KAYAKING

The 1000 Islands is a very fine place to kayak, offering beauty and variety for kayakers of all levels. Small channels, rocky shores and broad vistas allow for different possibilities at your own pace.

Guests may arrange for a kayak tour of the area. The tour and it's length will depend on the ability of the kayakers, their interest in the natural history and culture of the River, and the weather.
We can accompany kaykers who bring their own boat, on a tour of the area. We also have a number of kayaks for tourers to use during guided daytrips.

An excellent lunch and dinner may be provided as well, en route amongst the islands and at the Amaryllis.

The Houseboat AMARYLLIS and the islands are different, unique. It can be a romantic change of pace and place for a couple... You may want to be married at sea, or have your vows reaffirmed on a St. Lawrence skiff, by a Licensed Captain ~ your host Pieter Bergen. You may also receive a certificate to this effect. Though this will not necessairly stand in a court, it could prove to be a fun experience!
