Decided to look at the fall leaves from the Hudson River. Took a tour on the Rip Van Winkle Hudson River Cruises. A great way to view the Hudson. Saw beautiful lighthouses ( yes lighthouses) on the Hudson and beautiful mansions. The boat is clean and they even serve drinks and food on board. Had a great hot apple cider and spiced rum cocktail! Great tour on the river. The crew is very friendly and there there is even some commentary to let you know what you are seeing.

The boat ride on the Hudson River was beautiful. I would highly recommend taking this cruise during the fall to see all the amazing colors. The staff was polite and informative. The seats were not to close together so you can feel comfortable on your journey. I learned a lot about the history of the Hudson River and enjoyed the beautiful weather of a lovely October day.

The boarding area for MV Rip Van Winkle is under a bridge. You will cruise part of the Hudson river, with all the scenic views and houses along this part of the river. You will learn about the history of the area. The crew is friendly and helpful. I normally do not buy an ship photos but the ships photographer will get some shot you will like to buy, I did.
