New York Fall Foliage Cruise up the Hudson River

Grab a hot beverage from the bar and gaze at New York's most dramatic natural wonders and colorful foliage as the seasons change.

Seating is assigned in the covered and heated salon with large windows. *Please note that although the boat is heated, it is also drafty and we advise you to bring layers, hats & gloves.

The boat ride and crew were awesome. We really enjoyed it! The 2 hours was perfect. I would do this again in a couple years

It was a beautiful day and perfect to see the Fall Foliage. The boat was very comfortable and we just had a great time. It was easy to get to Pier 11 and it was a well organized round trip.

We saved this excursion for later in our trip. We weren't disappointed. The weather was kind - marvellously bright for great photo opportunities. The crew on the boat were helpful and attentive. Definitely a memorable trip for the end of our holiday - the 'Fall' colours were lovely.
