Excellent - It was a great trip and our narrator was awesome! He was very informative and pleasant. It was a little long but we had a good time. The boat was nice and clean comfortable. We were informed on both sides of the island.

Great tour for solo, couples, families. - We have taken numerous tours in the last 45 years. This year we tried a new one. We had young children (7-11), and seniors as well. One of our seniors has difficulty with stairs, they have a ramp they put down for her. This made it so everyone could go! We had 10 us for a birthday. The kids hide mini cupcakes and got the boat captain and first mate (guide) to sing and the kids passed out cupcakes to everyone who wanted them. They had a great time seeing all the islands and getting fairly close to a ‘Salty’. We heard different things about the islands and surrounding area we didn’t know and some of us still live here! We also got to see different sides of islands as we were on a smaller boat. This tour did not stop at Bolt Castle, but we got to go all the way around it very close to see it all. The kindness and knowledge of all the staff and crew was amazing. We can’t wait to try another tour from them! So many choices so little time! Until next year! Thank you Clayton Island Tours!

Beautiful vistas - Fantastic and beautiful scenery. Captain Matt 5 stars and his deck hand Liam was a great narrator. The bar and snacks are a nice touch. Very professional. Great team.

Great Day on the St. Lawrence - Such an incredible experience! Our tour guide Dennis was very knowledgeable with his commentary that pointed out sites while giving historical background. We were aboard the Osprey which is a large 50 passenger pontoon with a roof which allowed the breezes to blow through while keeping us shaded. Our tour included a boxed lunch which was ready to go as you boarded and could be eaten on board at your convenience. We loved Boldt castle and wished we had an additional 30-60 minutes as we were unable to see all the grounds and out building. Since we were in physical condition to climb to the top of the lighthouse, the tour was wonderful and views spectacular. I would highly recommend this tour with the Clayton Island Tours.

Beautiful and Educational cruise - We took the 11:30 boat cruise to Boldt Island and the Rock Island Lighthouse! What a beautiful day. Our guide was so interesting and knowledgeable about the area and our navigator was very experienced in navigating the river which in some spots was not an easy task. We had a reservation for the morning cruise, but because of the rainy weather it was cancelled. They asked if we would like to take the luncheon cruise instead as the weather was supposed to clear out. So glad we did! Thank you Clayton Island Tours for a very enjoyable and educational day!

Mostly a place to unwind and relax. - If you do not take a boat tour there is not much to see or do in and around Clayton 1000 Islands. Panaramic views of the river and islands are pretty much non existent as homes and trees block the view all along the highways. The downtown area consists of very few blocks congested with traffic with very little parking availability. Restaurants and food fare is very limited, with hamburgers the main options. Most of the disterillies were closed while we were there. Highlight of the visit was to drive about 7 miles north to The Gals ice cream stand.

Very disappointed with the boat staff. - The lighthouses and castles were great. The glass bottom boat was terrible you couldn't even see the water. The bottom of the boat was green like it hadn't been cleaned in years. I felt that I had been taken in from their advertising. (Other glass bottom boats are real, and you can see the water). The first mate on the boat was very rude. As we were heading back to the dock, he insinuated that we tip him. He was so demanding that I was irritated and will NEVER go with them again.
