Overview

This two-day bus tour starts with a departure from New York City heading north toward upstate New York. In summer, the route passes the Delaware Water Gap and stops at Watkins Glen State Park for a 45-minute walk through the canyon to see waterfalls. In winter, the itinerary includes a 20-minute stop at She-Qua-Ga Falls in Montour Falls instead of Watkins Glen. The tour continues to Niagara Falls, arriving late afternoon. On the first day at Niagara Falls State Park, travelers visit the American Falls, Goat Island, and Luna Island during a two-hour sightseeing tour. In the evening, those crossing into Canada do so to see the falls from the Canadian side. Guests remaining on the U.S. side have free time before both groups watch the illuminated falls light show. Afterward, everyone returns to the American side for an overnight stay. The second day begins with a two-hour visit to Niagara Falls State Park. From mid-May to October, the Maid of the Mist boat ride is included to view the Horseshoe Falls up close. During winter months, the Maid of the Mist is closed, so the tour includes visits to the Power Vista Hydro-Electric Station and Cave of the Winds instead. Around noon, the group heads south for a 90-minute stop at either Crossings Premium Outlets or Waterloo Premium Outlets for shopping before returning to New York City in the evening. Included are one night’s hotel accommodation with tax and continental breakfast, transportation by 15-passenger van or full-sized bus with Wi-Fi, a professional guide, and entrance to attractions depending on the season. Hotel pickup and drop-off, meals other than breakfast, and gratuities are not included.
