Safe for first-time visitors to Niagara Falls! Secret tips.

Niagara Falls tour, help if you can. Just got back from Niagara Falls, here's the latest info. I chose a 2-day Niagara Falls tour from New York, it was amazing! The falls are so cool and refreshing. Tips: 1. Take a boat to see the falls: You must try the Maid of the Mist boat tour to get up close to the falls. The visual and auditory impact is incredible. 2. Cave of the Winds: This attraction is perfect for those who want to experience the falls up close. Look up at the falls and feel the impact of the water, it's thrilling. 3. Niagara Whirlpool State Park: You can see the other side of the falls here. Take photos as you walk, every shot is stunning. 4. Wear waterproof clothing: Whether on the boat or at the Cave of the Winds, you'll get wet. Wear waterproof clothing or you'll be soaked. 5. Food tips: After the boat tour, have a burger and fries for about $10 at the dock. Once you return to TRC, the price goes up to $20. Don't get ripped off! There are also food trucks along the way, but prices are around $10. For value, eat after the boat tour. 6. Summer is peak season, it's crowded, and parking and attraction lines are long. Be prepared. 7. Be careful when viewing the falls, don't get too close to the edge or wet areas to avoid slipping. 8. If hiking, wear comfortable clothes and shoes, or you'll be exhausted. Tour tips: If you're traveling from New York/Boston/Washington, the cost of transportation, accommodation, tickets, and food can add up to $1,000 per person. Joining a tour is a great deal! Prices start at $3xx per person! The itinerary is well-paced, it's worth it. If you don't want to plan your own trip, a tour is a great option, perfect for lazy travelers. Itinerary (also available from Boston and Washington): Day 1: New York → Corning Museum of Glass → Watkins Glen State Park + Finger Lakes → Niagara Falls night tour Day 2: Niagara Falls classic tour (includes Whirlpool State Park + Cave of the Winds + Maid of the Mist) → New York
