THIS TOUR DEPARTS FROM THE US. This amazing tour will show you the 1000 Islands like no one else can! Board the Night Heron, our incredible glass-bottomed boat for an unparalleled view of underwater life in the clean waters of the St. Lawrence River. Experience nature as our naturalist narrators spot ospreys, eagles, blue heron, deer, muskrats, minks, and loons that inhabit the 1000 Islands. Hear the history, legends and lore of the islands we pass by and shipwrecks we pass over. Docking at Rock Island for one hour guests may climb to the top of the Lighthouse for a birds eye view of the surrounding St. Lawrence Seaway. Visit the Lighthouse keeper’s cottage which is now a museum and gift shop to learn the history of the lighthouse and keepers who kept the lights burning.

Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the boat tour? Is it chilly on the water?

A: I'd recommend wearing layers! The morning can be a bit chilly on the water, even in summer. A light jacket or hoodie is great to have, especially if you're sitting outside. Plus, don’t forget your sunglasses and sunscreen since you'll be outside for a bit while exploring Rock Island.

Q: Are there age limits for kids on this tour?

A: There's no strict age limit! Kids are welcome, and it's a great experience for families. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need a little extra supervision on the boat and during the climb to the lighthouse. They might really enjoy spotting wildlife with the naturalists on board!

Q: What if the weather is bad? Do they cancel or reschedule the tours?

A: They do have a cancellation policy for bad weather. If conditions are unsafe, they’ll cancel the tour and give you a chance to reschedule for another day. I recommend checking the weather forecast before you go, and it’s good to call them the morning of if you’re unsure!

Just got back from the Glass Bottom Boat Tour and it was amazing!

I took the St Lawrence River - Rock Island Lighthouse tour last weekend and wow, what a view! The glass-bottom boat is so cool; we saw tons of fish and even a few deer on the islands. The naturalist was super informative and told us all these cool stories about the shipwrecks. Climbing the lighthouse was a bit of a workout, but totally worth it for the view! I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a fun outing or a unique gift.

Thinking of gifting the Glass Bottom Boat Tour to my parents!

My parents are always looking for fun things to do outdoors, and I think they’d love this boat tour. The chance to see wildlife and climb the lighthouse sounds perfect. Just wondering if it's worth the price?
