Niagara Falls State Park Sunset Walking Tour by the Owner with Illumination and Fireworks
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
Niagara FallsThe owner of the company guides this sunset walk through Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the U.S. The operator was among the first to run a sunset walking tour with fireworks at Niagara Falls, and it is licensed and insured, registered with NY State Parks and with the City of Niagara Falls. Groups stay small, with a maximum of 8 to 12 people, and a booking of more than 8 has to be a single group. That leaves room for photos, questions and a pace the group sets. The guide also acts as a local concierge during the stay, with suggestions for the area. The walk starts at the entrance of the park and heads for the brink of the American Falls, with stories of the history and oddities of Niagara. It follows the sunset over the river and then the illumination show. Goat Island comes next, with Luna Island between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, the Nikola Tesla statue and a walk to Terrapin Point for Horseshoe Falls. A short restroom break is possible. On the way back across Goat Island the guide covers the history of the Niagara daredevils. The fireworks are at 10pm daily from mid-May to mid-October, and the walk ends back at the starting location.

A tiny natural wonder wedged between the American and…
Luna Island is a tiny spot wedged between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, and the guide's favourite stop for the views and the photo opportunities.

Niagara Falls State Park
At the Nikola Tesla statue, Tesla looks over a set of blueprints that stand for his vision of a world powered by nature. The monument was a gift to the United States from Yugoslavia in 1976, for the 200th anniversary of the country. A short restroom break is possible.

Niagara Falls
On the way to Terrapin Point the group sees Horseshoe Falls, the largest and most powerful of the three. The mist can show a rainbow on a sunny afternoon, and on a windy day it soaks visitors.

Goat Island
On the way back across Goat Island and over the historic bridge, the guide tells the history of the Niagara daredevils, who have drawn crowds to the falls for over 150 years. Their stunts were the start of Niagara's identity as a tourist destination.
