Solaris Tours - 2023 Summer Season
Join us on board Solaris, our 100% solar-powered tour boat May through October for our many specially themed boat tours happening on the Rondout Creek and Hudson River. Our tours include Native American history, the history of steamboats and 19th-century industrialization on the River, Bird Watching and Photography, and many more!
We offer tours to two-of-the-seven remaining lighthouses on the Hudson River, and our popular Rondout Lighthouse tours are the only way to dock at and explore Kingston's historic lighthouse.
Our Wrecked and Abandoned tours take passengers down the Rondout Creek where boats of all sizes and makes lay aground or under water, each being an important piece of the creek's long and rich history as a vital port on the Hudson River.
Looking for less adventure and more relaxation? We offer many cruises, including our Northbridge Sunset Cruises and Twilight Tasting Cruises, that are great ways to unwind and enjoy beautiful scenery while learning about local history.
All boat tour tickets include admission to the museum (our summer hours are Wednesday-Sunday, 11 am to 5 pm).
