Thousand Islands

by – Drew Walker, Tour Manager, USA
The Thousand Islands is a geographical spectacle thousands of years in the making. When the St. Lawrence River changed course 10,000 years ago, it changed an Ice Age debris plain into a fantastic river landscape dotted with literally thousands of small islands. Rich industrialists would build beautiful homes on these picturesque islands over 100 years ago. A Thousand Islands boat cruise is the perfect way to experience the natural beauty of the St. Lawrence as well as the architectural beauty of one of North America’s most unique neighborhoods.
Contiki Tours visit the Thousand Islands when traveling between Montreal and Toronto, Canada.

A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
If you have a high-def video camera, be sure to take it on a hike with you to the bottom of the canyon. HD is the only way to bring out the gorgeous contrast of blue sky and red rock that you'll want to show everyone at home.
My advice would be to do as many excursions as you can. They are a great way to get to know your group, and they are always good fun.
