Kayak to Water’s Soul—NYC’s Quietest Landmark

On this special tour, we paddle across the Hudson River to Jersey City for an unforgettable view of Water’s Soul, an 80-foot sculpture by artist Jaume Plensa. Best seen from the water, this striking figure with a finger to her lips invites viewers into quiet reflection amid the NYC skyline. We’ll launch from the Pier 84 Boathouse and cross the river together for a peaceful yet powerful encounter with one of the region’s most iconic new works of public art. We’ll have an on-water snack break along the Jersey City coast before heading back. This trip has no landing stops.

“Water is a marvelous metaphor; one drop is quite alone… but many drops create immense rivers and oceans.” —Jaume Plensa
