What To Expect

Day 1

Washington D.C--Niagara Falls

6 Stops

Washington DC (pass by)

We set off from Washington, D.C. in the morning and head north toward Niagara Falls, trading the city for rolling countryside as the drive sets the tone for the day ahead. Washington D.C. → Harrisburg → Buffalo → Niagara Falls (New York) → Niagara Falls Classic Tour (150 min) [Whirlpool Park → Cave of the Winds → Maid of the Mist] → Niagara Falls Night View Tour (90 min)

Harrisburg (pass by)

Along the way we pass through Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, set on the banks of the Susquehanna River. It's a scenic waypoint on the route north, where the riverside and the domed state capitol mark the halfway rhythm of the drive.

Buffalo (pass by)

Continuing on, we pass through Buffalo, the second-largest city in New York State and the gateway to the Niagara region. Perched on the eastern shore of Lake Erie, it's the last major city before the falls come into view.

Niagara Falls (pass by)

By the time we arrive, you're standing at one of the world's three great transnational waterfalls, whose name comes from an Indigenous word meaning "thunder of waters." The falls span the U.S.–Canada border, with Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and the slender Bridal Veil Falls each putting on their own show

Niagara Falls State Park

Niagara Falls Classic Tour (150 min) [Whirlpool Park → Cave of the Winds → Maid of the Mist]: If you'd like, add the Classic Tour. At Whirlpool Park you look down on a massive natural whirlpool, formed where the river makes a sharp turn and the rapids churn back on themselves. At the Cave of the Winds, an elevator drops you into the gorge and onto wooden walkways just feet from Bridal Veil Falls, close enough to feel the spray. Then comes the Maid of the Mist, the storied boat that carries you right into the misty basin below Horseshoe Falls for the closest view of all. Note: the Maid of the Mist typically closes in winter and isn't visited during that period.

2 hours 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls Night View Tour (90 min): After dark we head deep into the park for the night tour, "one park, two islands, three falls." From Ram Island and Moon Island you get intimate, multi-angle views of the cascades, while Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls glow under shifting colored lights. When a fireworks show is scheduled that evening, we make sure you're there to see it.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free
