De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

Cute town to visit but not much there. Most restaurants were closed. beautiful area to stop by briefly. We were on way back from Toronto. There were no tours available when we got there on a sunday afternoon. which was strange that this is considered a tourist town Don't plan an entire weekend here.

The 1000 Islands region is an absolutely gorgeous area of the river. It’s dotted with pretty islands & an eclectic mix of charming little cottages, massive summer homes, Boldt Castle, & more. Enjoy a laidback getaway with scenic cruising, recreation on the water, wineries, etc. Plan ahead for where to stay. There are some resorts, campgrounds, & appealing Airbnbs with river views & access.

Alexandria Bay is a great place. WE love less than three hours away and never went before; we will go again soon. We took a dozen photos on our weekend trip and everyone had water and boats in it.

Our original plans were to go kayaking in the Thousand Islands in the morning and visit Boldt Castle in the afternoon.
The weather report had been promising, but changed suddenly just before we left to rainy, with poor air quality from the Canadian wildfires.
Since we already had hotel reservations in Kingston, Ontario, to be able to get to Gananoque for an 8:30 kayak session on a Monday morning, we started out from Toronto Sunday afternoon for the three hour drive; there is a lot of construction on the roads and we were tied up in Toronto traffic almost three quarters of an hour.
We had not actually made the kayak reservations, so when we got to Kingston and read the weather reports, we decided not to get up at the break of dawn and instead to eat a leisurely breakfast and cross the American border and take the Uncle Sam's two hour tour of the Thousand Islands, which has a stop at Boldt Castle.
One cannot drive to Boldt Castle. It is only accessible by boat.
Uncle Sam's Boat Tours is headquartered in Alexandria Bay, New York.
It costs $12 for the shuttle to Boldt Castle, which leaves every half hour, or just about double that to add on the two hour boat tour. Parking is free in the Uncle Sam's lot.
The Thousand Island tour is very informative and takes you to both the American and Canadian sides of the Thousand Islands.
Still, seeing the Thousand Islands from a guided kayak tour is more exciting.
We hope to come back in better weather.

My husband and I went to Thousand Islands for a fall getaway on October 17th. The area is beautiful and we stayed at the Riveredge Resort, Alexandria Bay, which was also very nice. The room was great and the view overlooking Boldt Castle was wonderful. However, much to our disappointment, in researching the trip and attractions and restaurants, we did not see anything that mentioned that after Columbus Day nearly every attraction and restaurant close for the season. We were so disappointed to learn we were not able to visit Boldt Castel, even though we could see if from our room, because of the closure. The Uncle Sam Boat Tours was still running under a much reduced schedule. We were able to do the 2 hour tour which was very nice and I would recommend. The fact that most of the restaurants in the town of Alexandria Bay were closed was also a disappointment. I think this should be noted so that people realize that going after Columbus Day is not really worth the trip. One person said I should have researched better, however, I explained that I would be standing in front of a restaurant that on their website still stated OPEN but was closed for the season. Just wish the websites were updated with the information of everything being limited after Columbus Day. I would have rated this trip higher except for the limited availability of the attractions.

We spent a Thurs-Sun long weekend. Brought our own boat and spent much of our time on the water. Stayed in Alexandria Bay but went abt. 10 miles in either direction, down to Clayton and up as far as Singer Castle. So much to see and do! If you have a boat, definitely bring it. Even without it, there's shops and restaurants and events. We were just off the summer season so it was less busy (we live neat Lake George, NY and know what "the season" s like!) but still very lively.

Thousand Islands is a beautiful area on the St. Lawrence Seaway. There is so much to see, and the area is very relaxing. One may take a boat tour, charter a boat, or bring their own boat to explore the islands and river. There are so many gorgeous homes on both Canadian and U.S. sides of the seaway. One could spend hours or days out on the river.

Spent a couple of days here before heading to the Finger lakes. Did a boat tour, visited Boldt Castle and hit the Sacket Harbor Battlefield. All in all an enjoyable two days.

