Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    New York to Niagara Falls

    You'll leave New York and head north through the Delaware Water Gap toward Watkins Glen State Park. Once there, walk through the canyon to check out the waterfalls and get a sense of the landscape. From there, continue on to Niagara Falls, arriving in the late afternoon. After settling in, head to the US side to see American Falls, Goat Island, and Luna Island. Then you'll board the Maid of the Mist to get right up close to the power of the falls from the water. By evening, stick around to see the colored lighting on the water, which really transforms the whole area after dark.

    Meals
    Breakfast (Continental Breakfast)

    Included Activities

    • Walk through Watkins Glen Canyon to visit waterfalls
    • Tour US side of Niagara Falls including American Falls, Goat Island, and Luna Island

  2. Day 2

    Niagara Falls to Toronto to 1000 Islands

    Start the morning looking out at Horseshoe Falls, then head to the village of Niagara-on-the-Lake for some time exploring. Later, you'll make your way to Toronto where there's quite a bit to cover: HTO Park, Brookfield Place (which houses the Hockey Hall of Fame), City Hall, and The Distillery Historic District. In the evening, you'll depart Toronto heading east along Lake Ontario toward the 1000 Islands area. If you're traveling in April, weather could affect this leg, so there's a chance you might need to return to Niagara Falls for the night instead.

    1000 Islands to New York

    You'll start with a cruise through the 1000 Islands along the St. Lawrence River. From the water, you can see historic homes and private islands, including Boldt Castle and Heart Island. After the cruise wraps up, you'll head toward New York with a stop at large outlet malls where you can hunt for brand name bargains and do some shopping. The drive back to New York takes place in the evening, so you'll arrive after dark.

    It was wonderful. Especially the 2nd-3rd day hotel that got chosen. It was a really good choice! i feel like i had to take a break from the busy cities so the hotel was a really good way to release the stress. The places that we went to were wonderful. The timing of our visit was actually very nice because there was no lines or anything it was like planned! The tour guide and the driver was really nice and lovely didnt have any problems on my sleeping when i was on the bus so that was like proof that the driver was good at driving same to the tour guide they have a little alarm before he speaks so that we wont get shocked by the volume of the mic. A nice feature!!. Overall a really great experience def recommendable.

    Tour Details
    • Empire VacationsOperatorWritten April 2025

      Our focus is primarily on our group tours, as they allow us to deliver a high level of service while keeping the experience enjoyable and cost-effective for our travelers. That said, we'd be happy to provide a quote for a private tour if you're interested. Please keep in mind that without a group to share the cost, private tours tend to be significantly more expensive—typically around $2,000 per day. For a more budget-friendly alternative, we recommend joining our Niagara Falls and 1000 Islands 3-Day Tour, which is a fantastic group option and offers great value while still covering some incredible highlights.
