Overview

See Niagara Falls by day and by night on this two-day small-group trip from Washington, D.C. Drive north through the countryside to the falls, where you'll take in Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls from a range of viewpoints. Add the optional Classic Tour for Whirlpool Park, the thundering Cave of the Winds, and the famous Maid of the Mist boat ride, then head out after dark for the illuminated night tour, when the falls glow under coloured lights. The next day brings an optional stop at the world-renowned Corning Museum of Glass before the comfortable ride back to D.C. With a bilingual driver-guide and a night right at the falls, it's an unforgettable way to experience one of the world's great natural wonders.

Activity itinerary

Day 1: Washington D.C--Niagara Falls

  • 6 stops
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Hotel: Crowne Plaza Niagara Falls NY–Riverside；Buffalo Marriott Niagara；Aloft Buffalo Airport or Similar

Washington DC (Pass by)

We set off from Washington, D.C. in the morning and head north towards Niagara Falls, trading the city for rolling countryside as the drive sets the tone for the day ahead. Washington D.C. → Harrisburg → Buffalo → Niagara Falls (New York) → Niagara Falls Classic Tour (150 min) [Whirlpool Park → Cave of the Winds → Maid of the Mist] → Niagara Falls Night View Tour (90 min)

Harrisburg (Pass by)

Along the way we pass through Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, set on the banks of the Susquehanna River. It's a scenic waypoint on the route north, where the riverside and the domed state capitol mark the halfway rhythm of the drive.

Buffalo (Pass by)

Continuing on, we pass through Buffalo, the second-largest city in New York State and the gateway to the Niagara region. Perched on the eastern shore of Lake Erie, it's the last major city before the falls come into view.

Niagara Falls (Pass by)

By the time we arrive, you're standing at one of the world's three great transnational waterfalls, whose name comes from an Indigenous word meaning "thunder of waters." The falls span the US–Canada border, with Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and the slender Bridal Veil Falls each putting on their own show

Niagara Falls State Park

  • 2h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Niagara Falls Classic Tour (150 min) [Whirlpool Park → Cave of the Winds → Maid of the Mist]: If you'd like, add the Classic Tour. At Whirlpool Park you look down on a massive natural whirlpool, formed where the river makes a sharp turn and the rapids churn back on themselves. At the Cave of the Winds, an lift drops you into the gorge and onto wooden walkways just feet from Bridal Veil Falls, close enough to feel the spray. Then comes the Maid of the Mist, the storied boat that carries you right into the misty basin below Horseshoe Falls for the closest view of all. Note: the Maid of the Mist typically closes in winter and isn't visited during that period.

Niagara Falls

  • 1h 30m
Niagara Falls Night View Tour (90 min): After dark we head deep into the park for the night tour, "one park, two islands, three falls." From Ram Island and Moon Island you get intimate, multi-angle views of the cascades, while Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls glow under shifting coloured lights. When a fireworks show is scheduled that evening, we make sure you're there to see it.

Day 2: The Corning Museum of Glass--Washington D.C

  • 2 stops
  • Meals: Not included
  • Accommodation: Not included

Corning Museum of Glass

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Corning Museum of Glass (90 min): On the way back you can stop at the world-famous Corning Museum of Glass, the heart of the American glass industry. Some 100,000 pieces fill the galleries, from delicate artworks to crystal-clear sculptures, with live glassmaking demonstrations showing the craft up close.

Washington DC (Pass by)

From there it's a comfortable drive back to Washington, D.C., wrapping up the trip with the sights and sounds of Niagara still fresh in mind.
