Join us for a delightful one-day bus tour from Toronto to the breathtaking 1000 Islands Region, where history, stunning scenery, and a touch of romance come together on the sparkling waters of the St. Lawrence River. This trip features the all-new Two Castle Cruise, a spectacular 2-hour and 15-minute journey that brings you up close to two of the area’s most fascinating landmarks—Boldt Castle and Singer Castle—without ever needing a passport!

As we set sail through the maze of islands, we'll cruise to Boldt Castle, an extravagant tribute to undying love, built by millionaire George C. Boldt for his beloved wife, Louise. Then, we glide by the mysterious Singer Castle, a grand estate commissioned by Frederick Bourne of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, full of hidden passageways and captivating tales of the Gilded Age. Since our boat does not dock at either island, we stay on the Canadian side of the border, meaning there’s no need for a passport—just a love for adventure and beautiful scenery.

We stop at The Big Apple on our way to the 1000 Islands for a chance to get something to eat and do some yummy shopping too! We also stop at a highway travel plaza on our return towards Toronto for a dinner break.

This tour is a perfect mix of relaxation, sightseeing, and a touch of history. Whether you're a castle enthusiast, a nature lover, or just looking for a fun escape from the city, this is one trip you won’t want to miss. Climb aboard and get ready for an unforgettable day in the heart of the 1000 Islands!
