Description

We'll start this experience with one of New York's most original rides: the Roosevelt Island cable car. As we cross the East River, you'll enjoy a privileged view of the Midtown Manhattan skyline, the Queensboro Bridge, and a different perspective of the city that few visitors get to see.
Upon arrival at Roosevelt Island, we'll walk to the southern part of the island to visit Four Freedoms Park, an elegant vantage point surrounded by tranquility from where you can see the eastern part of Manhattan. From this point you'll have excellent panoramic views to photograph iconic buildings and enjoy a hidden corner of the city away from the usual hustle and bustle.

We'll then take the ferry across the East River, a scenic crossing that will allow us to admire Manhattan from the water. During the tour, you'll see some of the most iconic buildings on the skyline, such as the United Nations HQ, the Chrysler Building, and the Empire State Building, as you sail along the island's eastern shore.

The next stop will be in Brooklyn, where we'll tour the famous DUMBO area. Here you'll discover one of New York's most photographed neighborhoods, with stunning views from the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. We'll also make a stop on the iconic Washington Street, where you can take the famous photo with the Manhattan Bridge framing the Empire State Building in the background.

We'll continue to Hoboken, New Jersey, a charming town opposite Manhattan. There, you'll see the place where the first baseball game in the United States was played, a historic site for American culture. We'll then arrive at Sinatra Park, considered one of the best vantage points in the area, where you can take in a full panorama of the West Side of Manhattan, from Battery Park to the George Washington Bridge.

The excursion ends in Hoboken so you can enjoy the rest of the afternoon at your leisure. You can stroll through its streets, relax by the river, or discover its varied cuisine. When you want to return, you can easily do so on your own on the PATH Train, which will take you to 6th Avenue and 33rd Street in Manhattan in just 8 minutes.

Good to know before you go
  • Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there are short walking tours at each stop during the activity. The itinerary may vary slightly depending on traffic or weather conditions to ensure a better experience. Drop-off to Manhattan from Hoboken is not included with the tour guide, as each customer can return on their own on the PATH Train in approximately 8 minutes. This excursion is ideal for those who want to discover New York from different and less conventional perspectives.
