Sunset Eco Tour to Harbor Heron Islands

New York City, United States of America

Take an eco-friendly cruise to New York's Harbor Heron Islands to see New York's hidden wildlife. An onboard naturalist will introduce you to the area's migratory Heron population who are an unexpected sight in one of the world's busiest cities. See the sights of the Harbor while getting up close to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

More than three thousand herons fly up from southern regions to nest in on islands around New York Harbor. Now you have a chance to see these large majestic birds in their island habitat up closes during the magical time of sunset.

Join NYC Audubon aboard an eco-friendly water taxi, passing under well known bridges and by famous landmarks along the way to the Harbor Heron Islands. The trip provides for spectacular views of the Manhattan's skyline as well as and some of the city's lesser known aviary residents.

This is a great trip even if you are not into bird watching.The guide was very good and could spot a bird a mile away. He seemed to know everything about the river.It showed us a different part of New York and the bonus was the lights of New York turning on as we came back. Loved it.

The trip was great. Very informative about NYC history and wildlife. My only advice is to bring a sweatshirt - it's very windy on the boat!
