I grew up in the Mid-Hudson Valley and have been up and down both sides of the Hudson on land, but this was the first time I've gotten to see the landscape from the river. The narration with some of the local history was helpful and the scenery was beautiful. I bet it''s spectacular in the fall. The boat wasn't very crowded the day we went, but I would recommend getting there early so you can get a good seat. We sat right in the front so we had a mostly unobstructed view the whole time.

A two-hour cruise out of Kingston NY that was a fun and interesting way to spend a couple of pleasant hours. We went south on the river as far as the Vanderbilt mansion and saw many interesting landmarks along the way. The day we were out, we saw 4 bald eagles (very close by). A nice little outing. And there are restaurants with dining on the river in that area.
