After visiting the Tesla statue, your guide will bring you to The next stop on your tour will be Luna Island which separates the American and Bridal Veil Falls. This Island was originally called Prospect Island but it was renamed for the famous lunar rainbows that appear over it on bright, moonlit nights.

Cave of the Winds

At Cave of the Winds you’ll descend into the Niagara Gorge before embarking on a series of walkways leading to the famous “hurricane deck”. It has been said that even on a clear, calm day, a trip to the hurricane deck feels like you’re standing in the middle of a tropical storm! For those who choose to continue with the optional Maid of the Mist boat ride instead, your guide will bring you to the Prospect Point Observation Tower for an up-close look at the Falls before heading down to the boarding site for the iconic Maid of the Mist boat ride. For those who are not continuing with the optional Cave of the Winds or Maid of the Mist visit, your guide will end the tour, give you directions to get back to your vehicle and make some recommendations for things to do in the area. You can then take the rest of the day to continue exploring Niagara Falls, New York.

Terrapin Point

Terrapin Point is a scenic observation area on Goat Island in Niagara Falls State Park, offering stunning views of the Horseshoe Falls, one of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. It is located on the American side of the border, providing a vantage point to see the powerful cascade of water and the mist that rises from the falls. Renovated several times, it features accessible walkways and viewing platforms for visitors to enjoy the natural spectacle up close.

Three Sisters Island

Your tour will then continue onward to the Three Sisters Islands. The islands are connected by bridges which allow pedestrians to walk across all three for grand views of the raging rapids of the Niagara River before its descent into the Horseshoe Falls. The Three Sisters Islands have served as an inspiration for many artists because of their natural beauty.

Our tour guide, Jimmy Coyote, was incredible. He was knowledgeable. Most importantly he was patient with our two year old and very thoughtful! It was like he was part of the family. He told us all the best spots and the ins and outs so we could enjoy our trip.
