Hidden Harbor Tours®

Types of Tours

Regular Hidden Harbor Tours®
By special arrangement with Circle Line Downtown
Two hour sunset tours, typically on week day late afternoon

These tours visit many port facilities but the highlight is always the giant containership terminals at Port Newark/Elizabeth, NJ.
These tours end at the Statue of Liberty and inlcude a close up view of the "teardrop" 9/11 memorial at the end of Military Ocean Terminal in Bayonne.

Special Hidden Harbor Tours®

Newtown Creek Tours (3+ hours)
Special tour up the 4+ mile long creek that separates Queens & Brooklyn. Very polluted. Very industrial. But with an emerging public side. One of our most interesting tours, typically offered once a year.

Circumnavigation of Staten Island (3.5+ hours)
A very popular tour. In addition to Kill Van Kill we travel the entirte length of Arthur Kill with a close up view of Witte's graveyard of ships and Fresh Kills.

Circumnavigation of Manhattan - Bridges & Rail (3.5+ hours)
Visit all the working harbor sites that surround Manhattan in the East, Harlem and North Rivers. Inlcudes Brooklyn Navy Yard and many former industrial sites, as well as the west side Passenger Ship Terminal. Not your normal "circle line" (although we do use Circle Line 42)

Special Evening Hidden Harbor Tours®
With food & open bar. On the luxurious classic motor vessel Manhattan

Hidden Harbor Charters
By special arrangement. Can be any size or length and to any destination. A variety of boats can be used.
