Bear Mountain Cruise
8 HOURS
PIER 83, MIDTOWN
Cruise up the Hudson River to Bear Mountain State Park on New York's floating Oktoberfest! Enjoy live music, fall foliage and brews on a fun-filled day trip.
New York City's #1 Floating Oktoberfest!
Take a fifty-mile cruise up the Hudson River to Bear Mountain State Park while enjoying autumnal sights and Oktoberfest-themed experience, including German food specials, Oktoberfest beers (available for purchase) and live music.
Our huge, outdoor decks are perfect for getting some fall sun, fresh air and 360-degree views.
The Hudson River Cruise goes under two of the most impressive bridges in New York State, the mighty George Washington Bridge and the modern Mario Cuomo Bridge, aka Tappan Zee Bridge. You'll pass Hook Mountain, which rises to nearly 800 feet straight up from the Hudson River with sheer cliffs, covered in bright autumn foliage, surrounded by ravens, hawks, ospreys and the occasional Bald Eagle before arriving at Bear Mountain. Once you're there you'll be able to get out, hike around for two hours, enjoying the Bear Mountain Lake and many trails. Please note that there is no Oktoberfest event at Bear Mountain this year.
With a mix of 2 different bands this year, traveling up the Hudson has never sounded better! New this year, Divining Rod will be playing Americana and country rock, a heady mix of soulful originals and eclectic covers. The Street Beat Brass Band will also return to play a wide diversity of brass music, familiar tunes, German Polka and New Orleans Jazz. Who's playing when? Check it out below.

What You'll See
Departing Pier 83, you'll pass under the George Washington Bridge, marvel at the majestic Palisades and the modern Cuomo Bridge, continuing up the Hudson to Bear Mt
This dual-span twin bridge was completed in 2018 at a cost of nearly $4 billion connecting Westchester and Rockland counties.
The Palisades are a line of steep cliffs rising up from the Hudson River to about 540 feet.
This museum is in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan. Pieces were brought over from Europe and it was completed in 1939 .
The world’s busiest suspension bridge spans the Hudson River and carries over 103 million vehicles per year.
