Every second almost a million gallons of water blast over the edge of Niagara Falls, in what truly is an awesome sight. Located right on the border of Canada and the state of New York, Niagara Falls is a well known landmark in North America and one of the top tourist destinations. This awe inspiring spectacle is something to behold and it is made even more impressive by the variety of methods helping you to get closer such as boats, observation towers, catwalks and helicopters all push as close to the curtains of gushing water as they possibly dare. At night the falls are well lit up as the gigantic amounts of coloured water drop into the dark nothingness and in winter, the entire scene is different with ice and huge icicles hanging and glistening in the cold winter air, like how you would imagine a holiday destination for Jack Frost to be.

The real beauty of the fantastic place can be witnessed through the famous old boat ride the Maid of the Mist, where excited tourists can get up close and personal with the enormous falls and see sights like no other. The cruise takes you through the foaming waters at the base of the falls; you will feel the mist on your skin as you gaze up at the huge amount of water pouring down towards you, an exhilarating feeling. With the Maid of the Mist operating primarily through the warm months, (May to October) the other months are filled with the very entertaining Journey Behind the Falls, where an elevator takes you behind the water sheet of the falls for a once in a lifetime view.

There are numerous tours to be taken from New York City which could involve a bus journey, which is only two hours or a short plane journey. There are plenty of views to be seen either way and you get to experience the sights of upstate New York and the different suburbs that make this great state. The views are unbelievable, there are many shops and restaurants so you can enjoy a full day out experience and you get to see a small bit of Canada, just do not forget your passport.

After the great day out exploring the fascinating sights, make sure you have a great Luxury hotel to rest in after such as Hilton New York , The New Yorker Hotel and Grand Hyatt New York , all located in great areas of activity. .
