Footwear first
Expect 3–5 miles of walking on pavement—wear cushioned, broken‑in sneakers or light hiking shoes.

Protect from sun and wind
Bring a light windbreaker and sunscreen—riverside sections can be windy even on warm days.

Allow extra time before or after the tour—NYC traffic and ferry/port conditions can delay transfers.
Supportive walking shoes
Cushioned soles and good grip keep you comfortable on pavement and bridge approaches.
Refillable water bottle
Staying hydrated is important during continuous walking and warm months.
Small daypack
Carries layers, snacks, camera, and purchases during free time.
