New York Fall Foliage Boat Tours
Fall in New York usually means seeing Central Park alight in stunning fall colors. But at New York Harbor Tours, you can experience Fall in NYC in a completely different way.
Seeing the Manhattan Skyline tree-lined with the lush reds, oranges, and yellows of fall leaves is like a painting. All of New York takes on a completely different character when the seasons change, and can be the backdrop to your next favorite Instagram photo.
Our Fall Foliage Boat Tour covers all the most iconic New York sites uplifted with the beauty of Fall. In two hours, you can enjoy high tea on the water or throw a party in the crisp fall air. Bachelor and bachelorette parties are popular on this tour, and people have loved celebrating birthdays and anniversaries with us for years.
You’ll See Fall Foliage from NY & NJ on your cruise
You’ll sail up close and personal to the most iconic sites in New York City. Under its majestic bridges, past historic landmarks, and through its story told along the way by your USCG-licensed captain.
Here’s a list of some of the landmarks you’ll see on the Fall Foliage Tour:
The George Washington Bridge - Completed in 1931, the George Washington Bridge, sometimes called “The George”, connects Manhattan in New York to Fort Lee in New Jersey. It is the busiest vehicle-traffic bridge in the world, carrying over 100 million cars a year.
The Palisades - It’s a wall of steep cliffs along the Hudson River world-renowned for its stunning line of trees. Both in Summer and in brilliant Fall, the Palisades offer a surreal backdrop to your New York boat trip.
The Manhattan Skyline - We’ll sail past the imposing site of Manhattan as it reaches into the sky.
Englewood Cliffs - A small and scenic borough home to the North American headquarters of many international companies.
Wavehill Public Gardens - A scenic public park along the Hudson River.
