Nice way to see the area - A nice way to spend the hour seeing the 1000 islands by the water. It was a smooth ride on a beautiful day. Wish we could have heard the commentator better about the history of the area. They did it in English , French and Japanese. Would definitely recommend it

Pleasant cruise - Very nice cruise in the 1000 islands area, seen right away, so no boring sailing starting from other more distant locations. We did it on a beautiful sunny day, very relaxing and importantly, lasts the right time, about 1 hour. Recommendation

Superb family cruise, a magical moment - Beautiful cruise... we did the cruise at 9am, there were barely 20 of us in the boat it was great... we could move as we wanted and hear the explanations throughout the cruise. The explanations are clear in English and French. We could see a lot in 1 hour and went around very close to the island of Boldt. The staff is very friendly. Free parking is available on site. I highly recommend this company...

Very Positive Experience - Love the Narrative from presumably Mr. Boldt (Castle). Impressive stats on the building of Canadian/US Bridge. Very nice that you also had translation narrative for the bus tours. It would be better if the outside speakers were louder as wind is always a factor. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety of indoor & outdoor seating. It was a beautiful balmy day, great cruise weather. ThanQ
