Your tour of Niagara Falls, USA begins with being picked up from your hotel. Your guide will then bring you to your first attraction, the famous Maid of the Mist. Before you board, you’ll can check out the spectacular view from the Prospect Point Observation Tower, located directly above the boarding site for the Maid of the Mist boat tour.
While you’re on the Maid of the Mist, you’ll experience incredible up-close views of the Falls and hear the thunderous roars of the rushing waterfalls. You may get a bit wet, but don’t worry, you will be given with a rain poncho for this boat cruise.
Your next stop is a visit to Goat Island which connects to Luna Island and Terrapin. Here you’ll learn about the history of the Falls, see the Nikola Tesla monument overlooking the Falls, and get very close to the Bridal Veil Falls which are situated between Luna Island and Goat Island.
After Goat Island, you’ll visit Cave of the Winds, descend 175ft. into the Niagara Gorge and follow a series of walkways leading to the “Hurricane Deck”. Standing only a few feet away from the Bridal Veil Falls, it will feel like you’re surrounded by tropical storm-like conditions, even if it’s calm out.
Following your visit to Cave of the Winds, you’ll hop aboard a Rainbow Air helicopter for an unforgettable ride above Niagara Falls, the gorge and surrounding area.
At the end of your Niagara Falls tour, your guide will bring you back to your hotel.