The four circle rating pertains to the 1000 Islands themselves. 1000 Islands Scenic Tours was exceptional, ••••• + Aside from water sports, which, after summer ends, also end, there isn't much more to do.
So happy that my husband decided to book a private boat tour of the 1000 Islands in Alexandria Bay, NY. The bay is part of the St. Lawrence River between Canada and the US.
Ed Peters is the Captain who picked us up in his pontoon boat. He was extremely knowledgeable about both the history of the islands and the history of those old mansions that still remain. I say still remain because during the 100+ years since the mansions were built they have been passed down to family members. But the taxes and cost of upkeep of the mansions caused many of the descendants to abandon the mansions which were eventually torn down.
One word of advice, bring a form of ID with you. I left my ID back at the hotel. I didn't that we would be crossing the border and entering Canadian waters. Before we knew it we had the RCMP border patrol pulling up to the boat. They were really nice and were content to take our husbands' ID's to run a check.
I highly recommend Capt. Peters' tour.

Hi - We are thinking of heading to Alexandria Bay. Just myself and my husband and our dog. Do you think that is a nice area to stay? We have never been. Also, are there any breweries close to this area??
Thanks!

I’m not sure about breweries in the area. There might be some farther down near Syracuse or Watertown.
Alex Bay in the Thousand Island area is absolutely stunning. Depending on the time of year it might be crowded before Labor Day. But after, if you’re looking for a hotel I’m sure you’ll be able to find one. But there are plenty of houses for rent, B&Bs etc.
One of my favorite areas in the East!
Is there anywhere we can rent a golf cart or motorized scooter? I want to bring my dad but he can't walk long distances.

Sorry, I have never been to London. Trip Advisor sent me your question because I recently went to Thousand Islands. Someone goofed.
Hi John, by chance do you know how long it takes to drive from Ontario Canada to Alexandria Bay where you pick up the Uncle Sams tour boat? Thanks so much!
Best, Connie

Hi would you be able to tell me if there are any arrangements to spend a day or two for a family of three (including an elderly person) on of the islands on the USA side? Are there any resorts or places that can be rented? Is it safe and what arrangements are there for tackling any emergencies that may occur?

One thing I can say is there were a lot of older retirees there when we went
So .... that may mean there is a good emergency system in place

Is it nice to see in the fall when trees change? Are all the attractions and boat tours still operating.

Upper NY State and Ontario are beautiful in fall due to the variety of trees. Tours are still running into the fall. While I have not seen the islands in fall I have seen the foliage and can predict the sight will be worth the trip and time.

Hi. We are interested in visiting Thousand Islands over Labor Day weekend with our 9 year old daughter and are wondering if its best to rent an RV or a room in a hotel? The experience will be very different depending on what we decide. Do you know if there are nice full service campsites with showers? Also, if you don't have a boat, can you still get around easily? In an RV? Where would you recommend staying? Thanks in advance for your help.

To get around to the different islands, since many are privately owned, most do a boat tour through a tour company like Uncle Sam's so you can see either Boldt Castle, Singer castle and go through Millionaire's Row to go past the expensive privately owned houses on islands. Everything else is on the shore like restaurants, shops, zoo, museums, stock car races, etc. Alexandria bay in the main land is very drivable and has most restaurants and shops that you would want to see. Grassy Point State Park and Keewaydin State Park is in Alexandria Bay (It's a NY State park) and has camp sites available. You would need to call for fees and amenities. When we were there last it was clean, had a kids playground, a very small beach and restrooms/showers available but its been awhile so you should call. It's also nearby to historic Clayton that has an antique boat museum and some more shops/restaurants.

Hi, What would you like to know about this attraction?
Hi,
I'm single and not outdoorsy but I've wanted to visit the islands for a while. Which island do you think is best for someone like me who is more interested in walking around, boat tours, shopping and wave watching? Hotel recommendations appreciated. Thank you!
