Embark on an inspiring and educational journey to two iconic New York islands, the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island.

Your tour begins with a guided orientation at Castle Clinton in Battery Park, where you will learn about the history of the neighborhood and the War of 1812. Then enjoy priority boarding onto the ferry to Liberty Island. As you cross the New York Harbor, admire the beautiful downtown Manhattan skyline behind you and snap photos of Lady Liberty from the water.

Once you're finished at Liberty Island, hop back on the ferry to the infamous Ellis Island, known as the Gateway to America.
