Open at all times

See the schedule for island hours.

Tours are offered sea­son­al­ly and will return in Spring of 2026.

Look into the past of Gov­er­nors Island and learn about its excit­ing trans­for­ma­tion and future. In these free one-hour walk­ing tours led by Gov­er­nors Island Guides, you’ll exam­ine how his­toric preser­va­tion, inno­v­a­tive design, and envi­ron­men­tal stew­ard­ship make the Island what it is today: one of the most unique pub­lic places in New York City.

All walk­ing tours begin at Sois­sons Land­ing and are led by vol­un­teer tour guides, weath­er per­mit­ting. First come, first served.
