See the best views of NYC from the water

Get wowed by unobstructed NYC skyline panoramas. First, our kayak guides outfit each person with a boat, paddle, and life jacket. Beginners get a fun 10-minute lesson. Then, paddle into the most scenic part of the Hudson River for an hour. The guide keeps you safe and is required. The tour will stop along the way to highlight NYC history and architectural wonders.

Beginners choose our single or double sit-on-top kayaks. They’re super stable and easy-to-use. Experienced paddlers use our SUPs, touring kayaks, or surf skis and get a~70 minute trip since they don’t need a lesson.

Most private trips are on weekdays. To join on a weekend, see our non-private river trips.
