Niagara Falls 2-Day Trip from New York City

Discover one of the world's most breathtaking natural wonders with this 2-day Niagara Falls tour from New York, an experience that combines scenery, history and fun.

Day 1: New York - Finger Lakes - Niagara Falls

Leave the hustle and bustle of Manhattan behind and head north in a comfortable coach or minibus with a professional English-speaking guide. Along the way, you'll cross the scenic Delaware Gap to Watkins Glen State Park in the heart of the Finger Lakes, where you'll enjoy a hike past waterfalls and natural canyons (in winter, this is replaced by a visit to Montour Falls).

Afterwards, you will continue your journey past Seneca Lake until you reach Niagara Falls in the afternoon. There you will tour the American side, visiting the American Falls, Goat Island and Moon Island, with time to watch the water fall from several viewpoints.

At dusk, you'll experience a magical moment as the falls are illuminated at night, a spectacle of colour and sound that is impossible to forget. Spend the night at the Wyndham Garden at Niagara Falls or Ramada by Wyndham (Canadian side).

Day 2: Niagara Falls - New York City

Start the day listening to the roar of the water and admiring the panoramic view of the Horse Shoe Falls, before boarding the legendary Maid of the Mist, the boat that takes you to the heart of the waterfall (May to October).

If you're travelling in winter, when the boat doesn't operate, you'll visit the Power Vista Hydroelectric Station and the impressive Cave of the Winds, where you'll feel the power of the water just metres away.

On the way back to New York, you'll stop at one of the region's largest outlet malls, with discounts on international brands and designers. After a day of shopping and unforgettable scenery, you'll arrive in Manhattan in the evening.
