  2. Boldt Castle and Thousand Islands tour from Clayton, Clayton2

    2. Boldt Castle and Thousand Islands tour from Clayton

    4.7· 792 reviews· 3.5 hours

    Two hours by boat — explore the Thousand Islands, view Boldt Castle, and learn about local history from expert guides.

    During our visit to friends near Clayton in NY, we chose this boat and castle tour after considering several options that fit our needs at a good price. The boat guide was excellent, sharing plenty of knowledge about the region along with entertaining anecdotes. I recommend sitting near the guide since the sounds from the river and boat can sometimes make it difficult to hear. The castle tour was enjoyable as well, and I appreciated the availability of a golf cart for those with mobility challenges, plus an elevator inside the castle.claudiahY1635ND
