We booked the extended tour, to allow me to soak in as much as we could. At just over $70/pp for 2.5 hr tour, it's a steal. Our tour guide, Josh, was epic. Very upfront and knowledgable and funny! He was very honest at the beginning on the tour (and unfortunately had to reiterate and be a little firmer during the tour itself) regarding questions about current Federal inmates. Essentially a) that it is against the privacy act to discuss those inmates and b) he won't discuss them, out of respect for the victims and their families. More than fair and honourable. I'm as interested as the next person in Bernardo, McArthur, Williams and others, but knew going into this tour it wasn't a tour about serial killers and I didn't expect much, if any, info regarding them. If that's why you're going, don't waste your time. The tour is very respectful of the victims and their families. The actual tour is amazing. Josh was very knowledgeable, sharing stories in almost every area of the prison of things gone on there. He shared his own ghost story from working at the Pen. The architecture is beautiful. The roof in one of the shops is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen. The Pen is getting old and it's showing it's age. But it's definitely worth the tour, if just for the history and architecture. Only con- End of season, so I wasn't able to get my size in the gift shop

I was still a tad leery when I got on the boat (which was a pontoon boat, as it was going to be a little more stable per the captain). I felt bad cuz I know hubby really liked the older "antique" boat but he was happy as I made it through the tour without even feeling queasy. Huge win for us both! (and probably a win for the captain as well, lol) The tour was incredible - Captain Ed knew so much history of the islands and we feel that we got a better experience than the mass public tour boat that was going around with a the loud speaker. If ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to book again with Captain Ed!

She came Again with a more aggressive tone you're in my space ... lol... there's no assigned seats however their belongings were there so I respected that and moved behind them. Clearly no one was in those seats that's why ,me as an individual went over to have a better view . our tour guide pointed out everything on the left were the attractions were So here I'm enjoying my tour when this lady ...lack of better choices of words comes over and starts to say you're in my place. No honey I'm not!! I moved just to avoid confrontation being she was already rude and disrespectful!!! My guy overheard this encounter and became annoyed. She then stomped off all huffing and puffing goes to the captain . He comes over and without and conversation threatens turn the boat around and kick us out . Like dude being a responsible individual you're going to have a conversation based on both side!!! But noooo you're as racist as this blond 2ft 1" racist troll Well it was definitely a one sided encounter for sure!! It was pretty sad that I told the crew members look at the video and go from there. The fact that the captain never asked what transpired says a lot about his mannerisms also. He and his reflective piece of cheap sunglasses didn't choose to adhere to both sides of situations . Sad but true!! However the gentleman who was part of the crew took the time to listen to what happened I do compliment him you're awesome....thank you!!

Hearing info about the 1000 was cool. The prices for the boat tours seems pretty affordable. There are washrooms onboard. Also, there was snacks and drinks have similar prices to concert and events food and drinks. For the 3 hour tour We took a morning tour. It was not very busy so there's a lot of space to move around. The most popular spot was the very front (bottom level). It's calm though it might be a little long for some. For the 5 hour tour: We took an afternoon/evening tour. Despite how busy it is, it was cool to visit and step foot on Boldt Island. Also, make sure you know which boat you were on as there will be multiple tour boats from other companies in the area. The Island and Castle were larger than I thought. The achitecture and interior were gorgeous and impressive. From what I remember, I think the gift shop accepts both currencies.

In particular, we wanted to go on the 2.5 Hour boat tour and loved the beauty, history and the locals enjoying the water too! The second portion was visiting the Famous Heart Island where George C. Boldt, millionaire proprietor of the world famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, set out to build a full size rhineland castle in Alexandria Bay, on picturesque Heart Island.  The grandiose structure was to be a display of his love for his wife, Louise. The structures on the island were amazing! I personally LOVE architecture and history so this was a fantastic experience! Had it been Pre-Covid times, we would have been able to disembark from the boat and explored the island, as the Americans were doing. But because it is technically on the American side of the St Lawrence River, and because of the pandemic, we could only admire it from afar. We can't wait for warmer weather so we can go back and visit!
