Paddle the Hudson With Experts on a Private Tour!

A private lesson or tour with Hudson River Recreation gives you and your family the perfect opportunity to have a personalized experience with one of our expert guides. You’ll learn new skills while your guide shows you around the area. Whether you’re totally new to the water or an experienced paddler, we’ve got you covered!

At Hudson River Recreation we are happy to offer you and your group a private tour at any of our locations! Booking private means you’ll be accompanied by one of our highly trained guides at the time and location most convenient for you.

Choose from our three locations: Sleepy Hollow, Croton Point or Croton River, and leave the rest up to us! Your lesson is designed specifically for YOU! With our private tour, you will gain skills based on your particular interests and needs with a custom design lesson crafted by our expert instructors. We’ll provide you with the kayak, paddle, life jackets and, of course, an experienced guide.

Your Hudson River experience doesn’t stop with the tour, many launch sites have additional facilities within the area. Take advantage of the available amenities, including picnic areas, pavilions, swimming beaches, sports fields, playgrounds, camping areas, cabins and RV parks.
