Wolfe Island Thousand Islands Travel Guide | Ferry from Kingston Ontario Canada. Today we've got an exciting afternoon trip that we're going to be taking. We're going to Wolfe Island, which is just off of Kingston. We're going to be taking a ferry. The best part about it is that it is free. We're just going to be having a really cool time over there. We're planning on doing a lot of walking just wandering around to get away from the city for a little while.

The ferry runs daily throughout the year starting at 5:45 am with a final run at 2 AM. As the largest of the world-renowned Thousand Islands, the 29 kilometer long Wolfe Island is situated at the entrance of the Saint Lawrence River in Lake Ontario. We're out here on Wolfe Island and it is a Friday afternoon and the streets are pretty empty. We've just been driving around the island and pulling over whenever we see something interesting. We just found some cows over here in a field so we're photographing them. Yeah. This is the kind of cute little island where you'll enjoy the slower pace of life, farmland, windmills, beaches and other recreational activities. We are here at the ferry terminal and this must be the smallest border inspection area I've ever seen. For those with time to spare, you can cross over to the United States via ferry from Wolfe Island to Cape Vincent, New York with frequent daily routes between May to October. This is awesome. I've never been so close to a windmill before. Other attractions on Wolfe Island include a corn maze, bicycle routes, a golf course and country roads. What are you doing? We stopped for a little ice cream break. I'm having black cherry and strawberry and this is what you're having. And you've got it in your hand. It look gross. Are you going to eat it? It looks gross. Yeah. Rude. With time to spare before we caught our Ferry back to Kingston, we enjoyed eating ice cream, tanning and walking out on the pier. Our time went by so quickly and before we knew it we were boarding the ferry again. Along the way you'll spot wildlife, pass various other boats and have a great view of the Royal Military College of Canada campus. If you're visiting Kingston, Wolfe Island is a perfect little day trip -- especially during the summer months. We enjoyed a nice family outing and we hope to back again soon. This is part of our Travel in Canada series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Canadian culture, Canadian arts, Canadian foods, Canadian religion and Canadian people.
