We took the cruise & walking tour. The cruise was very nice ride, and they were informative. They took us around the island to show. The tour guide was also informative. The castle was very interesting design and they maintained the garden with lots of flowers! The trails directed us to the nice view spots! It was a very nice little getaway!
What a great day on Bannerman Island. Started off with the boat on a lovely day. Smooth and safe trip to and from the island. The island itself was fascinating with a great tour. Interacting facts and a great walk through the island. Thank you to everyone who made this day interesting, historical, and all around a wonderful day!Very highly recommended!
Wonderful trip great history and an interesting format. Out boat captain Justin and First Mate Moose was FABULOUS! Gave us a great history of the waterway from back when to present. Our tour guide Adam was amazing! Ver informative, engaging and provided answers to all questions! A definite hidden gem if the Hudson Valley!
The tour of the castle was well worth it. Not only was it beautiful and scenic, but we were given a very informative history of the estate.The boat ride over was quite pleasant as well. If you have the time and are interested in learning more about the castle its well worth the time!
Start with a relaxing 30 min boat ride to the island. Be warned, once you arrive theres a 72 step staircase you must climb to meet up with your guide and see the castle and buildings. Margaret, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.
I haven’t been here yet but the place looks magnificent from the train! I can’t wait to visit here. It’s a majestic looking medieval castle from top to bottom.
We just did Bannerman Castle in the rain and loved it. The boat ride out was great with a lot of information shared about the history of the area. The tour of the island was wonderful- even with less than ideal weather. The tour guides were great, too.
Bannerman castle is a beautiful and interesting piece of history. Thanks to the boat crew that kept us safe and entertained on the way to and from the island and thank you to our guide on the island who wanted to make sure we know everything we possibly can about this place. Now we know more history behind this beautiful place and people who created this history for us to enjoy today.
Had a wonderful time touring the Bannerman Island & castle! We also love the 30 minutes boat ride to the island from Beacon. Wish we could spend more time there.
1. The tour guide is very nice, knowledgeable, gave a fun tour of history.2. The captain let four kids drive the boat a bit, that’s one of the highlights of the trip, for the kids that’s the best part of the trip.3. Highly recommended tour.
Great day taking in the scenery and learning the history of the Bannerman’s. Especially enjoyed our guide, Adam, whose knowledge was impressive and enthusiasm was contagious!Perfect day trip!
This is an incredible marvel rich with American history. The tour guides are wonderful, and it’s basically guaranteed to be a memorable experience. Well worth a visit. For young kids, it’s a little long and slow, but it’s still easy enough, and some will appreciate the natural surroundings and adventure.
A fascinating piece of history, Bannerman Castle was a delight to see in person, since Ive glimpsed it from the train many times, when on the Hudson line. It was wonderful seeing it during foliage season. The views from the island are breathtaking, particularly at sunset. You must consider wearing extra layers as it gets bitterly cold, what with it being the last tour of the year on October, 31, especially when the sun is about to set, and carry a scarf or something compact and warm to put on the metal seat of the boat that takes you to and from the island, unless you court hypothermia. On the ride back to Beacon, we were treated to a rare Full Hunters Moon, hanging buttery yellow, huge and majestic over the Hudson. I have never seen a Moon of such magnificent beauty! It even made me forget I couldnt feel my extremities for a moment. It was the absolute highlight of a very interesting day trip. Visiting Pollepel island would be a great experience in late spring or summer, as well.
- You will be quite lucky if you find your way to Bannermans Castle because you will experience a slice of the Hudson Rivers history. The decaying Castle is a very dangerous place. It had a partial collapse a few years ago. Dont enter its remains.The island may be toured by joining an expidition conducted by the Bannerman Island Trust. If you are not an adventurerer send the Trust a small donation to assist in preserving River history.To reach Pollepel, the small island where the Castle is located, one must navigate across about 1000 feet of the Hudson River from its eastern shore. The Trust arranges tours from time to time.The Castle was built by an arms and military material supply dealer, Francis Bannerman, construction beginning the year 1901 as a repository for his inventory. He also constructed a home modeling the same mideval Scottish architecture that defined the Castle. Both were products of Franciss design and imagination. Francis did not direct construction. He allowed the workmen, who had little supervision, to interpret his plans. The Castle never achieved full usage because of Franciss death. In 1920 explosion of approximately 200 pounds of live gun cartridges destroyed part of the Castle. In 1968 a fire caused more damage.Ghosts and spirits seem to be every where in addition to the multitude of Hudson River crabs that are the islands cheif inhabitents.If you decide to make the trip by yourself be certain that you have told your loved ones of your intended journey and give them a big hug because much time might pass until you see them again.
