Sunset Tree Swallow Sails on Onrust and RiverQuest

Join us aboard Onrust as we sail to a special spot on the Connecticut River where 100’s of thousands of Tree Swallows gather.

Join us aboard Onrust as we sail to a special spot on the Connecticut River where 100’s of thousands of Tree Swallows gather. After spending the day miles away, the swallows return each night to sleep in the reeds. They gather at sunset and perform aerial ballets forming an amazing display of art, coordination and cooperation!

Enjoy the entire evening! We will spend 2+ hours on the water aboard Onrust.

This sail is primarily to see the Tree Swallows, however, it is also about the journey….there is so much to see while sailing along the river.

This is a small group experience that is unique each sailing. The captain and crew promise a great evening for all to enjoy the Tree Swallow show and this special time on the pristine Connecticut River!
