About this experience
This once-in-a-lifetime journey from New Jersey takes you to one of the most powerful natural wonders on Earth. Designed for first-time visitors, this experience gives you the time and space to truly feel Niagara Falls — not just glimpse it. Travel comfortably through multiple states before arriving at the Falls, where an expert guide leads a scenic walking tour through Niagara Falls State Park, revealing unforgettable viewpoints, hidden paths, and the raw force of the American and Horseshoe Falls. You’ll have the opportunity to sail into the mist on the legendary Maid of the Mist boat ride (admission not included), stand at the edge of roaring water at Prospect and Terrapin Points, and explore Goat Island and Luna Island up close. Enjoy free time on Old Falls Street for dining and exploration, and on select dates witness the Falls illuminated at night and seasonal fireworks. This is more than a tour — it’s an unforgettable moment you’ll remember forever.