The tour we took of Bannerman Island was wonderful. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. First you take a boat ride down the river to the island, and then walk around the island to see the castle (which was used to store army supplies) and the Bannerman Family house. The paths are easy to walk on - with the exception of one part at the other side of the island thats a bit steep. However, people who didnt feel up to is simply waited at the top until the other group returned. The story of the family is interesting with lots of historical tidbits, and I really enjoyed.
The tour for Bannerman Castle is awesome from the boat ride to the actual castle! I had no idea that its historic tale connects to Brooklyn. The building is very unique, and it carries a sense of beauty despite it nearly falling apart due to time and weather. Definitely come to visit before time and nature takes over this beautiful landmark.
Well preserved historical structure, every part of this island is picturesque, very happy to have set my foot in the premise of this castle. Went from Beacon side, metro north station and/or parking is directly across street of the pier.
Went to the Island to movie night. Saw the so lame its good movie Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure. Guides very knowledgeable and Island has a gift shop and there were plenty of chairs and tables to sit around during the performance. There was a gift shop with t shirts and photographs and variety of movie food and drink for sale.Great fun and with a date it could have been romantic. Disabled be warned their are a lot of steep stairs. Stairs are wood and uniform not rickety but lots of them.
If you are in to beautiful scenery and history yuh ou should visit the island. Great tour guides. Best time of day is when you can catch the sunset.
Interesting trip 🙂 you going there by small boat which is great because you can enjoy a little breeze and beautiful views, then you get off the island and gett a funny, nice guide to tour you through the history about the Bannerman Island. Lovely views and great people❤🙏
If you just want to take a look at the island, there is a observation deck close to the walkway bridge over the train track. Otherwise you needs to book the boat at beacon, or kayaking to the island.
My mistress of the dark bought tickets to the production of Dracula. A evening ferry brought us over just at sundown to experience a open theater under the stars. This seven character play was wonderful. A up close rendition of the age old tale of Count Dracula. Renfield was amazing, goosebumps. The island is totally worthly of a visit, tour or movie.
Exciting place to visit. Full of history with very knowledgeable staff! Wonderful concert today on Harp by Thistle! Great ferry ride over and back with Captain Justin and First Mate Moose! Very safe excellent boat handling and safe docking in rough conditions! Never a worry! Great local knowledge and info on the trip over to the island too! Great outing for the day!
An unexpected find! We were looking for something new to do and somehow this came up. With only one week left in the season the boat ride was chilly, but the grounds, gardens and buildings were fun. A little weird architecturally, but definitely worth the trip. The guides are very friendly and really know their stuff.
Go here! It is sooo worth the cost and time. The tour guide knows his stuff and adores this place and its history.
Great experience. Beautiful island. Great history
The island is definitely worth the visit. Beautiful garden, interesting story, smooth and well organized ride to and from. I wish the tour (talking) part was a bit shorter and not so boring, and we could have more time to enjoy the island.
What an amazing place to visit here in the hudson valley. The castle and island history are fascinating. Really enjoyed the gardens, well maintained and full of monarch butterflies! There is a cute giftshop and they have cold drinks and snacks too. Staff and tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable.
My husband and I, plus our teenaged son and his girlfriend, took a day trip from upstate to Bannerman Castle. What a perfect excursion! We enjoyed a beautiful and informative boat ride, and an inspiring tour of the island. The history, ingenuity and creativity found here in the story of Bannerman castle is truly inspiring and a testament to the tenacity and grit of our forebears. The dedication and passion of our young tour guide, Adam, made history come alive, and made for a very lively and entertaining afternoon tour. The gardens were lovely and the butterflies were bountiful. Thanks for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. Well done!
Probably not for small children - they may get bored. Nice boat ride out and interesting history about the island.
A must see for Hudson Valley tourists! The organization is doing everything it can to maintain the castle and residence. I went in the fall and it was so gorgeous!
Very rude. Mostly everything is roped off they wont let you near the castle to take a picture. The staff is in plain clothing so you dont know who they are until they actually yell at you for walking the wrong direction on the path. The place lost its beauty with these people making money on the island. Its a total scam. Theyre doing more harm to the island than good.
Amazing place - the guides are so knowledgeable...Wear sturdy sneakers - be prepared to walk on some rough paths. Its doable as long as you dont have serious mobility issues.You can buy drinks on the island. And there are toilets. Tip the boat captain and crew.
The tour was amazing. Not too pricy and very informative
Fun time. Amazing tour guid (Adam), fun boat crew. Would recommend!!!
