Join us for a Hudson River Fall Foliage Cruise aboard one of our classic boats and head north up the Hudson River to take in the beautiful colors of fall. Escape from the chaos of the city and join us for a 2.25 – 2.5-hour fall foliage cruise on luxury yacht Manhattan or hop aboard a 3.5-hour Hudson River foliage cruise aboard Schooner Adirondack! Feel the crisp autumn air upon your face and take in the brilliant crimson red, pumpkin orange, and golden yellow of the Hudson Valley for an afternoon leaf-peeping cruise in NYC.

We all know that New England is famous for its spectacular fall colors, and it’s hard to find a better way to see them than on a fall foliage cruise on the Hudson River. On any of these Fall Foliage cruises, you experience what it feels like to glide through the Hudson River and take in the rolling hills and brilliant fall colors. Hudson River fall foliage cruises let you take in the beauty of nature as you pass by iconic landmarks such as the George Washington Bridge, the Cloisters, the Palisades, and the Little Red Light House!

A fall foliage cruise in New York is the place to be this autumn, so grab a hot cup of coffee or herbal tea and relax with friends or family when you join us for our fall foliage cruises in NYC. Whether you are visiting town or are a native New Yorker, an NYC fall foliage cruise is something that everyone should experience at least once in their life!

Throughout this NYC eco boat tour, our knowledgeable naturalist-guide will share insights into the conservation efforts aimed at preserving these precious ecosystems.

Seal sightings are not guaranteed on this NYC wildlife boat tour, but they have been a constant inhabitant of Swinburne and Hoffman during winter for the past several years. On this NYC boat ride, our expert tour guides and renowned Urban Naturalists, Gabriel Willow or Russell Jacobs, will regale you with fascinating tales of these iconic islands and historic waterways. They'll illuminate the stories of the migrating birds who inhabit the harbor this time of year. Once used as islands for quarantining immigrants with contagious diseases in the 19th century, Swinburne and Hoffman are modern day 'abandoned islands', reclaimed by nature as a breeding ground for birds, and a winter 'haul out' destination for grey seals and harbor seals. Throughout this NYC eco boat tour, our knowledgeable naturalist-guide will share insights into the conservation efforts aimed at preserving these precious ecosystems. Learn about the ongoing research conducted by organizations such as the NYC Bird Alliance and Parks’ Natural Resources Group, as they strive to protect and nurture the diverse NYC wildlife that call these islands home.
