Here, you will find the oldest state park in the USA - 400 acres of lush terrain that offers magnificent views of the Falls. While the US side features two of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls, the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, you will also be able to catch a glimpse of the largest of the three Falls, the Horseshoe Falls.

Things to know before booking your Niagara Falls US tours

  • Understanding where you are: Niagara Falls is split between the United States and Canada. The American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are on the US side, while the Horseshoe Falls are mainly on the Canadian side.
  • What you’ll find on the US side: On the American side, you can visit attractions like Cave of the Winds, the Observation Tower, and the scenic walking paths along the river.
  • Seasonal highlights: Some experiences, like the Maid of the Mist boat ride, run from April to November. Other activities, like walking tours and observation points, are open year-round.
  • Want to see both sides? If you’re curious about the Canadian side too, you can book a Niagara Falls (Canada & USA) Full Day Tour to experience the Horseshoe Falls, Maid of the Mist boat ride, Cave of the Winds, Skylon Tower and more in a single day.
  • Keep your visa handy: If you’re not a US or Canadian citizen and want to visit both sides of Niagara Falls, you’ll need to arrange a US tourist visa and a Canadian tourist visa in advance from your home country.
  • Travel docs: US citizens planning to visit the Canadian side need to have a passport, passport card, or enhanced driver’s license ready.

The Niagara Falls tour was absolutely amazing and worth every moment. The Hornblower Cruise was thrilling and brought us incredibly close to the falls, while Journey Behind the Falls gave a unique and powerful perspective from behind the cascading water. Note- It is a walking tour. You will walk but the walk is scenic! The entire experience was well organized, exciting, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Canada’s Niagara Falls.”

The cruise was so easy to board and well organized. It was a cloudy and rainy day but we still had the best time! They included ponchos and we got to take some cool pictures before the cruise started. We got the most awesome up close view of the Horseshoe falls on the Canadian side. It was incredible to be there

The tour was easy to book. Loved the meeting location. Close to parking and easy to find. We were greeted by the check in person and given instruction on where to meet our guide. Our guide was very knowledgeable. He took us to all the location gave instructions and answered all of our questions. Enjoyed the walking aspect of the tour. The boat ride was nice. If you get motion sick I would take something before the ride. It is a short ride. I didn't feel nauseous until the very end. The other three people with me didn't feel sick at all. Be aware on the cave of the wind you get very wet and it's windy. My husband enjoyed this the most. They have a trolly you can board for $5 each adult at the end to take you back near parking lot. We enjoyed the beautiful walk back.

I recently went on a jet boat tour at Niagara Falls and it was one of the most exciting experiences I’ve ever had. The boat ride was fast, thrilling, and full of sharp turns that made the whole adventure unforgettable. As we got closer to the falls and rapids, the power of the water was incredible to see up close. The staff were friendly, funny, and made sure everyone felt safe before the tour started. Getting soaked by the waves was honestly one of the best parts because it added to the excitement and made the ride feel even more real. The scenery around the river was beautiful, and the entire atmosphere was energetic and fun. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Niagara Falls who wants a mix of sightseeing and adrenaline. It was absolutely worth it and something I would definitely do again.
