Beautiful foliage scenery - In Autumn, the trip is awesome with foliage scenery all around you. It’s so beautiful with different colors of red, gold & green leaves mixing with cute houses on islands… but it’s cold. You should wear warm thick clothes.

A bit boring - The idea of taking a boat tour on the St. Lawrence River touring its archipelagos between Canada and the USA sounded exciting, but it ended up being a pretty monotonous and boring tour. They gave very few explanations of what was being seen, and the few they gave were practically not heard over a somewhat deficient public address. What we expected to be 1000 pristine islands turned out to be a lot of islets full of luxury mansions. Pretty disappointing. Boldt Castle is less spectacular than it looks in the photos, not to mention a “scam”, as it is simply a rather tacky castle built by a wealthy man in the early 20th century. Similarly, the supposed shortest inter-country bridge in the world, which is supposedly between two islands visited along the way, is also a false urban legend, since it is actually a bridge between two Canadian islets that the owner of them built to be able to pass from one to the other and that someone made up that story that has gone viral. The company does not let food or drink on board, to force you to drink at its bar.

My opinion - Cafeteria Castle Was thinking that you may rotate through different islands. But except the castle rounding, there weren’t not much exploration. Also was expecting a stop at the castle. But it didn't happen. Heard that for the 1h cruise they are doing that because the border security guards were seeking passengers passports those were waiting for 1h cruise.

Sightseeing at its longest - Although it's interesting to see the scenery of the thousand islands, the tour is by far too long. Thus, we understand it takes time to visit the places far away, but the tour could be shortened.
