Niagara Falls–Thousand Island 2 Day (U.S. side)
Day 1 New York City– Thousand Island or Howe Cavern (Nov.-Apr.)
Departing from New York, we head for the Thousand Islands. Situated between the U.S. and Canadian border are 1,793 islands on the Saint Lawrence River, where we will have an opportunity to take in a leisure boat cruise along the river (seasonal) which will include unique sights such as the world's smallest international bridge and houses of the rich and famous on their own personal islands. With its clear water and island-dotted landscape, we’ll see why the area is considered the fresh water boating capital of the world. Overnight in upstate New York, night view of the Niagara Falls is not offered.
For winter months (Nov 14th-Apr), the tour will take us to Howe Caverns in Upstate NY. Here, our journey will wind us through limestone corridors, cavernous galleries, and under massive boulders to a subterranean riverbed carved over countless millennia. Deep in the cave, solid rock appears fluid: creating strange formations, flowing sheets and dripping stalactites. Mysterious grottos lead off into distant, unexplored passages path twists and turns ever downward to the glassy surface of an underground lake that trails off into the absolute darkness of the cave's Eastern Terminus.
Overnight: Holiday Inn or equivalent
Day 2 Niagara Falls – NYC
This morning, the tour will proceed to Niagara Falls to experience its fury and majesty. The most powerful waterfall in North America, an average of 4 million cubic feet of water falls over the crest every minute.

We are going to the Old Fort Niagara and Power Vista, which is located 4½ miles downstream from Niagara Falls, set amidst the spectacular scenery of the Niagara River Gorge. You will also enjoy the incredible views 350 feet above the Niagara River in the comfortable environs of the glass enclosed walkway or feel the elements on the outdoor observation deck (weather permitting).($25.00 /Adult,$18.00/kid (under 11) shuttle bus services fee, and special upgrade operation costs.)
