    Had a great time on the Bannerman Island tour. Kayaks were clean. Staff and your guides were friendly and knowledgeable. We lucked out with amazing weather and calm water. Kayaked out to the island. Enjoyed a nice tour of the island and learned some interesting history of the buildings. Then we had a little time to walk around before kayaking back. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic! The price was spot on for the amazing experience that you will have. Our tour guide, Bill, made for an incredible afternoon. My wife and I booked the Moodna Marsh tour. We had a relaxing paddle into the marsh, saw some great sights with birds and then were able to dock on what was the highest tide any kayaker's had seen in some time. The high tide was strong enough to whisk us back faster on our return. We were able to dock in the marsh, enjoy the river and take wonderful pictures. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone interested in kayaks or beautiful sights. My wife and I may even loom for part time employment with how professional, well planned, detailed and amazing the tours are!

    Heading to tour the island

    Great organization! Just did my second trip with Storm King Adventures. Very well run. Safety is a top priority. The Bannerman Island with walking tour is not to be missed. Looking forward to more trips!

    The kayak guides were super awesome and helpful. We didn't even get our feet wet. The tire tour was super fun. Pollepel Island was cute and beautiful. It's fun to learn a bit about local history and Mr. Bannerman. Our whole family had a wonderful time! Thank you

    Kayaking on the Hudson.  Sunset tour.

    Love, love, love. Our guide was excellent and knowledgeable, the equipment was clean, and the scenery was remarkable. Highly recommend.

    Kayaking around Bannerman's Island

    I've taken two of their kayaking excursions and both times the experience was fun and enjoyable. If you're an avid kayaker their tours might be a bit too easy. But if you're looking for a few hours on the water, seeing some nice scenery and having friendly tour guides, you'll like Storm King Adventure. Here are a few pros and cons: Pros: really friendly guides, good scenery, easy kayaking, great activity for kids and families. Cons: they make you check in at their offices before going to the waterfront. I'm not sure why, since you can now sign all waivers on-line before hand. The guides aren't naturalists so don't expect lots of info on birds or plant life. They do a full moon kayak trip which seems like it would be cool. Will probably do that next.

    What a perfect way to spend an absolutely perfect September day (in all fairness the staff shouldn't get credit for the perfect weather). We did the Bannerman's island tour (non-hardhat) which lasts a solid 3 hours. I booked a few weeks ahead of time, but upon walking in the owner Kris knew exactly who I was and made sure I was accommodated with everything I needed (parking pass, waiver, driving directions, bathroom, payment method...). They added another stop (to the base of breakneck ridge) to the tour which was great because 1 loop around the castle's island would have been a bit too quick. The kayaking itself was fairly relaxing until the final cross of the Hudson, which was a bit of a grind going against the current. The lead guide Kara really knew her stuff and was very approachable and friendly during the tour (via kayak of course). Not sure if I'll do another trip with them but I will highly recommend this to friends.

    I've wanted to take this tour ($45) for a while now but finally got around to it recently on a…read morelovely fall Sunday morning. While the tour is timed at 2.5 hours...you spend closer to 1.5 hours on the island itself, factoring in the 30-minute boatride to and from the island. There was lots of parking available as the Metro Station's parking is free on weekends. I opted for the early 9:30am departure. I arrived around 9:05am and there were a few people there waiting. They started checking tickets and allowing people onto the boat at around 9:15am. The boat left on time at 9:30am. Tom was at the wheel and Jen was assisting. (Forgive me if I got the names wrong) Jen gave an overview of the sites, buildings and history of the Newburgh waterfront during the 20-minute boatride to the island. We arrived around 9:50, docked and climbed up some stairs to a waiting/dock area. We were then greeted by ___ who was our tour guide for the visit. She explained the history of the island as we made our way through the tour path...passing the castle, garden and museum. After the tour (about 30-40 minutes), visitors can explore the island on their own. There are a few areas that are accessible but not on the tour path, such as Wee Bay. I suggest exploring those areas as you will be rewarded with some amazing views! The museum is also small, but very informative...lots of little interesting facts about the island in there. Be sure to check it out. While the tour path itself is fairly flat, the other explorable areas are rocky and uneven. Its best to wear comfortable hiking/trail shoes if possible...otherwise, you will feel every sharp/uneven rock particalarly if wearing flat-bottomed shoes. There is a small shop there with snacks and some souvenirs. Bathrooms on the island. None on the boat. The group met up at the dock at around 11:30am to take the boat back to Beacon. A group was arriving at that time...likely the 11:00am tour. Overall I had a great time on the tour...learned a lot and captured some great views. Be sure to leave time afterward (or before) to explore other attractions in Beacon...such as the shop-filled Main Street.

    Months after my trip here I'm still unhappy I spent three hours on this experience. I'm writing an…read moreupdate to let people know there is a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired house on Petre Island, a dozen miles southeast of Bannerman, which is open for tours! The island has been for sale for years and once it's purchased it might not be open to the public anymore.

    We booked West Point Tours to shuttle guests from their hotels in Kingston to our venue in Esopus…read more The struggle to communicate with Julie at WPT was one of the most frustrating parts of our wedding planning experience. Our venue only allowed us to use certain bus companies, so we were limited, particularly because we wanted coach buses, not school buses. West Point was recommended by our planner, as well. Though she was quick to get back to you, we found Julie, who was our point of contact, to be very difficult to communicate with, seemed frazzled, overreacted to questions, and would contact our planner, with whom she had a professional relationship, instead of just getting in touch with us. She misplaced checks, sent incorrectly updated invoices, and was continuously misunderstanding us when we'd ask about seemingly straightforward things like timing, wheelchair access, etc. We truly dreaded each time we had to speak with her or email her. The day of the wedding, though, the buses got our guests to where they need to be safely and on time, so all is well that ended well... except that one bus drove onto grass where it wasn't supposed to and got stuck. There are worse things, but if this is the best the Hudson Valley's got in the coach bus department, we can't imagine what other companies are like.

At each stop Donovan made sure that we were treated like royalty. He didn't just drop us off, he got out with us and set us all up comfortably at each winery even going out of his way to get ice for our wine and helping us choose the best reviewed wines at each stop. Then Donovan even took pictures of our group at each stop and then sent them all to me to make sure I had memories of our trip. Donovan's vehicle was clean and well taken care of. All 9 of us fit comfortably with room for a few more. He was so hospitable and so much fun to hang out with on our drive to each stop. He played the music we liked and kept us laughing the entire time. I can't say enough about Donovan. I would definitely recommend him 100%.
