Falling Waters Boat Tours operates out of Burdett, New York, offering guided boat experiences on Seneca Lake that highlight the region's waterfalls, vineyards, and waterfront estates. The company runs a set of curated tours ranging from 1.5- to 2-hour excursions, including public sunset cruises, private group charters, and themed private events such as bachelorette outings.
Each tour visits Hector Waterfalls and includes an onshore experience at a private shale patio where guests can step onto flat shale at the waterfall base or relax with complimentary Finger Lakes beverages and local cheese. Tours emphasize close views of waterfalls, shoreline vineyards, rolling hills, and wildlife, while crews provide guidance on safe shore access and on-deck viewing.
