Add 1,000 Thousand Islands Helicopter Tours to Your Bucket LIst! - The Boldt Castle and 1,000 Islands tour was, in a word, perfection. Here is what was so great about it:
- The operation is full-service, accommodating, and very well managed (with a safety first mentality).
- The staff members were cheerful and professional, the terminal was clean, and the grounds were well-maintained.
- The weather was sunny and windless, which made flying "smooth sailing."
- The safety briefing, which included entering and leaving the whirlybird as well as headphone usage, eased one's nerves.
- Pilot "Cool Hand" Phil was knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the islands while flying slow, smooth and steady, and close to the castle and islands for breathtaking vantage points (without disrupting life on the ground).
If you are ever in the Kingston/Toronto/Ottawa area, you should add this experience to your itinerary; it is definitely worth it!

One more off the Bucket List - This was our first helicopter ride and the experience was absolutely thrilling. Our host was very knowledgeable of the area and was eager to share as much information as possible.
Because of this adventure and such a positive experience, we are now planning a ride through the Grand Canyon

Helitour with magnificent views - In sunshine we experienced a flight with magnificent views of the islands and Boldt Castle. The colors of the river were impressive. I would definitely book a tour of 20-30 minutes to fly over Boldt Castle as well. We had a very nice pilot and can only recommend the tour. Contacting me by email from Germany did not work.

Worthwhile experience - We were booked for the following day but it was forecast to be cloudy, so we called in at their modern clean building and they fitted us in with only a twenty minute wait! Good clean washrooms, attentive staff and a wonderful ride. Lots of commentary from our reassuring pilot gave us background about the 1000 Islands. Definitely a worthwhile experience.
