Magellan and Greyhound | Governors Island, New York - 26 Things to Do! (NYC Travel Guide) @MagellanandGreyhound | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Governors Island, just a short ferry ride from NYC, is a great place for hiking, biking, glamping and picnicking with stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, the fabled Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor. Whether you want to tour the historical fortifications and buildings on this national monument, go down New York City's longest slide, go for a morning run, or simply want to enjoy some good eats while you, Governors Island has just about something for everyone, whether a local or traveling from elsewhere. It's also pretty cheap, especially if you bring your own food, with a $4 fare for the ferry. We hope you enjoy our travel guide!
