I was still a tad leery when I got on the boat (which was a pontoon boat, as it was going to be a little more stable per the captain). I felt bad cuz I know hubby really liked the older "antique" boat but he was happy as I made it through the tour without even feeling queasy. Huge win for us both! (and probably a win for the captain as well, lol) The tour was incredible - Captain Ed knew so much history of the islands and we feel that we got a better experience than the mass public tour boat that was going around with a the loud speaker. If ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to book again with Captain Ed!

Clearly no one was in those seats that's why ,me as an individual went over to have a better view . our tour guide pointed out everything on the left were the attractions were So here I'm enjoying my tour when this lady ...lack of better choices of words comes over and starts to say you're in my place. No honey I'm not!! I moved just to avoid confrontation being she was already rude and disrespectful!!! My guy overheard this encounter and became annoyed. She then stomped off all huffing and puffing goes to the captain . He comes over and without and conversation threatens turn the boat around and kick us out . Like dude being a responsible individual you're going to have a conversation based on both side!!! But noooo you're as racist as this blond 2ft 1" racist troll Well it was definitely a one sided encounter for sure!! It was pretty sad that I told the crew members look at the video and go from there. The fact that the captain never asked what transpired says a lot about his mannerisms also. He and his reflective piece of cheap sunglasses didn't choose to adhere to both sides of situations . Sad but true!! However the gentleman who was part of the crew took the time to listen to what happened I do compliment him you're awesome....thank you!!

When the package arrived in Florida, UPS made an error and sent it back to the winery. That's when Patty at Thousand Islands Winery became a true Christmas angel.

Her kindness and dedication turned a stressful situation into a wonderful experience. Thanks to Patty, Thousand Islands Winery has now made a big splash in Florida too.

As we left the dock and headed out into the SENECA River, Annette gave us a history of the Erie ( now called "Barge") canal. Our captain contributed a few stories to make it even more interesting. As we glided down the River on our pontoon boat, we saw sea birds both at the rivers edge and in flight. As we got ready to go through the Baldwinsville lock, the lock tender gave us some info on the equipment. This is the oldest operating lock in the system. After going through the lock, we stopped and picked up lunch from a man working for the Angry Smokehouse. We had a delicious lunch on the return trip. The crew couldn't be more gracious and we had a blast. There is a bar on board the boat, which made trip even better! Check out the website for the list of tours available. The boat looks to be new and it is quite comfortable. I highly recommend this.

Any tourist destination that offers a bus or trolley tour must have something to boast about. And…read moreKingston is no exception. First-time sightseers like me to this beautiful university town of 125,000 at the confluence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence Seaway will want to get ready to hop-on, hop-off at any one of the eight trolley stops. I stepped-off at Fort Henry, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a quick visit to the strategic stronghold with a great view of Kingston, the Royal Military College of Canada and parts of Wolf Island. Unfortunately, my whirlwind tour of Kingston didn't allow me to take advantage of any other great stops like Canada's Penitentiary Museum or beautiful Kingston City Hall--those would have been my two first choices. Pick a stop, hop-off and head anywhere on foot in this very walkable community. But my limited time for a more focused day is why good narration is so important. The bright red trolleys are commanded by tour guides with expert knowledge of the town so you'll get all sorts of historical insight and factoids that leave you in-the-know. They also use pre-recorded narration for some tour segments with several popular foreign languages available via headset. My tour guide was a town native and part time jazz singer whose musical voice and pleasant style offered lively insight into, among others, "The Tragically Hip Way," the "Singing Bridge" as well as the colorful Sir Johnny MacDonald, a Scottish emigre to Kingston and Canada's first prime minister. She also provided an array of dining tips as we scooted down bustling Princess St. lined with period buildings. I was seated in a trolley that had two large open sides which allowed unobstructed photography. I really enjoyed this delightful tour and the price was right. Surface parking by the hour or day is available within easy walking distance. Restrooms are located in the basement of the ticket office that also doubles as a souvenir shop.

In particular, we wanted to go on the 2.5 Hour boat tour and loved the beauty, history and the locals enjoying the water too! The second portion was visiting the Famous Heart Island where George C. Boldt, millionaire proprietor of the world famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, set out to build a full size rhineland castle in Alexandria Bay, on picturesque Heart Island.  The grandiose structure was to be a display of his love for his wife, Louise. The structures on the island were amazing! I personally LOVE architecture and history so this was a fantastic experience! Had it been Pre-Covid times, we would have been able to disembark from the boat and explored the island, as the Americans were doing. But because it is technically on the American side of the St Lawrence River, and because of the pandemic, we could only admire it from afar. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can go back and visit!

The company states on their website of the following: "Join us on a 1-hour cruise taking you closer than any other cruise available in the 1000 Islands." Roughly six years ago my mother and I had the opportunity to visit the 1000 Islands through a traveling agency. I cannot recall the company we had used to sail the 1000 Islands, but I' am carefully assuming it was Rockport Cruises. I may be completely wrong. This summer my mother and I were excited to bring the rest of my family to explore the 1000 Islands. The rest of my family members have never been to the islands. My mother and I were completely unsatisfied with the tour and how Gananoque Boat Lines website descriptions were misleading. Rockport cruises took us closer than Gananoque Boat Lines to the 1000 Islands. Gananoque Boat Lines 1 hour cruise only goes around, and not into the heart of the 1000 Islands. I would strongly advise travelers to avoid the BEAUTY OF THE ISLANDS CRUISE. Such a shame.
