About this experience

Discover the stunning beauty and power of the world-famous Niagara Falls from above and below, in daylight and under the cover of night. Explore the pristine beauty of New England and do some bargain shopping along the way.

On Day 1 depart New York, passing beautiful landscapes and visiting Watkins Glen State Park or Montour Falls (during winter, when the Park is inaccessible) on the way to Niagara. Once there, tour the falls and see the colourful lighting of the water by night. Tour another panoramic point of the falls on Day 2 and experience the power of Niagara by boat (summer) or tour the Scenic Tunnels (winter). On the way back to New York we will stop at an outlet mall for some bargain shopping.
