1000 Islands & Seaway Cruises






A Magical 90-Minute Journey Through the 1000 Islands We recently enjoyed a 90-minute cruise through the breathtaking 1000 Islands, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. Aboard the boat, we explored the stunning beauty of the St. Lawrence River—a waterway filled with history, charm, and natural wonder. The cruise provided panoramic views of the region’s iconic small islands, each with its own story and personality. Our guide was both knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating details about the area’s history, wildlife, and the luxurious summer homes scattered throughout the landscape—some sitting on islands barely large enough to hold them! The gentle rhythm of the water, the fresh breeze, and the ever-changing scenery made every moment aboard feel truly magical. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning for another adventure, this 1000 Islands cruise is a must. It’s the perfect way to experience the beauty of the St. Lawrence from a new and unforgettable perspective.

Did a ninety minute cruise around the Islands. Very enjoyable with a great insight into how the other half live in their waterfront mansions. The distinctive architecture and personality of each house along the Seaway is worth a look. Surprisingly, there's more marine life to be seen than we'd expected. The boat we used Sea Fox 2, is rather old and cramped and the narration of the tour is pre-recorded and bilingual, so not attention-grabbing. The staff are nice.
we went on this tour and it began in the middle of a storm surrounding us which was beautiful to photograph. We got to see a big ship go by and experience how strong the waves from these ships are and how well the captain of the boat handled the waves. We loved this adventure. I understand the need for using a recording to explain the tour, it was relaxing and enjoyable. we had a nervous person with us who requested a lifejacket, and they happily provided one.
We had a wonderful experience in Gananoque. From everything to the hotel, food, cruise, travel, and community(very small) were amazing! We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express - very clean, friendly staff, and breakfast was epic. We did a 2-hour cruise, so much history behind those islands, it was magical. Our daughter had the time of her life. We're going back!!
