Update (9/22/26): Given this week's high wind conditions, the captain of American Princess Cruises has made the call to cancel all tours — including our Whale Watch and Dolphin Cruise on Thursday, September 24.
Thank you for your understanding, and for standing with us for the river.
Join Riverkeeper for our annual Whale Watch & Dolphin Cruise on Thursday, September 24 from 2:00 - 5:30 pm.
Setting sail from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, we'll cruise in the waters surrounding New York City, a living testament to decades of clean water restoration work. This is a rare chance to see whales and dolphins in the nation’s largest city.
You'll hear from Riverkeeper President Tracy Brown and habitat experts as we explore Riverkeeper’s important work to heal the Hudson from New York City to the Adirondacks.
Top-tier ticket holders will have access to a dedicated meet-up featuring drinks and snacks at GUDA Brooklyn, located directly across the street from Pier 8, beginning at 12:30 pm.
Get the most out of New York Climate Week by connecting with the city’s incredible waterways, and by supporting Riverkeeper’s work to protect and restore them.
Light refreshments will be served. The boat is equipped with bathroom facilities. Please arrive by 1:15 pm to begin boarding.