Surprised at how much I enjoyed the tour of Bannerman Castle. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and the tour guides are passionate about the history!
What an Awesome tour! I flew my drone around the island several years ago and now I was able to be on the island and see it close up. Highly recommend taking the tour.
Very unique, great tour, highly recommended
Beautiful day. Tour requires climbing many steps and steep rocky paths, so not suitable for people who have mobility issues.
Wonderful experience! Knowledgeable, awesome staff - both on the island and the boat, beautiful views, gorgeous gardens with tons of monarch butterflies and rich in history. Definitely recommend this place.
A quick stop-over at a surprisingly quaint little castle. You could go inside the property for some interesting artefacts on display, but we spent most of our time outside in the gardens. Has a great view of the Hudson from its upper balcony. Dont forget to peek into the little grand central terminal - a train stop made for the mini train that used to run through the property
A fun remnant of what seems like a more fun time in nyc history. can you imagine all the nimbys today if someone wanted to pull of this kind of stunt?
Adam was a fantastic guide. Bannerman was brought alive to all of us and the guides enthusiasm and knowledge were impressive. To think a sophomore in high school could be so enthusiastic made the experience a great one for all of us.
We loved our trip to Bannerman. Because of Covid there was some hypersensitivity from staff regarding safety/procedure.They rely on a few posted signs and volunteers to wrangle people.We didnt realize the tour was mandatory and we assumed we could freely explore the island by ourselves for the 1.5 hours we had(our own inaccurate expectations). The first 30-45ish minutes youre required to stay with the guide for a historic tour.The island is so beautifully cared for and loved by the volunteers and staff.Overall it was educational and beautiful. Id like to return once Covid restrictions are lessened to see if the experience is more relaxed/focused on personal exploration.
Amazing place and people that maintain it. What a unique, historical place. A must visit.
Definitely worth the time and money! Tour guides were very knowledgable on the island and castle. Boat ride was nice and the mountain views were incredible. Highly recommend.
It’s a really cool and unique place.
Bannermans Island is the key to seeking Enlightenment in the Hudson Valley. Portals cover the island. They are strategic locations for all Ingress Agents.
This was an excellent day on the Hudson River. The day began with a boat ride to the island where the remains of the castle stand. We meandered the grounds with our tour guide Steve, who provided an entertaining and informative narration of a weird (to me) and yet fascinating nugget of both NY and American history. For those who have taken Amtrak or MetroNorth along the Hudson, this tour will fill in the blanks.
I kayaked around the island today. Amazing views and a cool spot!
I hate history lessons! But even I was totally enthralled. This is worth the $. Things you cannot see from land.
Great spot to visit and walk around. Beautiful views of the Hudson and well kept gardens too.
Enjoyed the tour with our tour guide, Adam, he is really knowledgeable and passionate about the island, and the boat time with captains is lovely, the best seats are at the front of the ferry, next to the captain.
Amazing history behind this beautiful site and the views are amazing
That Castle u always wondered about offers tours +. Courtesy boat trip with Nice Crew, tour very informative and today Sunset Blvd live radio play (bravissimo) they have a gift shop w/ delicious empanadas & sandwiches!
A nice tour, but I didnt think it was a must-see. Its a beautiful island if you just want to wander by yourself, but right now they are only doing tours
Very well organized and we had a good time. Boat left on time and on the island the guide was very knowledgeable.
Great experience. I grew up in the Hudson valley always wondering what was here, and I got to see it. Knowlegable staff.
Bannerman Castle Trust Inc. provides a great service! Book a tour with them to see Bannerman Castle and you wont regret it! The boat ride was relaxing and safe. The tour of the island is about an hour and half and its plenty of time to learn about the rich history and explore.They have a beautiful pollinator garden which is cared for by a few volunteers, which I also admired and loved (so many butterflies around the castle made it truly magical!) Bannerman Castle is truly the gem of the Hudson --we are so thankful to the staff for preserving it and would love to go back soon!
Great place to spend part of my birthday weekend.
Worst experience ever! They sell a expensive dinner in the castle for charity. I understand the money goes to a good cause but they need to put more effort serving people. We got there and the placed us at the worst tables, nobody care about us like for 30 mins until someone notice that we were there, they brought the “dinner” wich was just a bag with cold food. So if you are expecting a romantic castle island dinner this is not the place.
Cool place, my kids had fun exploring the island, the ships captain was very knowledgeable of the Hudson River history
Historical monuments, majestic.
Ridiculous cancellation policy and will not let you reschedule even if there are openings later on; now will have to eat 84 dollars. Make sure you are certain you can designate that time to go! Captain runs a tight castle.
