About this tour

Feel the thunder of Niagara Falls, watch rainbows shimmer in the mist, and stay to see the water glow after dark on this day-and-night journey from New York City. The Niagara Falls Day and Night Tour pairs a comfortable ride in an air-conditioned vehicle with more than five hours to admire the falls.

Explore viewpoints on the American side, where the rushing water and shifting spray make every stop memorable. A professional bilingual guide accompanies the trip. When operating, the Maid of the Mist boat tour offers a closer look at the falls; seasonal fireworks may also light up the night sky when available. A poncho or raincoat is included, and the tour operates in all weather, so dress for the conditions.

New Jersey pickup is available in Union City but must be confirmed in advance. With daylight views followed by nighttime illumination, this New York City Niagara Falls tour gives you time to experience the falls in changing light. Book your seat and see the spectacle for yourself.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.2.
