Tiohero Tours is an independent branch of Cayuga Wooden Boatworks Inc., a waterfront business specializing in boatbuilding and restoration and currently operating from two locations on Cayuga Lake, New York.

Tiohero Tours will offer daily historical narrated lake tours originating from both our home dock at 435 Old Taughannock Blvd. and from the  Ithaca Farmers Market  at Steamboat Landing. See schedule or call toll free 1-866-846-4376 for information and reservations.

Tiohero Tours hopes to raise public awareness of water quality issues affecting beautiful Cayuga Lake.  With this in mind, we are committed
keeping our own impact on the lake to a minimum while providing as much opportunity for hands on education with the least impact on the lake as possible.

Our efforts towards this goal include using bio-diesel fuel made from a mixture of diesel and plant oils.  Additionally, we are using a biodegradable
antifouling paint on Haendel's bottom rather than the traditional toxic copper based bottom paints that are currently widely used in the marine
industry.  The new biodegradable paint we are using is the first of its kind in the US.  We hope its use catches on!!

Tiohero Tours will work closely with schools and organizations to develop a set of educational, research and commercial programs and will strongly encourage the use of the vessel as a platform from which groups or individuals can launch their own research projects.  Tiohero Tours also  offers the floating classroom as an interesting option for tourists and visitors .
