The experiential learning on the Hudson is both challenging and inspirational. And, we did manage a few laughs along the way. His class was a life changing experience for me. Captain K, I owe you a nice Cuban! ;) Thank you for this great class. I highly recommend it!

The views of the Hudson were beautiful and Dan, the Captain, was a trove of information about the area and the other boats. The boat is spotless and the Hudson very calm. Best of all, it was a safe, fun, relaxing experience during a pandemic. We are hoping to make this a regular summer event!

Its, ok. People are friendly and its a nice tranquil ride, but there really isn't much of the way…read moreof scenery. A couple of lighthouses, but that's about it to see. As a non-New Yorker, I'm not that familiar with the it, and I thought they cleaned up the river, but I saw multiple dead fish in the water, which was a little off-putting. So, overall a 'meh' experience, I don't regret it, but probably would've passed on it if I knew what I was getting into.

Normally there are 75 to 90 people on board, we had a total of 14 and had the boat pretty much to ourselves.

This was a wonderful experience and delightful way to spend the afternoon drinking Spaten Oktoberfest and Kölsch while cruising down the Hudson. Thank you Diane for the inspiration!!!

Despite my best efforts in the past to do Fall train rides, which turned out to be disappointing only because there was never any good colors on trees, this by far is the very best fall foliage experience I've ever had in my life. You get great views of the tree color transitions and just great photo opportunities. It does get cold on the water so bring a jacket. Experience is as excellent as last time with beverages and snacks for purchase. If you enjoy fall colors, great scenery and boats then you have to do this at least once.
