Introducing 1000 Islands

In the ‘Garden of the Great Spirit’, the endless shorelines and majestic waterways of the Thousand Islands bear no hint of a darker past of pirates and prohibition bootleggers. Now dotted with a thousand waterfront villages to visit, sailboats and century-old lighthouses, the pleasures of relaxing on a scenic boat cruise are about as daring as it gets.

Unless of course, you venture under the surface. With crystal clear waters and an abundance of shipwrecks, the Thousand Islands are a scuba diver’s paradise. Steamers, schooners and ferries that met a watery end in its depths now make for some of the best fresh water scuba diving in the world. And that’s just one of the Thousand Islands’ outdoor adventures. Join one of the many Thousand Islands tours to enjoy even more.

Water Adventure.  In every sense.

The Thousand Islands are home to two vibrant cities that offer authentic island heritage to explore and Thousand Islands events to delight you.  Brockville is the gateway to scuba diving, and is also home to beautifully maintained historic buildings and gardens, waterfront walks, boutique inns and a laid back style that instantly relaxes its visitors. Gananoque is equally stunning. Enjoy its shops and galleries and be sure to take in a show at the Thousand Islands Playhouse, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

Drama.  In every sense.
