Explore the American side of the falls
This 5-hour tour whisks you away for a whirlwind adventure to the Niagara Falls. Your guide will lead you to the Maid of the Mist boat cruise. Stand where few can, atop the Prospect Point Observation Tower, the only point on the American side where you can see the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. If the Maid of the Mist isn't running, dive into the wonders of the deep with a visit to the Niagara Falls Aquarium, encountering the aquatic life that thrives beneath the falls. Your guide will then lead you to Goat Island, where you can watch the Bridal Veil Falls. Named for its delicate, veil-like cascade, the Bridal Veil Falls is a captivating contrast to the Horseshoe Falls' raw power. Take photos of the monument dedicated to Tesla, who was one of the first to harness the hydroelectric power of the falls. Throughout the tour, your guide will share local stories and legends such as those of the daredevils who risked jumping off the falls. They'll also ensure you see the best viewpoints.
Enjoy different perspectives of the falls
Unleash your inner adventurer with an up-close encounter at the Cave of the Winds. Descend 175 feet into the heart of the Niagara Gorge and feel the earth tremble beneath your feet as you navigate wooden walkways towards the Hurricane Deck. For a different perspective, witness the raw power of the Niagara River at Whirlpool State Park, where the water churns and twists with astonishing force. Finally, soar above it all on an exhilarating helicopter ride, capturing the grandeur of the falls from a bird's-eye view. Every moment of this unforgettable journey is yours to savor, with hassle-free transportation included.
