Overview
Come on board City Cruises from Gananoque and join us on a one-hour cruise taking you closer to the scenery than any other cruise available in the 1000 Islands. Referred to by the Iroquois Nation as the “Garden of the Great Spirit,” the tranquility of the area belies a history of adventures, wars, and rebellions. See fifth and sixth-generation family cottages. Cruise the narrow channels of the Admiralty and Navy group of islands in the most intimate tour the 1000 Islands has to offer. Gananoque is the gateway to the 1000 Islands, located approximately 3 hours from Toronto, two hours from Ottawa, and three hours from Montreal.
