The Thousand Islands region spans both Canadian and American borders, so exercise caution when traveling amongst them.
Even though the islands act as stepping stones between the two countries, entry requirements still apply. It is illegal to go ashore without reporting to an immigration officer at a port-of-entry (even if it is unintentional), and doing so could have serious consequences -- including a fine, arrest, or removal from the U.S.
More information can be found from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website at www.cbp.gov. The department publishes a site for Reporting Requirements for Pleasure Boat Operators.
Also, you should note that Canadian boat tours make stops at Boldt Castle -- an American tourist attraction. If you wish to disembark, you will be subject to U.S. Customs & Immigration laws and will require necessary identification and documentation.
