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!

Day Trip Details

Bright and early, you'll set off to one of New York's airports. 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.

Departure Airports

Between 24 to 48 hours before the day of the activity, you'll receive an email confirming which airport you'll need to go to, your flight info, and your tickets. The possible airports are:

JFK Airport
LaGuardia Airport
Newark Airport

Important Info

This tour will take place on the U.S. side of the falls, so if you don't visit the Canadian side on your own, you won't need a special visa.
If you choose to visit the Canadian side, citizens of certain countries require a visa to get in. All visa requirements are the sole responsibility of travelers who choose to go to the Canadian side of the falls.
Depending on the season and weather, some activities may not be available.
The order of activities will depend on flight schedules.
This day trip does not include a guide, it's a self-guided visit.

Bus Tour

If you want to save more than 50%, we recommend checking out our Niagara Falls bus tour. Despite the travel time, the amount of time spent at the falls is similar.
