Over the weekend myself and 4 of my friends went on the Paddles and Pints Tour from Newburg to Beacon along with a mother and daughter (7 people total).
Dylan was a phenomenal guide and a great person in general! He made sure we all knew where to go, what to do and how to stay safe. All while keeping the mood light and telling some great stories.
Highly recommended if you’re a local or if you are coming up from the city! We'll be coming back again next year.

$60 for a two hour kayak tour on Hudson river. We went to see the Bannerman castle, the tour takes you around the island and one of the guides tells you interesting trivia about the castle and its history. Overall it was a nice and fun day. This was a 3 to 5 tour, they have other tours too, some in the morning with a barbeque at the end and even sunset tours.

I had a great experience on the Bannerman Island tour. Brian is very experienced and kept us calm in the waters (there're a number of first-timers in the group). He's knowledgeable about the history and also shared interesting tidbits about the area. All in all great trip - just the right length, and beautiful weather. Look forward to joining future tours.

Very experienced tour guides. I highly recommend , MVG especially if you are a 1st time kayaker!
Our Guides Dylan and Callie were terrific! And for me personally Callie went above and beyond....I got very sea sick and she stayed with me the entire time, even on the beach while the others explored the marsh! Then she towed me back to shore by tethering me to her kayak! Thank you so much!! ❤

Wonderful day kayaking on the Hudson, we were very fortunate to have Kenji as our guide, this company is lucky to have him. We did the Bannerman tour, getting very close to the island, Kenji was attentive to everyone, he definitely made it a great tour!
Take some time for yourself and enjoy the Hudson.

My partner and I had a great experience with Bill on the Hudson this day! We were challenged with our 2 person kayak and he worked with us to learn together! Great storyteller and good equipment too. I would recommend this to all ages and abilities! Thanks for a great workout too!

The manager and all the employees are incredibly friendly and professional. They give an amazing tour and their knowledge of the Hudson is unmatched. Ive been on countless of their tours and have not been disappointed by a single one. Definitely recommend them!
