Rondout Lighthouse Tour: Cruise Through Kingston’s Maritime History
Step aboard Solaris, a unique solar-powered boat, for a memorable journey to Kingston’s historic Rondout Lighthouse. Departing from the Hudson River Maritime Museum, this one-hour-fifteen-minute experience combines scenic Hudson River views with fascinating stories about the lighthouse, its keepers, and the maritime heritage of the area.
Built in 1915, Rondout Lighthouse is one of only a few remaining lighthouses on the Hudson River. Guests can explore its interior and learn about the lives of the lighthouse keepers and their families while discovering the history that helped shape Kingston’s waterfront.
For those ready for a climb, the observation deck offers panoramic views of the Hudson River, Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge, and potentially Esopus Meadows Lighthouse in clear weather. The journey aboard Solaris is equally special, as the vessel operates entirely on solar power without fossil fuels.
The tour departs from 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston, New York, with guests encouraged to arrive early for check-in and parking. Designed for visitors aged eight and older, the lighthouse requires climbing stairs, ladders, and navigating narrow spaces, so guests should review the physical requirements before booking.
