But seeing it in real life for the first time... that moment stays with you. It's iconic, powerful, and absolutely beautiful from the water. The tour itself was relaxing and informative. It gave us time to take in the view, snap some photos, and just appreciate being so close to one of the most recognized landmarks in the world. We did this on day 3 of our trip, and it felt like the perfect timing -- not too early when you're still adjusting, but not too late when you've already seen too much. We went around 11:00 AM, and it wasn't overly crowded, which made it even more enjoyable. If you're coming to New York, I definitely recommend making time to see the Statue of Liberty. It's not just a symbol of the city -- it's a symbol of the country And experiencing it in person gives you a new appreciation for that. Bring your camera, soak in the moment, and enjoy the breeze from the boat -- it's totally worth it. RECOMMEND (Personally mine)

I suggest bringing a water bottle with you as it can be crowded and hot depending on time of year. Water bottles are like 5 bucks each on the ferry. I went when the weather was 100 degrees and it was the day before the 4th of July. It took a little while to get through security and wait in line for the ferry but once we boarded was nice. The views are amazing!!

I gave the Ferry only 4 stars bc like any metro in NYC the announcements r garbled & u can't understand it. If ur a tourist & not familiar w/ stops get a map or take a photo of stops to be clear. I live in Manhattan, but had business in Brooklyn via subway train but on the way back didn't want 2b on a smelly stuffy train so I took the Ferry a refreshing 15 minute ride back to the city. It's basically, only 3 stops b4 E. 34th St then L. I. C Queens is the last stop. It's a great trip too for a family outing across the East River. There's also one on the Westside- Hudson River going twds Lincoln Pk -Hoboken NJ, to Frank Sinatra restaurant. I've used them all & I'm very content.

I'm really disappointed in my recent trip to Governors Island, and unfortunately the ferry…read moreexperience ruined the visit. On the return ferry to Pier 6 (around 5-6 PM), the worker responsible for ushering passengers on and off was extremely rude and unprofessional. He was yelling at passengers, including families with young kids, and went so far as to separate children from their parents simply because the kids had bicycles and the parents didn't. Watching small children being forced away from their families was stressful and upsetting for everyone nearby. Instead of calmly explaining procedures or ensuring safety, the staff member barked orders and treated riders with disrespect. Governors Island is supposed to be a fun and family-friendly destination, but this kind of treatment is unacceptable. Families should never feel unsafe or disrespected when taking public transportation, and staff should be trained to handle passengers with patience and care, not hostility. I hope management takes this seriously and trains their ferry staff better. Until then, I would warn anyone with kids to be prepared for a very negative and unsettling ferry experience.

I had never been there before, it was a nice day, it was a nominal fee if my recollection serves me right, I decided it was something to do. So we boarded the boat and set sail, it was a relatively short trip and we got about 50 minutes until the next back to Brooklyn. I got to walk around, eat at good food truck , view some sights, take some pictures, and learn some history all in I didn't have the luxury of going back this past summer, but hopefully next summer I can make my way back there.

I learned from a YouTuber that there were great views of the city from the East River Ferry, so I caught it to Dumbo. Purchasing tickets was easy enough from one of the kiosks. During our wait, there were seats available under a covered area. Boarding and exiting the ferry were easy enough - just be careful if your shoes have little traction and it's wet outside. The ride went smoothly. The only bummer was that the upper deck was closed off, so everyone sat inside which made it hard to get great pictures. Not sure why they did that, but I'm assuming it was safety reasons due to light and intermittent showers.
