This trip was just so relaxing for me. It's an ideal event to do by yourself. If you like to be on the water, it very relaxing.

Really good tour all around manhatten and into the Hudson bay. Unfortunately I didn't understand a word the guide was saying as he was talking too fast. Very enjoyable though.
