Overview

The U.S. side, all to yourselves

A private version of our most popular passport-free tour. You get a dedicated vehicle and a guide who works for your group alone, so there's no waiting on strangers and no fixed script — just the American side's best, at your pace. Skip-the-line access at Cave of the Winds means more time at the Falls and less time in queues.

You'll ride the Maid of the Mist to the base of the Falls, descend 175 feet into the gorge at Cave of the Winds, and take in the lookouts of Niagara Falls State Park. Because it all stays U.S.-side, there's no passport needed.
