The views of the Hudson were beautiful and Dan, the Captain, was a trove of information about the area and the other boats. The boat is spotless and the Hudson very calm. Best of all, it was a safe, fun, relaxing experience during a pandemic. We are hoping to make this a regular summer event!

The proprietor, Paul, was so gracious and informative. At the time, the Esopus was down , as were trout. He recommended rivers where we were actually staying, even showed us how to access them. He recommended flies and techniques. I've been out with a few guides here and there but this gentleman was off the charts superb and NICE! So nice, that we are returning in the Fall to go out with him on the Esopus. He is the kind of guide I look forward to being out with. Remember, I had not been out yet but can't wait.

An absolute wealth of knowledge, patience, zero pretense, great sense of humor and such a pleasure to spend the day with. The shop is great.

We enjoyed sailing with Captain Pat, and appreciated how easy it was to book with him…read more He was friendly, personable, and the price was fair. His boat was also very clean, and he allowed us to navigate, and interact with the boat; The Dolphin. When booking this tour it's important to bring cash only, we didn't know that before our tour began but Capt. Pat was patient in allowing us to go to a cash machine. I would recommend this tour in Kingston, especially because boating services in Saugerties have a lot to be desired in the way of customer service, and I would rather go where the customer service is good.

My boyfriend and I called Ashoka Riding Club this morning to see if there were any available…read moreappointments to go horseback riding today, and we're promptly answered by Elene on the phone. She is a very sweet woman and asked what time would work best for us and we shortly landed on a time that worked for us both. Keep in mind, this place is Elene and Umberto's residence, and they are clearly hosting visitors because they enjoy what they do and sharing it with others. We arrived and called Elene and were met promptly by Umberto who took us to their stable to sign standard waivers and saddle up our horses for us, as well as giving us helmets to wear. My boyfriend and I were assigned Lila and Peggy to ride (both beautiful horses and unlike other reviewers wrote on here, the horses were definitely not skinny and underfed). Umberto helped us onto the horses one by one and then Elene instructed us how to hold the reigns and gave us the rundown on how riding and directing a horse actually works, which I found very helpful. Elene was stern at first with her instructions as she should be when educating someone how to properly ride an animal that could easily hurt you with its weight accidentally if handled incorrectly. After we understood the logistics we started along the BEAUTIFUL snowy path with Umberto and Elene alongside us on foot giving us more encouraging instructions along the way while also making very pleasant and interesting conversation. To be clear, they walked alongside us but were not holding onto and leading the horses as other reviews have said. Both Elene and Umberto were very sweet, interesting people who very clearly love what they do and love their horses dearly (after all, they moved to this location in order to be able to live somewhere where they were able to have their horses on site). I would highly recommend coming here for a ride if you're in the area, we enjoyed ourselves greatly and will definitely be returning again perhaps for a summertime ride this time!

I don't even know where to start with this review. Let's…read moreput it this way, the second u get there you start to think you may be on Texas chainsaw massacre. Everything is rusty and old and outdated. The owners are super weird. The horses are under fed and under weight. The whole trail consisted of them walking our horses. Not quite sure why I paid $50 for them to walk the horses. I decided to leave my sunglasses behind and tag my group on Facebook with our location in case we all Got killed cuz that's just the vibe we got from the start. Anyways let's fast forward to an awkward 25 min later where we were in the middle of the trail and we see bears. Yes bears. 3 black bears to be exact!! Umberto thinks it's smart to keep going on the trail and I said NO!!! Turn us around or I'm getting off. Also, he's hard of hearing so basically he screams for everything. So he turns around after we make him aware of the bears and screams go a wife "honey there's bears" now the lovely black bear family is looking at us 70 feet away. My horse is starting to get scared and start acting weird to the point I almost fell off. Thankfully his wife is smarter and told him in French to turn the horses around after he kept wanting to keep going on the trail. Thankfully all of us left unharmed. On the way back to the barn, Umberto point to a pile of rocks and tells me his first horse died there. I asked him how and he told me he shot him cuz he was sick. Not quite something I wanted to know. Lie to me next time please. I don't recommend this place. They give you no instruction on how to handle the horse or how to ride. And you don't really get a real experience out of it and it's super scary. Don't waste ur time, safety and money.

I was out on my boat on the Hudson River early on a Sunday evening and needed gas. Every fuel dock…read morethat I stopped at was closed for the day and I was starting to run low. Instead of burning gas going to each marina, I began calling ahead. Rogers Point was getting ready to close, but the person who answered the phone (it's a yacht club run by it's own members) said he will stay open and wait for me. I filled up and we were able to enjoy the rest of the night on the boat thanks to Rogers Point. The member who helped me also said to call the marina by radio any time when they're closed and any of the members will be glad to come out and open up the fuel pump. Great place just north of the Walkway on the Hudson for any boaters who are ever in need of gas - and reasonable gas prices.

My daughter and I recently started lessons here and the owner Sharon is extremely friendly. Elaine is my instructor and I find her voice very soothing. She's great with directions and goes with the student's pace. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for lessons!

I love Sharon and Vertical Limit, it's a very nice, classy barn with a very friendly atmosphere…read more Sharon is very flexible with scheduling and is fair with her prices. She has never yelled at me or made me feel bad during a lesson and takes her time when you mess up to ask you what happened and try to get you to understand what went wrong and how to fix it.
