I love to take a Hudson River Cruise every Fall season to enjoy the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley. Can't beat the views from the water, along with a side of history about the area. Definitely recommend!

This was a very good two hour cruise on the Hudson. Our purpose there was for a fall foliage and it did not disappoint. We were on the 11am and departed on time. The captain pointed out interesting facts but we could barely hear him. It didn't matter. The scenery was the star and it was well worth the trip.

My husband and I were visiting upstate for a quick getaway. We decided to do the Hudson River Cruises as part of our day on a Thursday for "Thirsty Thursdays". Pros: The views were great and they were prompt with the start time. Pretty strict COVID guidelines which were adhered to a bit. I was able to maintain social distancing so I was fine with people not wearing masks. We got serenaded for a bit by one of the captains for a bit before the wind took over LOL. Cons: We had originally read that included in the ticket was supposed to be a beer flight. Turns out you just get 2 tickets to try 2 of the beers. Not the exact flight was was thinking about. Were told they accept cash or card. Turns out they do not accept cash. The cruise was maybe about 1 hour and a half. However it looks like they've now updated their website to reflect the card only and that it is a beer tasting. However, when I booked it did not reflect this information (I have proof with the booking email) All in all I'd do it again but I'd just do the regular sightseeing as the 90+ for 2 people for the "beer tasting" wasn't worth it for me.
