Frequently Asked Questions

Is the boat cruise included?

No, it's optional and paid on-site in Kingston, though most travelers add it since it's the highlight of the day.

Is this a long day?

Yes — Kingston is farther from Toronto than our other day trips, so pickup is early and return is in the evening.

Is Fort Henry included?

No, admission is optional; the fort is visible from Kingston's waterfront either way.
