About

Your day will begin with an early morning departure from Times Square in Manhattan. You’ll travel by comfortable motor coach, with your bilingual tour guide, enjoying the scenic landscape of upstate New York (travel time is approximately 7-8 hours, each way, with one rest stop) on your journey north.

Upon arrival at your destination, you will begin experiencing the adventure, beauty, and natural wonder of the Niagara Falls on board of the historic Maid of the Mist boat cruise or, when the Maid of the Mist is not running, from other observation points such as George Walk or others available based on the weather conditions.

During your visit, you will learn about the interesting history of these mighty waters and enjoy spectacular views of the falls from different vantage points. You will have the opportunity for lunch on your own, souvenir shopping, and exploring the beautiful Niagara Falls State Park. After an unforgettable experience and wonderful memories, relax on board your comfortable motor coach for the return to Times Square in Manhattan, arriving back between 11pm-midnight.

Please note: The Maid of the Mist boat cruise operates seasonally, usually between May and October (exact dates are subject to ice conditions) and is replaced in the off-season, depending on accessibility, by views from other observation points such as george walk, Terrapin Point or others (access is subject to ice and weather conditions). The day’s itinerary is subject to traffic conditions and may be modified due to time constraints. When necessary in the spring and summer, ponchos are provided (you may get a little wet!).

Don’t forget to take photos, as not only do our guides like having their picture taken, but you will also want to capture each incredible moment of your tour in order to share your personal experience with friends via social media, or with family back home. For your comfort, we personally recommend wearing comfortable clothing and walking shoes while on tour.

If you'd rather skip the Maid of the Mist boat ride, you can still have a fulfilling experience by using our audio guide, offered in English, Spanish, and Chinese, and enjoy more information regarding the park during your bus trip.
