There are many destinations in the Northeast United States that only get better as the air grows brisk and hit their peak as the leaves change colors. Viator, a TripAdvisor company and the leading resource for researching and booking tours and activities worldwide, has a selection of tours and activities that give travelers and locals the best seat in the house to enjoy Mother Nature’s stunning autumn shades.
Massachusetts
Enjoy the scenic countryside and a visit to an apple orchard during the Fall Foliage Sightseeing Tour from Boston with scenery filled with tranquil ponds, working farms, colonial churches, weathered taverns and colorful woodland, with many photo stops along the way. See Boston’s most famous green spaces in a very “green” way during the Fall Foliage Bike Ride in Boston. The ride includes local gems including the famous Emerald Necklace system of parks, Boston Common and Public Garden, Charles River Esplanade, views of Cambridge, Harvard, MIT and more. Combining nature with history, the Fall on Cape Cod: Day Trip from Boston with Sightseeing Cruise visits to the Adams Mansion, the birthplaces of two American presidents; a memorial to John F Kennedy in Hyannis Port; and Sandwich, the oldest town on the cape, followed by a relaxing and colorful sightseeing cruise on Lewis Bay.
New York State and Washington, DC
The Adirondacks are synonymous with autumn and the Saratoga and North Creek Fall Foliage Scenic Train Ride encompasses both with a train ride along the upper Hudson River. Seven stops along the way allow travelers to shop, dine or visit a maple farm, and several ticket options make it easy to customize a fall getaway. The Circle Line: Bear Mountain Full-Day Cruise is a leisurely excursion from New York City up the Hudson River while sampling German beer and food at the Onboard Oktoberfest. Three hours of free time at Bear Mountain allow travelers to enjoy hiking and boating, visit the zoo and ride the carousel. For a bird’s-eye view of the beauty, the Hudson Valley Fall Foliage Helicopter Tour soars above the picturesque Hudson River valley, coated in the brilliant colors of autumn leaves. Travelers can choose from a 30-minute or 45-minute flight.
The Washington DC Fall Foliage Day Cruise onboard a double-decker boat with panoramic windows takes travelers along the Potomac River past DC’s most famous monuments, parks and landmarks, including the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
