You can row a boat in Central Park but for a truly enjoyable on-the-water experience in NYC look towards the Hudson and Manhattan Kayak. And you have three terrific pulses to choose from!
Grab this $19 pulse (a $40 value) for a 1 hour Kayak Tour, that starts with basic instruction followed by exploration of Pier 66. If you are looking for a bit more fun and diversity, grab the $49 pulse (a $95 value) for the Stand-Up Paddleboarding Basics Class - 90 minutes of fun under the sun.
Finally, make a day of it with the most popular 4+ hour Kayak Paddle Basics Class for just $88 (a $175 value) - a classic introduction to sea kayaking strokes and techniques.
