Combine your tour with a Bed & Breakfast overnight, on a private island, aboard the Houseboat AMARYLLIS!

The 100 ft. long, double-deck houseboat Amaryllis is located on its own island in the middle of the 1000 Islands region. Originally built in 1911 as a private summer residence, it is somewhat rustic and has a unique atmosphere of comfort and elegance.
