Full description

Experience the fury of Niagara Falls with a ride on the Maid of the Mist and cruise through the Thousand Islands on this three-day tour from New York City.

Day 1: New York - Finger Lakes - Niagra Falls An early morning departure takes you north from the Big Apple as you pass the beautiful Delaware Gap to Watkins Glen State Park in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. Walk through Watkins Glen Canyon to visit the beautiful waterfalls and then continue to Niagara Falls, passing Seneca Lake, where you will arrive in the late afternoon. Tour the U.S. side of the falls including the American Falls, Goat Island, and Luna Island. At night, tour Niagara Falls where you can marvel at the colorful lighting of the waters while on board the Maid of the Mist. Overnight: Ramada by Wyndham.

Day 2: Niagra Falls - Toronto - 1000 Islands

Start the day with the Horseshoe Falls’ view followed by a visit to the picturesque village of Niagara on the Lake. We continue to Toronto, the financial capital of Canada.

Loved how packed the days were with activities! But this was also very exhausting 6am-10pm days are long and can be very tiring esp. for elders or people w/ health conditions that require rest. Some of the pit spots should be longer or removed altogether to readjust the schedule and avoid delays. Loved our Spanish-speaking guide who was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about the places we visited.