Ive known about Bannermans Castle for years and have always wanted to visit, but never seemed to find the time. So, when my birthday weekend arrived this year, I chose it as my birthday adventure and was not disappointed!I purchased tickets a week in advance, and that was almost too late. These tours sell out fast! Luckily, I was able to get 3 tickets for the 11AM Saturday tour.The boat ride to the island was fun, and the captain gave a lot of great information about the towns we were passing. The river was where we wanted to be on such a hot day!We arrived on the island and were split into 2 groups. Our tour guide was Abby, a fun and informative guide who took the time to answer questions and point out things people expressed an interest in. The tour was well paced with tons of information.My only regret is that the tour takes you to the gift shop kind of in the middle of the tour, and theres no time to go back, so if you dont purchase your souvenirs then, you have no other opportunities. Im a postcard junky, so Im bummed I didnt get to add to my collection.Over all it was well worth the price for the tour. Interesting, informative, and unique!
Interesting stuff!
Beautiful day on the Hudson. Lots of boats. Island in bloom. Lots of butterflies butterflies.
Wonderful experience so glad we were given this as a gift. I highly recommend this to everyone
The boat ride out was extremely pleasant and all of the guides and staff were not only extremely pleasant but they knew their information and were passionate about it!The island is beautiful and becoming more so with all of the work that is being done.
Nice outing for the family. Beautiful scenery from the castle. Nice tour to do if you are in the area
We had a great time and learned about the history of the island and castle. Te crew members were excellent and the views are incredible. Highly recommend 🏰🏝
We were there to see a Show, Dracula. It was very entertaining and it is Awesome that live shows are being shown from that Amazing Historical Castle. It was an Awesome experience. Will definitely be back. They also gave an interesting tour.👍
Fun visit! The only thing I will say is that after the tour, they allow you to freely walk the grounds but there is only so much to see so you wind up making laps
Awesome tour, lots of fun. They have a gift shop now. Tour guides and boat crew were great. They need a snack bar out there that serves burgers.
Very interesting to hear the history of this place. Fun to get to explore this place. Boat ride was fun.
An island in the middle of the Hudson acquired by an enterprising Scottish immigrant, considered by many to be the father of gun collecting. Fascinating backstory. Gorgeous views. Privately maintained. Worth the tour.
Only certain times of year they give tours of this place and its only accessible via kayak or private boat. You can go as a party of one or a group the company has boats to accomodate for this. Overall great place for photographers and beautiful historical oasis
Great history, amazing views went to the 6pm tour, perfect to see the sunsets. Store was close to buy keepsakes otger than that is was a good blast of the past still standing.
Its been a long time since we visited the island. Amazing work has been done. Kudos to everyone who worked on and behind the scenes.
Wonderfully built and maintained island home with a sadly dilapidated castle with a tragic but interesting backstory with a good amount of local and foreign history, friendly tour guides and picturesque views for people of any age. I heard that they also do plays! Overall, 10/10
Bannermans Castle is a fascinating place. Its fun to go on the tour and learn the history. For the past two years weve been attending plays there that are fundraisers for its preservation.
I liked the tree next to the grass by the water closest to the stairs just before the bush left of the place where it started. Great tree and very well maintained ...
Loved it was there way back 1976 on a camping trip went up Hudson looking for place to put a s tent and have the boat safeBam the island with its own harbor at hi tide pierA mote draw bridge down yes but stillAnd a Castle
The Bannerman Castle Trust is one of our partners. They do a great job maintaining Pollepel Island and Bannermans Castle. An asset to our region!
Great get out of new york activity. Tickets can be booked online . There is a small gift shop and out door toilets on the island so eat and go to toilet before going out to the island .
Its devastating to see gorgeous history ignored and left to decay for decades to the edge of nonexistence before someone actually cared.If every person who visit would donate the cost of a bag of mortar, it would go a long way in supporting whats left of the gorgeous hystorical structure.
Beautiful island with a rich and interesting history. Tour was wonderful
Fun fact. Bannerman purchased the island in November 1900,[2][3][9] for use as a storage facility for his growing surplus business.[11] Because his storeroom in New York City was not large enough to provide a safe location to store thirty million surplus munitions cartridges,[9] in the spring of 1901 he began to build an arsenal on Pollepel.
Had a truly awful experience dealing with them. Arrived on time but the boat had left early , and they would do nothing. A long drive and a bunch of money very casually stolen from us- a real bummer.
Pictures needed more information.Videos were short or not even working.Could have been SOOOOOOOOOO much better than they were!
Very cool from the boat ride to the island tour. Tour guides were very nice and knowledgeable. Perfect for pictures
Wonderful day trip! The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining.Fascinating local and international history.
What an amazing place!!!! My first time here and its beauty wrapped in amazement. I urge everyone to take the tour! It will blow your mind!
The Tour Guides were amazing
One of New York States hidden treasure! Its such a magnificent experience exploring the island and learning its interesting history.

