I thought the cops would pick us up for sure. - Who knew you could kayak in the Hudson River amongst all the boat/barge traffic? It was an awesome experience that included our 11-year-old son. We paddled upstream and then floated back to pier 84. Alejandro was an excellent guide and you are able to get great photos with the Manhattan skyline in the background.

Great Way to Show Off NYC - Brought relatives that were visiting New York for the first time on this tour. Unique way to show off the incredible skyline. Would highly recommend for first time vistors or even born & raised NYers!
