PLEASE NOTE: BOOK EARLY!
Many travelers wonder why some trips are canceled. This usually happens when not enough people sign up in advance.
Most venues require our payments 60–90 days before the trip, so we often must make decisions well ahead of departure dates.
Booking early helps keep these wonderful trips on the schedule—thank you!
Day 1
SUNDAY, JULY 5, 2026
As we travel toward Niagara Falls, we will stop at Liberty Vineyards & Winery to enjoy a guided wine tasting along with a catered lunch. Our next visit will be to the Niagara Falls Underground Railroad Heritage Center, whose mission is to share the authentic stories of freedom seekers and abolitionists in Niagara Falls. We will then make our way to the Comfort Inn, The Pointe, located just a short walk from Horseshoe Falls. You'll have free time to explore the area and enjoy dinner on your own. Each evening, Niagara Falls is illuminated in vibrant colors, and fireworks are launched from the gorge between the American and Canadian sides, providing a spectacular nighttime display.
Day 2
MONDAY, JULY 6, 2026
After an included breakfast, we will visit the Niagara Falls Visitor Center, where you can pick up maps, brochures, and souvenirs before we head to the Niagara Falls USA Observation Tower for a panoramic view of all three falls. Next, we will board the iconic Maid of the Mist boat ride, getting up close to the falls to feel the mist and hear the thunderous roar. We will enjoy lunch at the Top of the Falls Restaurant, featuring amazing views through floor-to-ceiling windows. Our adventure continues at the Cave of the Winds, a thrilling walk on the falls' "wild side" that begins with an elevator ride 175 feet down into the gorge; outfitted with souvenir rain ponchos and specialty sandals, you will make your way along wooden walkways to the Hurricane Deck, where the rushing Bridal Veil Falls creates tropical-storm-like conditions and an unforgettable experience. We will then visit Goat Island-a wooded island that separates the American falls from the Canadian side-and Three Sisters Island, a trio of small islands connected to Goat Island by footbridges. After our visits, we will return to the hotel, where you may enjoy free time on your own, take a relaxing stroll, or try your luck at the Seneca Niagara Casino.
Day 3
TUESDAY, JULY 7, 2026
After breakfast, we will enjoy a cruise on the historic Erie Canal. This fun and informative journey will take you past five of the original 1800s canal locks as you travel under the "Upside Down Bridge" and the "Big Bridge," and through the "Deep Rock Cut." The narration, provided by Coast Guard-licensed captains, is accompanied by canal music popular in the 1800s, adding to the experience. We will then have an included lunch at a local restaurant before touring Old Fort Niagara, a fascinating historic landmark in Youngstown, New York. After our visit to the fort, we will begin our journey south for home.