We did the tour and loved it!!! I want to come back and see a show here. It was lovely.
Had a ball. Great outing!!
OMG! This was so much fun. There tour was will organized and it was a beautiful day. What a great trip :)
Interesting place. The grounds are well kept with lots of flowers
This place is a hidden treasure! Just make sure you book early on the weekend as the ferries fill up quickly.
Great N.Y. historical information
Patrick O’Leary is the guy who google street view it. So I’m thankful, with out him I would never have found this place. He’s also on instagram (patrick_oleary_art. )
Ive always loved this castle and the tour was well worth the trip!
Fun trip into history. Staff couldnt be more lovely
If you a lover of history then you must visit the Bannerman castle...40min on the Hudson Metronorth...ferry to the island and the rest is History
Very nice place to hike for the whole family
Pure magic resides here.
Why is it so expensive to visit publicly owned property?
Very nice tourWalking and stairs are a must.
The captain and crew Moose were great
Its such a great historical place to visit in the Hudson Valley.
Such a great island to tour and learn history.
Beautiful

Very interesting local history tours.
Perfect quick getaway with beautiful gardens and stunning views.
WOW!!! Thats All That I Can Say...
First there.Interesting placeMy tour guide Wes was very knowledgeable.
Great timeFriendly peopleYou need to be physically fit to climb
You cant go on the island any more, on your own !
Great to actually get on to this island that I had only seen from shore.
Boondoggle! Historical significance is marginal, tours are overpriced.
Saw this from the train and was like, “Yo! That place looks fake!” Need to come back and explore this place!
Such an interesting place. Will definitely be going back.
My property now. Hahahahahaha.
Really nice castle in upstate new york
Beautiful. Worth visiting.
Feels like been in Europe but the history is so American, worth it.
If you like stuff like this, youll like this trip.
Scottish style castle on a New York island!
Terrific journey! Highly recommended!

