Highlights
  • 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 renowned for offering one of the most breathtaking views of both the American and Canadian Falls.

After visiting the Tesla statue, your guide will take you to Luna Island, which separates the American and Bridal Veil Falls. Originally named Prospect Island, it was renamed for the famous lunar rainbows that appear over it on bright, moonlit nights.

  • Cave of the Winds - At Cave of the Winds, you’ll descend into the Niagara Gorge before navigating a series of walkways leading to the famous “hurricane deck.” Even on a clear, calm day, a visit to the hurricane deck feels like standing in the middle of a tropical storm!

For those opting for the optional Maid of the Mist boat ride instead, your guide will take you to the Prospect Point Observation Tower for an up-close look at the Falls before heading down to the boarding site for the iconic Maid of the Mist boat ride.

For those not continuing with the optional Cave of the Winds or Maid of the Mist visit, your guide will conclude the tour, provide directions to return to your vehicle, and offer recommendations for things to do in the area. You can then spend the rest of the day exploring Niagara Falls, New York.

  • 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. Located on the American side of the border, it provides 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.
  • Three Sisters Island - Your tour will then continue to the Three Sisters Islands. Connected by bridges, these islands 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 inspired many artists with their natural beauty.
  • Maid of the Mist - Head to the famous Maid of the Mist, where you can also check out the view from the Prospect Point Observation Tower. Your tour will conclude, and you and your guide will part ways.
