Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Thousand Islands cruise? Is it windy on the water?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly out on the water, especially when the wind picks up. I went in early September and had a light jacket, which was perfect. Also, comfy shoes are a must if you plan on exploring the Erie Canal Museum afterwards!

Q: Can I take kids on this tour? What's the age limit?

A: Yes, kids are absolutely welcome! There’s no specific age limit. Many families bring their children along, and it's such a fun experience for them. Just keep in mind to supervise them during the cruise since it can get a bit crowded.

Q: What’s the parking situation like at the starting point in Clayton?

A: There’s plenty of parking in Clayton, but it can fill up during peak tourist season. I recommend getting there a bit early. The parking is usually free, which is a plus! There are also some nearby lots if the streets are full.

Thinking of gifting the Thousand Islands tour - Anyone done this?

I’m looking to surprise my parents with the Thousand Islands tour from NY. They love history and nature, so it seems perfect! I saw that you can add on the Erie Canal Museum tickets too. Is the museum worth it? Just worried about them being able to handle the cruise since they’re in their 70s. Any tips?

Just got back from the Thousand Islands tour, and wow!

I recently did the Thousand Islands and Erie Canal Museum tour, and it was amazing! The scenery is breathtaking, especially the private islands. The guide was super knowledgeable, which made the history lesson fun. I'd suggest bringing a camera! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the museum too. Highly recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves nature or history!
