The 10 Best Day Trips from in Niagara Falls, New York (NY)

July 25, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

A popular spot for getting wowed or soaked amid natural splendor, Niagara Falls attracts curious spectators and adventurous honeymooners from around the world. The splendid main attraction - more than six million feet of water cascading over a rocky crest - sits partially in the United States and partially in Canada. The U.S. side has recently been busy promoting other activities to lure visitors. Venues like the Aquarium of Niagara offer parents fun and engaging alternatives for kids, after or in between visits to the Falls. Outdoor recreation such as hiking, biking, fishing and camping can be found at the Niagara Falls State Park. The storied history of attempts to conquer the majestic Falls is captured at the Daredevil Museum; the Schoellkopf Museum concentrates on the history and geology. There's more to the Falls than, well, the Falls, including a wide array of dining and lodging options, from budget to upscale. This awe-inspiring region makes for an exhilarating and multi-faceted getaway

Steve was awesome at helping us plan a last minute wine tour in NOTL. His help and relationships in planning our custom tour was instrumental in the success of our day (at the time the Covid restrictions were changing weekly). Harold was with us too taking photographs which was awesome to document our day and our time together. We will definitely use them for future trips to the area and would highly recommend them. They think of everything and have such great, personal touch’s!

First and foremost where do I start. First our tour guide Robert was amazing and informative about Niagara Falls he was charismatic with himself and made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. I thank you for our tour sir. We got to see all the falls I don't know why people say you only see half of the horseshoe fall we seen the whole thing up close on maid of the most. I was very pleased how all the views were spectacular it was unbelievable experience I will definitely do this tour AGAIN!!!. Pricing was great as well for what you are getting there is another company that charges about 20$ more then this one and getting the same thing. I must remind you...you will get extremely wet from the cave of the winds and maid of the mist so bring sandals or slides but ready for an amazing experience.
