Our first time on a glass bottom boat. Very interesting and Matt slowed to allow us to see points of interest. The light house tour was very professional and informative. We opted to purchase the lunch. Food was excellent. We would book again if we are ever back in the area.

The tour guide was fun and informative! The boat was comfortable to travel in and while it was very windy, it was fairly pleasant on the boat. The lunch was nothing to write home about….skip the salad and order a sandwich. The inside of Boldt Castle was a bit of a disappointment after all the hype but the exterior and grounds were beautiful. The lighthouse was fun. It was open and available for climbing to the top. The folks giving the tour up in the lighthouse were very knowledgeable. Overall, I would do the cruise again.

Very informative and well worth our time and money. The walk down to the boat is gravel so wear decent shoes or sneakers. The speaker system was clear (not always the case on tour boats) and both the captain and guide were full of interesting facts about the Seaway and it’s history.

The professionalism and enthusiasm of the tour guide made it an even better experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

If you like lighthouses this is a great tour. My husband and I went on this tour to see the Rock Island lighthouse. Really enjoyed this trip.

The whole tour was great, very interesting and fun. It was great that we had a nice yummy lunch provided too! The guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of history and fun facts with us. Being able to stop and have time to explore the castle and the light house was wonderful as well. I would say this is a must do if you are visiting the area! I will definitely do it again when I come back!! Thank you for such a great experience!!

Tour was awesome! I really enjoyed the stop at the lighthouse! We got to see a lot of the St Lawrence river and relax on a rock on one of the islands for a half our or so in the perfect weather. The tour guides were great, we definitely plan to come back to the area sometime!
