The staff were very friendly. The captain and guide were very knowledgeable resulting in an memorable experience. Time at the main attractions was just long enough that we didn't need to rush to see anything. Being on a smaller boat than many of the cruise ships in the area made the trip seem more personal. All in all I would give the Clayton Island Boat tour an A-Plus.

Both the skipper and the tour guide Liam were very knowledgeable and entertaining. My friend and I really enjoyed the experience.

Lester_G

I love the beauty of islands in all sizes and shapes up close. The Rock lighthouse tour was extraordinary with Peter as narrator to tell the interesting stories and history. The whole tour can be a little shorter. Instead of 5 hours, 4 will be more efficient.

Todd_H

Wonderful boat tour, plenty of time at the castle and rock island. Lunch was good and the captain and guide were very knowledgeable

Excellent tour! Would recommend 1000 island tour inclusive if Rock Island Lighthouse and Heart Island Boldt Castle. Well worth it!

Small group. Knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Expert pleasant captain. We enjoyed the relaxed pace, the freedom to eat our picnic lunches whenever we wanted and to roam the islands as we chose. Friends who live in the area say that of the boat tours options, Clayton Islands Tours are the ones they bring their out of town visitors to. Seeing the crowded other tour boats on the River, we understand why this is their favorite. We were initially concerned that a 5.5hour tour would be too long but it was just right.

Brad and captain Skip made our tour very memorable with all the facts and pictures from the past. their knowledge about the history was excellent.

Wonderful tour! We learned so much area history on this tour. Beautiful views along the river, plenty of time on and off the boat to see everything. Food was great. We came early and got food from the on site food truck and watched the geese, swans and ducks before the tour started. Very enjoyable day! We are thinking of doing another tour with this company.

Amy_G

Just a beautiful day on the water! Tour guide Brad and the Captain Chuck were the absolute best. Loved that they called to see what my lunch choice was, felt like my Mom made it ❤️. Well worth the money would highly recommend!
