Overview

NOTE: A minimum of 4 people must first book this tour for it to take place, then others can book. We offer hiking adventures along the Niagara River gorge by a NY State licensed hiking guide. You'll explore the beauty and wonder of the mighty Niagara River. We offer a fun, interesting and unique experience for folks looking to get away from the large overcrowded tourist attractions and bus tours. We start this tour by looking down into the Whirlpool from the Niagara River gorge rim. We will then hike down 400+ steps into the gorge and along the Niagara River rapids trails to the Whirlpool flats. Along the way you'll learn about the river and historical events.

We will then take the trail up the stone staircase and walk back to our meeting spot. This tour is not recommended for children under the age of 10.
