Smaller boat, but great tour guide and great atmosphere. We would have loved additional 30–60 minutes at Bolt Castle:)

We absolutely loved thousand islands,the light house and the Boldt castle. Our tour guide Liam was incredible! So much information shared in an entertaining manner. Our captain was fun too. The lunch was just right and fresh! Highly recommend!!

The boat ride and tours ran nearly 5 hours. Basically a full afternoon and included a nice bag lunch.
The tour guide on the boat was very informative and interesting during the period on the boat
The self guided touring of Boldt Castle was exceptional and really required the 2+ hours we had to spend there.
The park service staff on Rock Island really humanized the Rock Island Lighthouse history and very interesting and informative small group tour up into the top of the lighthouse.
