Saint Lawrence River & Thousand Islands

The Saint Lawrence River & Thousand Islands

Tuesday, July 8 – Friday, July 11

The Thousand Islands Region encompasses both the US and Canadian sides of the Saint Lawrence River and the eastern shores of Lake Ontario, taking its name from the more than 1,000 Islands that dot the lake and river along this international waterway. 

DAY 1 – We’ll travel to the Four-Diamond luxury Thousand Islands Harbor Hotel, which sits on the banks of the picturesque Saint Lawrence River in Clayton, NY.  You’ll love the location and amenities of this hotel – outdoors, there is the Riverside Patio with a firepit that offers spectacular views of the river, and the Clayton Riverwalk, a walkway along the edge of the river that connects the hotel to area shops, restaurants and attractions. Rooms are spacious, and feature wood floors, deluxe bedding, luxury bathrooms, and nautical-themed accessories.  There are two restaurants, the Seaway Grill & the Riverside Patio – a great place to relax, enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset and the ships cruise by!  (D) 

DAY 2 - We’ll take a two-nation sightseeing cruise with Uncle Sam Boat Tours, the 2 ½ hour cruise departs from Alexandria Bay and tours the heart of the 1000 Islands, offering up-close views of both the Canadian and American sections of the Thousand Islands.  Your guide will tell you about the history of the river and islands, and the magnificent homes that dot the shoreline.  We’ll stop at Heart Island to tour Boldt Castle and learn about the ill-fated history of the island.  Enjoy time for lunch in Alexandria Bay before we enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of Coyote Moon Vineyard, one of the most award-winning wineries in New York State with over 1000 awards from wine competitions across the country.  We’ll taste six of their wines and take home a souvenir wine glass. (B)  

DAY 3 – Enjoy the day at leisure.  Relax at the hotel, walk downtown to visit the shops, the Thousand Islands Museum, the farmers market in Village Park Circle, the famous 1,000 Islands “River Rat” Cheese Store, or visit the Antique Boat Museum, home of the largest collection of freshwater boats in North America.  (B)  

DAY 4 – We’ll visit Old Macdonald’s Farm in Sacket’s Harbor. You’ll enjoy a scenic wagon ride through their farm, take a quick train ride to the calf barns & facilities, and visit their gift shop. After lunch on your own at their café, we’ll be treated to an ‘ice cream flight’ and you’ll get to sample a few flavors of their delicious home-made ice cream! Then, we’ll travel back to the Cape.
