What To Expect

This 1-hour kayaking trip around New York City begins at the Manhattan Community Boathouse in Midtown Manhattan. After checking in, get outfitted for a life jacket and paddle. Following some brief instruction to learn the basic kayak strokes and safety protocols, climb into a single or double kayak and embark on an evening to remember.

While paddling along the Hudson River, enjoy stunning views of Manhattan’s brilliant skyline and some of its most iconic sites, like One World Trade Center, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, United Nations Headquarters, South Street Seaport, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and many more.

It’s a perfect way to end a long day of sightseeing in the Big Apple — or equally as good for a romantic date night. Watch as the sun sets on the New York City skyline, casting long shadows and glistening off the water as the city comes to life with thousands of lights.

Lockers are available at the boathouse for personal belongings. Bring a change of pants as bottoms are likely to get wet. Plastic bags are made available to store wet pants.
