Niagara Falls - New York

New York City - Niagara Falls consists of three waterfalls at the southern end of Niagara Gorge, spanning the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA. Formed by the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario before flowing out to the Atlantic via the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, the combined falls have the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America with a vertical drop of more than 50 meters (160 feet).

Over 6 million cubic feet (168,000 cubic meters) of water flow over the crest line of the falls every minute during peak daytime tourist hours.

Amazing Niagara Falls - We enjoyed the Cave of the Winds by being so close to the falls. The Maid of the Mist was also a thrill. Also, the fireworks at the festival of lights was spectacular. We saw a lot within 2 days.

Most incredible time visiting the Niagara - The tour was incredible! Very well organised and our guide, Gladys, really was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Super knowledgeable about all the best photo spots/ viewing spots for the Falls and the fireworks in the evening, and she’s a great photographer too! Everything was seamless and we would definitely come back to Jupiter Legend for another tour.

An ok trip, could improve - Overall ok trip. They cover all the places but not enough time to take pictures etc. I guess that’s expected when you are traveling with a big group. Accommodation is at a motel red roof inn and will usually they charge $24 extra for the whole trip on top of actual charge as a convenience fee. I would say book it if you can’t drive or new to the city. Also you have to pay entry fee for places to your tour guide upfront so they book it altogether for boat rides and everything.
