Learn about local wildlife and riverfront history at this three-hour eco tour with Classic Harbor Line. Join host and renowned urban naturalist Gabriel Willow aboard a yacht (either the Manhattan or Manhattan II) on Sundays and Mondays this summer as your travel up the East River to the historic North and South Brother Islands, which are prime nesting areas for black-crowned night herons, snowy and great Egrets, double-crested cormorants and more.
Your guide will help you spot birds (and the occasional harbor seal!) and give context to the landscape and historical background of these little known islands. Tickets include a reserved window seat, complimentary beverage and gourmet sandwich; full bar and other food items are also available for purchase.
