Escape NYC's hustle for a day! Experience the wonder of Niagara Falls on our epic day trip by plane, the quickest and most comfortable way to get there. Spectacular sights and memories await!
Full-Day Trip to Niagara Falls from New York City
Bright and early, you'll set off to your chosen airport. From there, your flight will whisk you away to Buffalo or Rochester, the two airports closest to the captivating Niagara Falls.
Once you land, our team will be at the airport to welcome you and drive you to your final destination. With a width of nearly 1000 meters (3,280 feet) and a height of 54 meters (177 feet), Niagara Falls is undeniably one of the most magical places on Earth. Are you ready to immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery crafted by the waters of the Great Lakes?
Once you arrive at Niagara Falls, you'll have about four to five hours to explore this natural wonder. If you're visiting between May and October, you can hop on the Maid of the Mist boat. This boat will take you to the base of the falls, offering a refreshing experience that's particularly delightful in the summer.
For the months between November and April, when the boat isn't operating, you can ascend to an impressive observation deck. From there, you'll be treated to views of American Falls, Rainbow Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Goat Island, and Three Sisters Islands.
After taking in the awe-inspiring sights, you can head to a restaurant to recharge with a delicious lunch. Following the meal, you'll be able to spend your afternoon as you wish.
As the afternoon rolls around, you'll catch a flight back to New York, arriving at the original airport after a day of wonder at Niagara Falls.
