Boston
Depart from Boston on a scenic journey toward Niagara Falls, traveling through changing landscapes that set the stage for one of North America’s most iconic natural wonders. This comfortable overland transfer allows guests to relax before arriving in Niagara Falls in the evening, perfectly timed for the nighttime experience when the waterfalls reveal a completely different and dramatic character.
Niagara Falls State Park
Niagara Falls State Park: Niagara Falls Night View Tour After sunset, Niagara Falls State Park becomes the stage for one of nature’s most striking nighttime displays. Carefully positioned walkways lead visitors deep into the park, allowing unobstructed views of the illuminated waterfalls and surrounding landscape under the night sky.
Niagara Falls
Ram Island: Niagara Falls Night View Tour Ram Island provides an intimate viewing experience between Bridal Veil Falls and American Falls. From this close range, visitors can appreciate the scale, movement, and contrast of the illuminated water as it rushes past, offering exceptional photo opportunities and a powerful sense of proximity.
Niagara Falls
Moon Island: Niagara Falls Night View Tour Moon Island sits between the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls, offering a unique panoramic perspective. From here, guests can observe multiple waterfalls at once, capturing the breadth of Niagara Falls while surrounded by mist, light, and the sound of rushing water.
Niagara Falls
Horseshoe Falls: Niagara Falls Night View Tour Horseshoe Falls is the largest and most powerful of the three, and at night it becomes the focal point of the tour. Illuminated in changing colors, its massive curved drop appears even more dramatic after dark, emphasizing the scale and force that define Niagara Falls.
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls: Niagara Falls Night View Tour Bridal Veil Falls offers a more delicate yet striking contrast to the larger cascades. At night, its narrow stream glows under focused lighting, highlighting fine details of the falling water and adding visual balance to the nighttime scenery.
Niagara Falls
American Falls: Niagara Falls Night View Tour American Falls completes the trio with its broad curtain of cascading water. Illuminated from below, the textured flow and surrounding rocks become more pronounced, providing a dynamic and visually rich conclusion to the night tour.

Niagara Falls
Whirlpool Park: Niagara Falls Classic Tour (Optional) Whirlpool Park offers a dramatic view of the Niagara River’s powerful Class 6 rapids, where the river sharply changes direction and creates a massive natural whirlpool. From the overlook, visitors can observe the intense force and speed of the water, showcasing a lesser-seen but equally impressive side of Niagara Falls’ geological power.
Cave of the Winds
Cave of the Winds: Niagara Falls Classic Tour (Optional) At the Cave of the Winds, guests descend onto wooden platforms just feet from Bridal Veil Falls. The thunder of falling water, the cooling mist, and the sheer proximity to the cascade create an immersive experience that reveals the raw strength of Niagara Falls in a way viewpoints alone cannot.
Niagara Falls
Maid of the Mist (Seasonal): Niagara Falls Classic Tour (Optional) The Maid of the Mist boat tour takes visitors directly into the mist-filled basin below the falls, offering unparalleled views of Horseshoe Falls from the water. Feeling the spray and hearing the roar from this vantage point delivers one of the most iconic and memorable Niagara Falls experiences. (Not available during winter closure)
Boston
After completing the optional Niagara Falls Classic Tour—featuring Whirlpool State Park, Cave of the Winds, and the Maid of the Mist (season permitting)—the journey concludes with a return to Boston.

A wonderful walk

5.00Meeting the falls was a wonderful experience I went with my daughter. Our guide was a friendly person and very punctual to take us to every place we met. If I can make any complaint it was transport, it was a small van and it is 8 hours of travel .... although we made 3 stops to buy something to eat, use the bathroom. Otherwise all very well. The hotel was a Marriot, the room clean and comfortable. I would make that trip again, this time with my husband 😍

3.00Our tour guide Sam was absolutely the best! The rough part was they crammed 11 adults in a van and we was packed in there for a 8 hour trip each way.
Simply Magical!

5.00Of course each experience like this will vary because of events outside the provider’s control such as weather, traffic and other passengers! In our case the weather was perfect on both days and traffic was friendly in each direction giving us timely departures and arrivals each time. Our driver/guide was Sam who a) drove throughout wonderfully and b) gave the requisite amount of information at various stages of the visit so as not to be boring! Well done, Sam. We thought you were great! No need to describe Niagara Falls, it is simply awesome and unmissable! The perfect weather resulted in multiple rainbows during the day and great conditions at night which further enhanced the visit. In our case due to the closure of Cave of Winds, because of an electrical problem, we went to Fort Niagara….for history buffs a great attraction! With all well known visits like this expectations are always high but we felt 100% fulfilled. It was truly magical, no exaggeration! Thank you!
Perfect Experience

5.00It was a lot of fun. Sam, the tour guide, is very kind and attentive and the hotel is comfortable. This waterfall is recommended to be seen at least once in your life. It was amazing. You may want to have a change of clothes as it will get wetter than you thought.
Its a Scam

5.00The tour was the best I’ve been one. The driver drove very safe and the guide was very responsible and caring. She made sure all passengers were taken care of. I had my elderly parents traveling with me and they were very comfortable throughout the journey. They stopped frequently for breaks and yet covered all the spots without issues. They communicated everything clearly and made sure people were well informed. Their organization skills were amazing! I would highly recommend this tour for people of all ages and from all countries!
Great trip.

5.00We had a very convenient pick up area. We had a great guide answered my questions prior to trip and during. Very knowledgeable. On time the whole way. Very planned out and ran very smoothly.
Not a bad trip

4.00The ride was very tiring. That's to consider whether you want to wear 9 hours on the bus. Niagara Falls are very nice also the ride in the water to the falls is nice and in the evening the fireworks are also great.
Well run tour and a good time

5.00We started in Boston where we met up to get on bus. Driver was excellent. We stopped on breaks during the trip. Once we arrived at Niagara we went on the Maid of the Mist. AWESOME! Then off to our hotel which was clean & decent mattress. We rested for an hour & then back on bus to see the fireworks. They were excellent! Back to hotel & got a decent night sleep. Next day we went to Cave of the Winds. FABULOUS. And then we started back. Everyone was pleasant & we all shared a few laughs. This tour was well run and a good time.
