We started early in the morning as it took us about 3 and ½ hour to reach the boat starting point. There are many lines for the 1000 island tour. But we took the Gananoque Boat line and our starting point was Ivy Lea camp ground. The Gananoque boat line has different sightseeing cruises. We picked up the Landmarks of the 1000 island cruise as it maximized the whole tour and even surrounded the Boldt Castle. Our ticket fare was 26.35/Adult and child under 5 is free. The link of the Gananoque boatline is https://ganboatline.com/cruises-schedules/sightseeing-cruises/landmarks-of-the-1000-islands-cruise/.
After reaching our destination we waited for our boat to depart. Meanwhile we took some great photos of the surrounding. At 12 noon we started off through the blue St. Lawrence river. The cruise went past the Zavikon Islands containing the smallest bridge of the in the World, then we also past across the statue of St. Lawrence who is watching peacefully over the moving vessels.
The expensive houses at the islands were something to look for. I heard the US presidents and many Hollywood actors have their house in here. Then lastly we reached the huge Boldt castle. If you have an American visa then you can land on the castle Island and explore it for about an hour. The whole Island consists of the castle which was very majestic even from the boat. I plan to go there again just to land on the castle after I have my visa.
All the cruise have a roof deck and an inner deck with some food and beverage options on cost. The outer deck is very windy even in a sunny day but best if you do not want to miss out anything. The usual general cruise will take 1 hour. But there are some cruise with dining options also which will take more than 1 hour. So plan ahead before coming according to your interest and budget to have the most of your experience. Till next time, happy travelling everyone.
