Did the full 2-hour “Harbor Lights” boat tour and had a fantastic experience! The boat opens for boarding about 45 minutes early, and I highly recommend arriving early if you don’t have the premium package since seating fills up fast. I started off seated indoors, and as the tour went on, many people roamed around the boat, leaving seats open. So you may still find a spot indoors later if needed.
The tour guide was excellent and made the time fly by with lots of interesting facts about New York. The views are absolutely unbeatable on the Harbor Lights tour. They time it perfectly so you start in daylight, see the Statue of Liberty at sunset, and return to the city lit up at night. We got so many great photos!
Another bonus: there’s a snack bar onboard. We grabbed chips, drinks, and even pizza. Overall, highly recommend!
