Clayton Island Tours

About

Clayton Island Tours runs narrated boat tours of the Thousand Islands from Chateau Lane in Clayton, using boats that carry 43 to 65 passengers. Tours pass Great Lakes freighters, lighthouses, island homes and the American span of the Thousand Islands International Bridge. The Boldt Castle and Two Nation Tour stops on Heart Island, and a glass-bottom boat called the Night Heron runs trips to Rock Island Lighthouse. The company also runs private charters, weddings and motorcoach group tours.
