Sourced Adventures - New York, New York

Well organized and great vibes . We got to the tubing slopes and jumped right in. The dinner afterwards was also very nice and good farm-to-table food. Kaya and Michael were great and so helpful. Can’t wait to go again!

Our group of 5 had a blast on this trip! Our guides, Sunny, Daniel and Amber, were excellent! Our bus driver was great too.

There was a bit of (ok, a LOT of) rain toward the tail end of the trip, including on the river. It was honestly super fun and magical to experience but it did create some challenges for other folks on our tour, as the current quickly picked up speed and visibility was poor at times. (PSA: Stay to the RIGHT of the island!)

HIGHLY recommend bringing a few carabiners to make sure all your gear is clipped onto your tubes. I think a few people on the tour lost something if it wasn't secured (we almost did!). Ropes are technically not allowed to bind your group together. We found success with using our dry bag shoulder straps with carabiners to connect the 5 of us. This way it was an easy disconnect at the end of the float (no loops or knots to undo)!

Shoutout to the guides for doing their best to keep everyone safe and on-track. Everyone made it back onto the bus!

Lunch was not the most exciting part of the day but the brewery we visited afterward (Drowned Lands) had pretty fantastic food so we got some to snack on.

I plan on doing this trip next year and highly recommend to anyone who wants to spend some time in nature without needing to rent a car and deal with logistics.

My only recommendation for Sourced Adventure: Up the game a bit on the lunch offering. 😉

We had a nice time! We previously went river tubing and this time we went snow tubing. It’s a great resource for taking a day trip outside the city without all the planning, car rental, etc. The timing is perfect, doesn’t feel rushed, it’s a lot of fun, comfortable ride, friendly staff! I do recommend.

I loved my experience the tour guides Joe and Mike were incredible. Even the bus driver Andre was nice. I would love to have the same crew again when I try to book for the snowboarding in the winter

My sister and I absolutely loved our first wine tasting experience at three of the long island wineries. We are even more delighted we chose the Soutce to guide us. The staff was amazing and the properties were just beautiful!! We are looking forward to the other activities and events the Source has to offer. I just have to mention that Maggie and Mike were absolutely the best!! They made the experience even more pleasant. Can't wait for the next adventure 😊

We had so much fun on this trip! Wish we would have brought a little more alcohol and some snacks but we will next time!!! We went tubing and it was absolutely beautiful. A couple places were too shallow and we had to drag the tubes but I will definitely go again. Guides were very friendly, bus driver was great too. A very good deal including transportation in and out of the city.

As someone who doesn't drive, having round trip transportation to out of state excursions is really awesome and Sourced Adventures is no different. We did NYC to PA for river rafting. The bus ride was good, we had fun white water rafting, and the bus ride back was fine. Just note you're on the river for a LOOOOONG time, lol.

There were some cons/annoyances that I feel should be noted and corrected for future reference. Our email said pickup was at 7am and to arrive 15 minutes early. We did that. The bus was a little late(not an issue) but what was an issue was 95% of us were on the bus and we ended up waiting 30+ minutes for ONE person running behind. It ended up setting the day back and made us late. If that person wasn't gonna make 7am, that's not the burden of 60+ people who did arrive on time. I understand waiting 10 min, but 30?

The bus had a speaker/intercom for our guides to speak through but rarely used it. We missed a lot of vital info because they often spoke loud enough for the first few rows and that's it. If you have the option, use it.

Once we got to the camp, it was very disorganized and by the time we got everything settled, my patience was no where to be found. We likely missed information because of the whole not hearing it thing, but we didn't even know what to ask for to fix anything. For example, we were told we needed to pick up a life vest and a bus pass to get to the river.

We go get our life vest, they tell us we need the bus pass first. OK. We go to a station to get the pass, the people were asking us for info we did not have(what group team/color, names etc) we later find out we get the bus pass from our guides, as a group, then get our vests, as a group.

The guides were fine and nice(maybe too nice) but felt they couldn't keep control of the group at times and could be more assertive.

Overall, I do recommend them. It was still fun and we got what we paid for. The camp it's stationed at was awesome and had lots of food and snack options.

Went for another trip to Pennings Apple Picking, had a great time. The bus will leave on time so you have to get there early, they don't play. Everything was organized with no delays. We got the 10lb bag and our drink vouchers as soon as we got off the bus, walk around was 4 hours and we left for the pumpkin patch which was shorter for about an hour. Everyone was lovely and friendly, and respected the driver.
