    Review summary

    4.7
    Excellent
    1.4K reviews•Google Maps

    Clayton Island Tours operates small, intimate boats that create a notably personal atmosphere compared to larger tour vessels. Guides like Michel, Chris, and Rob consistently earn praise for their deep local knowledge and engaging storytelling that goes beyond scripted commentary. They share little-known facts about the islands, properties, and area history, with many reviewers highlighting how informative and entertaining the experience was. Tours include popular stops like Boldt Castle and Rock Island Lighthouse, with plenty of time to explore. The overwhelming majority of guests loved their experience, though a couple of recent reviews point to some inconsistency. One group struggled with poor audio quality on a windy day and felt the guide handled their difficulty hearing unprofessionally. A wine cruise departure also had organizational issues with seating arrangements and missing amenities. These seem like isolated incidents rather than patterns, but they're worth noting. Overall, the company has built a strong reputation for knowledgeable guides, smooth boat rides, and that coveted small-group feel that makes the tour memorable.

    They offer different boat tours that aren't scripted. Learn some little known facts and local stories while enjoying the views on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Visit Rock Island Lighthouse, Boltd Castle or a bay where Native Americans used to fish. Keep an eye out for ships. You may also see a bird you've never seen before. If you stay at the inn, you get a free boat tour if you stay a certain number of nights.
