    The highlight of our time in NYC
    Fantastic trip and definitely the NY highlight of our 14 and 12 year old children. A really fun way to see the Statue of Liberty and we had an excellent guide Sherry who was very informative and just really nice.

    super fun
    Was recommended this by a friend at first i was a little hesitant to book HOWEVER i’m so glad we did! This is probably one of my highlights of my trip to NYC, great views, staff take pictures of you on your own phone with the statue of liberty in the background (no charge for this). Such a fun experience but I do recommend you wear a waterproof jacket and have belongings you don’t mind getting wet!

    First class sail!
    First class experience from start to finish! The Captain and crew took take of 12 of us with a nice brunch we ordered. They were attentive but completely non-intrusive, giving us an intimate 3 hours together on the Hudson River. Enjoyed talking with the Captain who knows how to take care of his guests.

    The Odette with Captain Paul and Melissa
    Had an AMAZING night sailing with Captain Paul and his Wife Melissa. They were punctual, friendly and so hospitable. The Odette was immaculate, Melissa made sure we had a great time. The Music was great, they made sure we were entertained and took us to all the sights we wanted to see. They positioned the boat so that we had spectacular views and great photo opportunities. They took us to the Statue of Liberty, up the East River, under the Brooklyn Bridge and made sure to point out view points for us to see. Overall we had 5 star service hands down. Grateful to Captain Paul and Melissa for ensuring our evening was special. Can’t thank them enough for all the great memories.

    Vrrroom!!
    The speedboat tour was excellent. We loved when we are just meandering on the Hudson, and then next thing you know we were zipping towards the Statue of Liberty and then the Brooklyn Bridge. I'd even say this is a better tour then Codzilla.

    I rate this a five even though the captain was kinda weird, but it's made up by his first mate who had a great attitude. Also, they need to put a sign on the dock so one can find the place.

    This really is a thrill ride
    Wow, I got tickets for my son and grandson and I. We read other reviews, got there early and stood in (front of the) line. My pre-teen grandson got the seat at the front of the boat. We were right behind. They say if you want the most thrill, sit at the front of the boat - if you want the most splash, sit at the back. I was authentically scared several times and kind of beat up by the hard bumps, you feel everything at the front of the boat and you really fly. The staff was great and made it so much fun. My grandson and son had SO much fun, and I did too, but if I did it again I'd let them have the front and I'd sit toward the back. Make sure everyone is securely buckled.

    Serengeti Miracle Land
    The African Safaris are best with wild cruising. I enjoyed to see the big five animals and taking my best sunset photos in Serengeti. I appreciate Africa Natural Tours Company Limited for their experience they shared with me in Safaris!
