$132 per person (credit card preferred)

Trade your to-do list for a day of autumn bliss! Join us for a bus trip as we escape the everyday for a relaxing day of nature and scenic views.

First, we'll take a relaxing luncheon cruise on Lake Hopatcong. You'll board the Miss Lotta, a 57-foot Skipperliner cruise ship, featuring a climate-controlled lower deck and an open-air upper deck, ensuring a comfortable experience no matter the weather.  Enjoy a scenic ride on New Jersey's largest lake, complete with a delicious buffet lunch and dessert. 

Afterward, we'll head to the Frelinghuysen Arboretum, where you can explore 127 acres of stunning landscapes. This former country estate features a Colonial Revival mansion, woodlands, meadows, and a variety of gardens, including a beautiful rose garden and a unique conifer collection. There are also self-guided trails to explore at your leisure. The arboretum is home to nearly 2,000 specimen trees and is a regional center for horticultural activities.