An imposing abandoned castle (one hour from the city)Located on Pollepel Island, in the middle of the waters of the famous Hudson River, it is also known as Bannerman Island. Beyond its austere natural beauty, what calls us to see ourselves in this area is this building that knew how to be a warehouse where military surpluses were kept. Thirty million cartridges and ammunition were stored in what is now an imposing abandoned castle. Bannerman (owner of the company) himself designed the castle, although soon after it was completed, a series of unfortunate explosions and fires ended the building. Interesting.
Once there was a very beautiful castle. An interesting story of the castle and the arsenal, it was destroyed by lightning, ships.
Agradável
Mysterious island!

2022-06-13Wonderful tour. Lots of interesting history provided by our first mate Moose and tour guide Mary. Boat Captain Justin also made the trip fun. I loved the island, especially exploring the trails. We went with my sister who was in from California. It was a great way to spend the day!

2022-05-17Enjoyed the view from the viewing platform near the Breakneck Ridge Train stop. Interesting to see and the view from a distance satisfied my curiosity. Pictures are just with my cell phone, a zoom lens would do wonders. Id visit the island if I wanted to do a photo shoot.

2022-06-17Heres what I wish I knew: Park in the station parking lot even though it says permit parking only!! The ferry leaves exactly at the time that the tour begins. The people working here are what really make this place worth it. The boat staff were really funny and point out cool stuff along the river, the tour guides are very knowledgeable and welcoming, and the gardeners have done an amazing job 💕 The tour consists of a guided tour and then you get 30-45 minutes to explore the island on your own. There are really just two little trails that loop, but you really should wear appropriate shoes. The stairs have railings to hold on to and a resting area half way, but you will have to step on to the ferry and there are many places throughout the island where you could lose your balance. You can purchase some things with cash only inside the residence building, and yes, there are bathrooms 👌 In the end, 10/10 would recommend!

2022-01-22Highly recommended for local history folks or anyone looking for a relatively easy hike around a small mountain with some picturesque scenery.Its probably New Yorks closest thing to a lasting castle from the early 20th century. The castle is maintained by the state and a local family, so the cost of the boat ride is fairly cheap at $35. It is advised to arrive 30 minutes before departure as they will leave on-time if youre taking your sweet time.The island has a group of volunteers who help maintain the gardens, so if possible, contribute through donations to keep the services intact. Definitely would be a loss to New Yorks local history if the island loses its value as a historical site.

2022-06-19Awesome day trip, made even better by Adam’s great tour around the historical site. Will be recommending to anyone looking to get out of the city for the day. The MTA takes you right to the ferry, so all in, not hard at all to get to

2022-05-21Really beautiful place to visit. You have to buy tickets in advance. There are some short hikes inside the island. We had a guided tour, it was great to learn a lot of history about the island.
Review №7
2022-05-20Fascinating 3 hour trip to a place largely forgotten by history. Francis Bannermans story is a unique one. Our tour guide Adam was very knowledgeable and entertaining. You could tell the history of this island and the Bannerman family was personal to him. Great visit, highly recommended to anyone in the area with an interest in history or architecture.

2021-10-13Very positive experience! Great boat trip with alot of scenic views, friendly and knowledgable staff. The island with its castles is very picturesque, and gave me a feeling of Scotland more than Upstate NY. The guide tour was interesting and very cortous. There are restrooms all on the island as well. Overall great time spent!

2022-06-05What a great time! Justin, our ferry captain, and John, his first mate + historian, were the perfect start to this adventure + gave us a smooth ride to the island and lots of great info along the way. Once we arrived, our guide, Adam, was a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much. The island itself is rugged and we had a great time exploring on our own after the tour. Definitely recommend a visit to Bannerman Island!
