Full description Sail across the waters of New York Harbor to Liberty Island and explore the history of the iconic Statue of Liberty with an expert guide. Choose between two options: a two-hour express tour to see the statue up close or a four-hour in-depth tour that includes a visit to the Statue of Liberty Museum and Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants began their new lives in America.

The Statue of Liberty is a global symbol and a must-visit landmark in New York City. This flexible tour lets you choose the option that best fits your schedule and preferences. If you're short on time, the two-hour express tour includes an introduction at Battery Park, a ferry ride, and a guided visit to Liberty Island. For a more immersive experience, the four-hour tour takes you beyond, allowing you to explore the Statue of Liberty Museum and continue to Ellis Island, where you’ll hear powerful stories of immigration.

Your journey begins at The Battery (formerly Battery Park), the historic gateway to Lady Liberty. From there, board the ferry to Liberty Island, where your guide will share the fascinating story of how the statue was built and its significance as a symbol of freedom and hope. As you explore the island, take in breathtaking views of the New York City skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Hudson River.

If you choose the express tour, your visit ends here, with the option to continue exploring on your own or return with your guide. Opting for the full tour extends your experience to the Statue of Liberty Museum and Ellis Island, where you’ll dive deeper into the history of those who arrived in New York seeking a new beginning.
