Lighthouse lovers get a rare water-level tour: past the Little Red Lighthouse tucked under the George Washington Bridge and up to Tarrytown Light near legendary Sleepy Hollow. Speaker Maggie Flanagan narrates the history along the way. If you want a Sunday on the Hudson that is more than a sightseeing loop, this museum-led cruise is a good one.
What to expect
Expect a three-hour trip on a New York Water Taxi boat with narration and river views as you head north toward Tarrytown. You can bring your own snacks and drinks, which makes it easy to picnic on board. Boarding is at the Fast Ferry Dock in St. George, so allow extra time to find it.
Good to know
- Departs from the Fast Ferry Dock in St. George, not the main ferry slips
- Bring your own snacks and drinks
- Buy tickets in advance through the museum
- Bring a layer for wind on the water
- The National Lighthouse Museum is nearby if you arrive early
