Things to do in Kingston

The Thousand Islands consist of over a thousand islands, with well-preserved natural ecology. The seawater has excellent visibility, allowing for underwater reef views during boat tours. The air is rich in negative ions, making it very comfortable and much fresher than the city.

Kingston used to be the capital of Canada. We stayed here for one night. The town is small but clean and tidy. It is built along Lake Ontario, so the scenery is also beautiful. The town hall in the center of the town is also relatively low-key. Compared with the town halls of many European and American metropolises, this building is much less luxurious. Opposite the town hall is a fountain and a locomotive model, and opposite is the shore of Lake Ontario.

Kingston is a two-hour drive from Ottawa. I was tired of visiting Montreal and taking photos of Notre Dame Cathedral. It became necessary to choose another city to check in. Kingston, which has Queen's University, a well-known Canadian university, naturally became the first choice.

First time here, our guide was great, unfortunately we forgot his name. He answered all our questions and didn't rush us. At the end of the tour you can walk around on your own and explore.

There is a boat that can take you around Thousand Islands, but 2 hours is too long, so it is best to take a 1-hour tour. You can see all the nice villas.

I participated in a 90-minute tour, with a very detailed explanation from the guide. The ship wasn't very big, but it contained a lot of interesting information, and there were many rooms to visit.
