Activity itinerary

New York City (Pass by)

Your day begins with a comfortable departure from New York City, leaving the noise of the city behind as you head towards one of North America’s greatest natural wonders. Transport is streamlined and efficient, giving you time to rest, recharge, or enjoy the changing scenery on the way to Niagara.

Maid of the Mist

30m
Admission ticket not included

Maid of The Mist (Optional Tour): This world-famous boat ride is the closest you can possibly get to the Falls. Glide across the river towards the base of Horseshoe Falls as millions of gallons crash around you every second. The mist, the roar, the sheer scale, it’s a bucket-list experience that transforms the Falls from something you see into something you feel.

Niagara Falls Observation Tower

20m
Admission ticket not included

Step out onto an elevated viewing deck that extends over the gorge, offering sweeping unobstructed views of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. It’s the best panoramic lookout on the American side and the perfect moment for dramatic photos and a true sense of the Falls’ magnitude.

Prospect Point

Prospect Point: It puts you right at the edge of the American Falls. The sound is thunderous, the energy is intense, and the views are spectacular. This is where you fully grasp the raw power of the cascades as the river plunges to the rocks below. It’s a dramatic, unforgettable angle you won’t get anywhere else.

Luna Island

Luna Island: A peaceful island tucked between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls; Luna Island gives you the rare chance to stand between two waterfalls at once. The walk is short but stunning, with mist swirling around the cliffs and water rushing past on both sides. It’s intimate, immersive, and incredibly scenic.

Bridal Veil Falls (Pass by)

This delicate yet powerful waterfall is known for its distinctive “veil-like” spray pattern. As you pass by, you’ll see how it separates from the American Falls by Luna Island, creating two dramatically different cascades only a few metres apart. Goat Island, a central piece of the Niagara landscape, Goat Island sits between the American and Horseshoe Falls. Your guide will highlight its history, scenic viewpoints, and role in shaping the surrounding waterfalls as you drive past.

Terrapin Point

15m
Admission ticket included

Located on the edge of Goat Island, Terrapin Point brings you astonishingly close to Horseshoe Falls. The viewing area offers sweeping sights of the massive curve where the water drops, making this one of the most powerful and photogenic moments of the tour.

Niagara Falls (Pass by)

Horseshoe Falls: The star of Niagara. Horseshoe Falls is the largest and most powerful of the three waterfalls, sending up a towering plume of mist visible for miles. Even from a pass-by viewpoint, its scale is breathtaking, with water crashing down in a dramatic 167-foot drop.

Three Sisters Island

Stop by the three sisters islands on the way to get closer to the falls in the winter season while maid of the mist boat schedule closed.

New York City (Pass by)

Niagara Falls to New York City: After a day of extraordinary scenery and unforgettable moments, relax on your return trip to New York City. It’s the perfect time to scroll through photos, relive your favourite viewpoints, and reflect on an experience that exceeds expectations.
