This two hour tour on the Hudson River goes past Roundout, and Esopus lighthouses, so we were able to get good closeup photos of them. They gave a lot of history of the river and historic places along it. We were told that one sees the same things sitting to one side, as the boat turns for going back, but found that sitting on the right for going they got closer to the lighthouses than on the way back on the other side. We could hear the speaker clearly and much enjoyed this ride!

Took the ferry ride with the wife, my 10 yr old daughter and her BFF, another 10 yr old girl..the girls loved it and so did my wife..not too long, about 90 mins round trip, the captain had good info over the loud speaker but didnt over do it, left some quiet times to just admire the incredible scenery of the Hudson River Valley..love it!

It was very comforting to know that there are still cruise lines outside of the city that highlight New York States greatest features. The staff are truly like family, very warm, inviting and friendly. Definitely a nice and relaxing cruise to take to get out of the city and see some sights on the Hudson River.
