If your objective is to see the statue of liberty from a boat then this tour is fine, boat will go around the river and back within an hour. However if you want to visit the statue on the island and get to see the lady liberty up close and personal then book a ferry from the official statue tours roughly $25 adults $12 kids. Which is what we did after learning circle line didn't stop on the island. We spent about half a day on the island and got to visit the museum on the island for free too, you could also visit elis island within the same ticket.
