On a Brisk late October day there was a warm cabin or a open deck to enjoy the leaves and the river. Deckhands helped with the wheelchair on the long steep ramp and we got aboard just fine. Good thing we had coats and blankets because of course wheelchair couldn't go down to the warm cabin . They ran out of hot dogs but the coffee kept coming and the pretzels were delicious. I can't say enough about how wonderful the staff was helping us be comfortable on the trip and safe on the steep ramp. It was worth it.

This was such a relaxing experience. As you sail you'll hear a little history of each landmark you past, which I didn't expect, and the views are so pretty! The boat is not rocky even though the waters were choppy. This is a great activity!

It was a beautiful Fall trip on the Hudson River. Narrative was excellent although hard to hear when we went down to the seccond level on the trip back. It was disappointing that the leaves were not more colorful. Thatwould have been truly beautiful.
