Statue City Cruises: Liberty Island 
Description
The only authorised company that is allowed to land on Liberty island with regular departures from the Battery in New York, as well as from New Jersey. Ferries depart from New York and stop first at Liberty Island, after spending time on the island you catch the next available sailing over to Ellis Island and can spend time there before catching a ferry back to New York (From New Jersey they run first to Ellis then to Liberty and back to New Jersey). Your ticket includes access to the two islands so it makes sense to get off, but you could just use it as a simple cruise round this part of the upper bay. Tickets for the ferry do sell out, but you can usually still buy a day or so before your visit, though you may be limited to which time ferry you can get. If you want to take any of the organised tours, or visit the Pedestal or Crown of the statue you need to book several weeks in advance. All tickets for access to the Pedestal or Crown are timed and you need to be at the ferry terminal about 30 minutes ahead of the time on your ticket to pass through security and get over to Liberty Island
Charge
Charge, best booked well in advance (at least 4 weeks)
