    Here's a look at our 1000 Islands Cruise on day 3 of our road trip... part 2 is coming soon! Stay tuned to see what we get up to on part 2 of our day in Ottawa, Ontario!

    So beautiful, I love that they had a narration that gave the history. We love learning about places when traveling. Those little homes are so so cute!

    Lovely views from the top deck of the cruise !! The sea scape dotted with the sailboats looked amazing !! Definitely worth it I guess !! 🤪

    Hey guys! 😀
    I always find the back of the boat clear. Not many people want to sit there due to motion/sea sickness so love the small win there!
    Stunning boat ride and scenes to compliment, not much to complain about here. Sounds like a very worth while trip 🤗
    thanks for sharing guys, glad we have come across your channel! 🤜🤛

      Thanks for watching! Yes it was a good find getting to sit at the back - much less crowded.

    I loved the look of Napoleon's Cabin! What a cool shaped little cottage. Looks like a really relaxing trip 🙂 I think I could happily do that for way longer than an hour!

    • @TheAverageTourist

      Yeah that was a cool cabin. And agree, an hour wasn't long enough.

      It was so fun. The scenery was nice, and I picked out my retirement cottage 😂

  • @RuthandThomas
    @RuthandThomas 4 роки тому +1

    Those cottages are amazing!! I like the one with the rounded roof. But seriously, I’m going to try to convince Ruth that a cottage in the 1000 islands is where we should retire! So beautiful.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah there are so many cute cottages there. I'd love to have my own island. But maybe not there in the winter... 🤣

    What a lovely cruise! I had no idea that is a criteria for an island to be considered an island. Good to know. 😊 The views are amazing...I love seeing all the sailboats. The weather was perfect! 🥰

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 роки тому

      Yeah we had perfect weather for the cruise. I had no idea about the island criteria either.

    This cruise looked like so much fun! I appreciated the island facts. It looked like a beautiful day. Although I would probably need the extra shade too!

    You picked a pretty day for travel. The scenery is beautiful. Alan is pretty creative (shade contraption). That's a lot of islands to see. The homes and cottages looked interesting. I hope you get to see more. Enjoy! Safe travels! :)

    • @TheAverageTourist

    Always great to get on a boat during summer, especially this summer. Hilarious to think pirates used to cruise a lake in between new York and ontario 😂 lol love the creative shade protector, may need to order one the Turkish summer sun is no joke! Definitely think we would have opted for the longer cruise it seemed like a great time!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 роки тому

      Well, I'm taking pre-orders for my new "shade" biz so... 😂 And yeah - the pirate thing was pretty cool.

    Sorry no salmon in that part of the St.Lawrence that I’ve ever seen. I’ve lived on St.Lawerence 1000 Islands for 20 years. Lots of Walleyes, and yes some of the biggest Muskies you’ll ever see.

    1,000 island cruise and it only last an hour. Expected it to be longer. Such a luxury to own one of these islands. I would love to go for some sailing there. Alan seems to be on the wrong side of the world with his shade creation. It is indeed not busy at all during the week.

    This is such a gorgeous part of Ontario. Gan is a lovely little tourist town, full of history. Looks like you got some great weather and views. The footage you got is just incredible. It's just a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. Oh ya and that Hobbit house is so cool! Greetings from Toronto looking forward to more videos friend.

  • @KatandDogs
    @KatandDogs 2 роки тому

    Impressive place! It's nice to even just have a look at it, but I like that some islands are open to the public and there is a possibility to spend more time there, especially if you are a sailboat owner, haha :)
