Five Boro Sightseeing Tour

NYC Five Boroughs Bike Tour.     

Experience all five boroughs of New York City in one unforgettable ride—Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx—combining scenic waterfront cycling with iconic ferry crossings and legendary bridges.

Starting Point: Hudson Yards, Manhattan (Borough #1)
We begin in Hudson Yards and ride just one block to the Hudson River Greenway, heading north along the river with sweeping waterfront views. We continue to the NYC Ferry terminal, where we board a 30-minute ferry ride down the Hudson River.

Enjoy stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge (the longest suspension bridge in America) as we arrive in Staten Island (Borough #2).

After a short 5-minute ride on Staten Island, we board the iconic Staten Island Ferry for another 30-minute crossing, offering spectacular views of the East River, Brooklyn waterfront, and the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges, returning us to Manhattan at Battery Park.

Manhattan to Brooklyn (Borough #3)
From Battery Park, we ride uptown along the East River Waterfront Greenway, passing South Street Seaport, and continue to the Manhattan Bridge, which we cross into DUMBO, Brooklyn. We head north through Brooklyn, passing the Brooklyn Navy Yard and historic Steinway Studios, then ride through the vibrant neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

Queens (Borough #4)
Crossing the Pulaski Bridge, we enter Long Island City, Queens (not to be confused with Long Island), and continue north through Astoria. We then cross the Triborough/RFK Bridge onto Randall’s Island (technically part of Manhattan), riding along the greenway beneath the beautiful Hell Gate / Amtrak Railroad Bridge.

The Bronx (Borough #5) and Return to Manhattan
From Randall’s Island, we cross into the Bronx, riding through the Port Morris / Mott Haven area. We then cross the Madison Avenue Bridge, returning to Manhattan in Harlem.

We ride through Harlem and enter Central Park, cycling approximately ¼ of the park in the downtown direction to 72nd Street on the Upper West Side. From there, we exit to the Hudson River Greenway and enjoy a final scenic ride back to Hudson Yards, where the tour concludes.
