Climb aboard the Night Heron, a glass-bottom boat, with Clayton Island Tours in Clayton for a unique and special Rock Island Lighthouse on a Glass Bottom Boat Tour, which includes a stop at Rock Island, home of Rock Island Lighthouse.

On the trip, marvel at the views below, including aquatic life, natural formations, and even the remains of shipwrecks and buildings that once sailed or stood amongst the 1000 Islands.

When you arrive at Rock Island, you’ll be treated to a different kind of view: the lighthouse boasts the distinction of being both located on an island and having the tower open for visitors to climb, and the panoramic views of the river and the nearby Thousand Islands Bridge are breathtaking. This is the only public boat tour that offers the chance to stop at Rock Island, and the glass-bottom boat adds to the unique experience.

The Rock Island Lighthouse on a Glass Bottom Boat Tour runs for 2 hours and 45 minutes and is offered from early May through Labor Day each summer.
