Niagara Falls Full-Day Bus Tour from Times Square with Guide, Audio or Boat Options

The bus meets at Times Square at the set time and drives to the border of the United States and Canada, 7 to 8 hours with one rest stop. At the falls the group looks at the cascades from several viewpoints, with facts about the geology, the water volume and the films shot here. The viewpoint is chosen on the day according to the weather, and Terrapin Point on Goat Island, with its distinctive angle on Horseshoe Falls, the most impressive of the three, is a possibility. There is free time for lunch before the bus returns to New York at the end of the day. Three options are offered at booking. The guided tour keeps the guide with the group all day. The audio guide option lets visitors learn about the falls at their own pace, with download instructions sent 24 hours before the activity. The Maid of the Mist option adds the boat ride with a guide, with ponchos provided, and is available from May to October only. Departures are at 4 am, 7:30 am and 11 pm, and the booking must be made for the date of travel. With the 11 pm departure the tour starts on the chosen date but reaches the falls the next day. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before the activity starts; later cancellations and no-shows are not refunded. A separate flight option exists for travelers who want to avoid hours on the bus.
