Niagara Thunder
Niagara Falls
THUNDER
6 days / 5 nights
The thundering Niagara Falls straddles the U.S. and Canadian border. Three separate falls spill their banks creating a majestic national landmark. We’ll explore this area both from land and water in detail, to learn more about the geology and history of this incredible site.
Day 1
Join Lamers as we motor east to the beauty and majesty of Niagara Falls. We first make our way across the Midwest with our usual stretch and meal breaks. Tonight, finds us in the Toledo, OH for our overnight stay.
Day 2
As we enter the Cleveland area we pause at the iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Expect to see one of the most impressive collections of music memorabilia ever assembled. After walking through the exhibits enjoy a relaxing brunch cruise on board the Nautica Queen. Experience the city of Cleveland in a whole new way with extraordinary views of the bridges and coastline of Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River. The cruise includes a buffet meal and great musical entertainment. Travels continue into the very western edge of New York state and continue along the Lake Erie shoreline. This evening, we check into our accommodations for the next three nights on the Canadian side. Don't forget your passport!
B, BRDay 3
The Observation Deck which extends out dramatically over Niagara Gorge is an architectural wonder with unobstructed views of the wild cascading waters of Niagara Falls, as well as the raging whitewater below. We then descend on the adjacent elevator to the dock of the favorite Niagara Falls attraction for more than 150 years.
The Maid of the Mist cruise journey begins with donning your souvenir rain poncho and boarding the double-deck tour boat. From there, the boat ferries pass the base of the American Falls, and onto the basin of Horseshoe Falls as this dramatic passage leads you through roiling whitewater and massive rock formations. Enjoy a little free time for lunch on your own before boarding the coach on a scenic drive to Arrowhead Spring Vineyard for a tour and tasting. This area of New York state is home to a burgeoning wine region. The cool climate and rolling hills and valleys make for a one-of-a-kind terroir and is home to small and large producers alike, with numerous varieties of grapes.
Day 4
A day of touring as we marvel at the beautiful plantings and the amazing Floral Clock. The intricate designs on the face of this floral masterpiece are created with thousands of bedding plants and changed out twice each year. A local guide will join us here to take us on a tour of the area and the short drive to quaint, Victorian Niagara-on-the-Lake. Nestled just beyond the falls, this picturesque town epitomizes old world charm. It's bordered by arbor-framed streets and lush boulevard gardens plus hear the clip-clop of horses as carriages go by. After our tour it's time for lunch and shopping on your own in the historic district. The Niagara Apothecary is an authentic museum restoration of an 1869 pharmacy as part of a practice that operated in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, from 1820-1964. Topping off a great touring day, we feast at a fabulous local restaurant for fantastic views.
B, DDay 5
Time to pack our bags for the journey out of Niagara. We first make a pit stop at the Made In America Store. This is the nation's only 100% USA-made brick & mortar store. It has over 9,000 products from 500+ manufacturers that are guaranteed to be made in America! Lunch time finds us back in the Cleveland area where we enjoy a fun German meal at the Munich-style Hofbräuhaus. Our final overnight will be in the Toledo, OH area.
Day 6
We hope you enjoyed your jaunt to the Falls. Your return home will be later this afternoon.
