Private Shopping Tour to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets from NYC

THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

You step into the XL mini van in midtown Manhattan and the city slims behind you—steel towers give way to the Hudson’s wide shoulder and tree-lined parkland. The ride itself is part of the day: the George Washington Bridge frames the skyline, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge arcs over the river, and by Stony Point you can feel history underfoot before the outlets appear like a glass-and-stone village off the highway.

History

The Stony Point area preserves Revolutionary War history and the drive passes sites tied to 18th- and 19th-century river commerce as the Hudson Valley shifted from farms and trade to modern development.

Conservation

Using a shared private transfer reduces the number of individual cars on the highway; shoppers can further minimize impact by using reusable bags and disposing of packaging responsibly.
