If you are visiting New York then you just have to visit Niagara Falls, even if you are just on a weekend break there is no excuse with the Niagara Falls day trip, from New York by air.  The day trip to this magnificent thunderous product of the last ice age is now possible in as little as 12 hours.  With round trips from mid town New York to Upstate, then on to Buffalo airport for a quick transfer to the Falls.

The River Niagara stretches across the Canadian – United States border in both the state of New York and the Province of Ontario, carved by relentless ice sheets 18,000 years ago.  Niagara Falls is the second largest water fall in the world to the Victoria Falls of South Africa.  The awesome power of the combined 750,000 gallons of water dispersed over the American, Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls every second makes this an inspiring place to visit.

With both Canada and the U.S. sharing this wonder of the world there are trips available from both sides of the border.  Dependant on the time of year; you can feel the cooling spray of the Horseshoe Falls up close on the Maid of the Mist boat tour between the months of May and October, or you can explore the rock carved tunnels behind the falls between the months of November and April.

Once you are at the Niagara Falls there are plenty of places where you can take up a resting place and admire the beauty, from restaurants to cafes and bars there is no shortage of places to be refreshed.  You will find tourists from all over the world at Niagara Falls and all year round, although you need to wrap up in the winter months the overcoming power of the view soon warms you up.

A Niagara Falls day trip from New York comes with different deals and inclusions, for an all out package you can expect to receive;  transfer from your mid town New York hotel to the Upstate New York Airport, a flight to Buffalo then the coach transfer to the Niagara Falls.  Once at the Falls your trip can include a boat journey on the Maid of the Mist or the journey behind the falls depending on the time of year.

If you opt in for the full day trip package you will be able to relax mid day with a meal overlooking the falls in one of the excellent restaurants on the cliffs.  From here you will be able to take in the true beauty of your surroundings and take some all important pictures.  When the day comes to an end you will be coached back to Buffalo, flown back to Upstate New York where you will be transferred back to the hotel from which you started.  All this in a day with time left to hit the city streets for a night on the town in the big apple.
