Skyline Kayak Trip

Experience the City’s Massive Scale

Skip the crowded tourist boats and slow down to the speed of the river on high-stability kayaks. Imagine riding a floating sofa with both hands on the paddle. It’s a rare chance to be fully present for a 90-minute refresh on the wide-open Hudson.

From the glass towers of Hudson Yards to the historic spire of the Empire State Building, float along a majestic human-made mountain range only visible from the water’s surface.

Whether you’re on a spontaneous date or a much-needed digital detox, our approachable guides, who’re long-time stewards of the Hudson, provide a perspective you won’t find anywhere else.

Leave the protected cove and head into sparkling open water for panoramic city views.
