New York Harbor Snorkel & Water Adventure — Expert-Led Small Group

Plunge into the surprisingly vibrant waters of New York Harbor for an expert-guided small-group snorkel or kayak adventure — a thrillingly unexpected way to experience one of the world's most iconic waterfronts.

What to expect

Suited up and briefed by your expert instructor, you'll take to the water for an exhilarating perspective on the harbor that 99% of visitors never experience. Paddle past the silhouettes of skyscrapers, explore the edges of historic piers, and discover a surprisingly teeming underwater ecosystem that has rebounded magnificently in recent decades. Groups are kept deliberately small for safety and quality. All equipment is provided; no prior experience is necessary.
