About this activity

Experience Niagara Falls with your self-guided tour, exploring America’s most iconic natural wonder from the New York side at your own pace. Stand at Prospect Point where 750,000 gallons thunder past every second, feel the spray at Cave of the Winds just feet from Bridal Veil Falls, and cruise into the mist aboard the Maid of the Mist. Discover three waterfalls: the mighty Horseshoe Falls, the dramatic American Falls, and the delicate Bridal Veil Falls. Walk the trails of America’s oldest state park, established in 1885, and explore Goat Island’s scenic paths to Terrapin Point for great views. Beyond the falls, uncover layers of history from the Haudenosaunee people who revered these waters for millennia to Underground Railroad freedom seekers who crossed here to liberty. Learn how Nikola Tesla harnessed the falls to launch the age of electricity. From thundering cataracts to serene gorge trails, Niagara Falls rewards visitors with nature and history found nowhere else on Earth .
