Itinerary

  • Goat Island

    On your walking tour of Niagara Falls, NY , your guide will meet you at the Sitting Nikola Tesla Statue near the goat island parking lot. Goat Island is well known for having one of the most magnificent views of both the American and Canadian Falls. After visiting the Tesla statue, your guide will bring you to The next stop on your tour will be Luna Island which separates the American and Bridal Veil Falls. This Island was originally called Prospect Island but it was renamed for the famous lunar rainbows that appear over it on bright, moonlit nights.

    30 minutes
  • Cave of the Winds

    At Cave of the Winds you’ll descend into the Niagara Gorge before embarking on a series of walkways leading to the famous “hurricane deck”. It has been said that even on a clear, calm day, a trip to the hurricane deck feels like you’re standing in the middle of a tropical storm! For those who choose to continue with the optional Maid of the Mist boat ride instead, your guide will bring you to the Prospect Point Observation Tower for an up-close look at the Falls.

    1 hour

  • Terrapin Point

    Terrapin Point is a scenic observation area on Goat Island in Niagara Falls State Park, offering stunning views of the Horseshoe Falls, one of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. It is located on the American side of the border, providing a vantage point to see the powerful cascade of water and the mist that rises from the falls. Renovated several times, it features accessible walkways and viewing platforms for visitors to enjoy the natural spectacle up close.

    15 minutes
  • Three Sisters Island

    Your tour will then continue onward to the Three Sisters Islands. The islands are connected by bridges which allow pedestrians to walk across all three for grand views of the raging rapids of the Niagara River before its descent into the Horseshoe Falls. The Three Sisters Islands have served as an inspiration for many artists because of their natural beauty.

    45 minutes
  • The Maid of the Mist is a popular boat tour that takes visitors on a journey close to the base of Niagara Falls, offering an exhilarating experience with up-close views of the American and Horseshoe Falls.
