On your way to the Statue of Liberty, you will enjoy the breathtaking skyline of Manhattan including the Empire State, Chrysler Building, One World Trade Center, and best view of the Battery and downtown NY.
There is a security zone around the statue but a paddle to the Statue of Liberty is the definition of freedom. Paddling boarding the Hudson River offers a truly unique way of experiencing New York.
