1000 Islands Helicopter Tours
Fort Henry was built from 1832 to 1837 to replace an existing fortification from the
War of 1812 era. Situated atop Point Henry, the Fort protected the naval dockyard at
Point Frederick, the entrance of the Rideau Canal and the town of Kingston, which
was the major transhipment point along the supply route between Montréal or
Ottawa and all points west. Today, Fort Henry continues its role as a museum and
historic site to residents of Kingston and visitors from all around the world. Once
inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life:
experience guided tours, scenic views, heart-pounding musical performances and
precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard – a highly disciplined
group of university student recruits trained as British soldiers from 1867. 1000 Islands Helicopter Tours offer the most spectacular views with six unique
tours. Feel the excitement as you lift off and fly away on a journey of a lifetime.
Become mesmerized by the richness and beauty of the 1000 Islands only seen from
the air. Experience a private and intimate setting in the helicopter with personal
narration of the region by the pilot. The magnificent sights are a perfect photographic
opportunity, so cameras are a must for each flight!
