Sailing each weekend from May through October, Hudson River Adventures offers two excursions to Pollepel Island which was believed by the Native Americans to be haunted. One tour allows passengers to disembark and don hard hats to walk around the ruin of the castle that was originally constructed at the turn of the 20th century for the Bannerman family's growing military surplus business. The exterior walls of the structure served as billboards advertising the Bannerman retail store to boats passing down the river. Today the interior of the castle is not open to the public, and the only way to get up close is to take this tour. (Please note: Tour requires the climbing of 70+ stairs.)   (© 10Best)

not what i expected
if you get to travel along the Hudson River you will be definitely admired by this magnificent and intriguing sort of old castle -which is not, not a castle and not that old. this is why me and 5 friends decided to take the tour. we liked it very much, but there are 2 things i would suggest you: - before taking the ferry to the island, make sure to step into a toilette as the restrooms available in the island are totally unsanitary (it is like traveling to the poorest country on Earth just by opening the door) we were part of the first tour of the week, and also the first in line to use the facilities... - you may want to consider to row your way to the island as there is a kayak tour offering. this is definitely a plus; we all regret our laziness.
