters and the St. Lawrence Seaway shipping channel with the possibility of viewing oceangoing vessels that travel from around the world to the Great Lakes of North America.

Well worth it!!

Published on Jan, 2025

This boat trip and Castle tour exceeded expectations. The guide was super knowledgeable, the boat tour was calm and quiet, cool and perfect for a summer outing. The castle is amazing - best to see with someone who knows the history. And being able to wander and talk with castle docents was perfect. Highly recommend. Buy lunch in advance!

Amazing

Published on Oct, 2024

Michele and Jack were awesome! They gave us a great history of the river which came to life because it was their stories and research. Would definitely recommend and would take another ride if I knew they’d be the ones I was with.

Fun River Adventure

Published on Oct, 2024

We enjoyed an excellent tour driven by Captain Jack and narrated by Michele. Michele was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was able to share quite a few personal stories. The boat was comfortable, even for me while using a knee scooter. All employees were able to guide us on best access to Boldt Castle given my accessibility needs. The river got a little rough and splashy, but the boat was perfected and the tour continued. Highly recommend this adventure as part of your trip!

Great tour option

Published on Oct, 2024

This was a great tour. The boat was comfortable. We preordered lunch which allowed more time to walk around Bolt Island. The narration was very good and really pointed out interesting sights as well as giving history.

A fantastic tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

Captain Gary kept us very safe and Dennis was filled with oodles of knowledge that he shared. The tour was great! Highly recommend!
