What To Expect

Goat Island

On your walking tour of Niagara Falls, NY , your guide will meet you under the archway leading to Goat Island. Goat Island is well known for having one of the most magnificent views of both the American and Canadian Falls. Here you will see the famous Nikola Tesla statue and learn about his contributions to the area and to the world in terms of modern-day electricity. 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. Next, you will head to Terrapin Point. This point sits on top of the Terrapin Rocks which were named for their resemblance to a giant tortoise. From here, you’ll have an incredible view overlooking the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the lower Niagara Gorge.

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.

Cave of the Winds

For those continuing with the Cave of the Winds option this will be your next and final stop on the tour. 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.
