Niagara Falls Explorer with New York City

New York City to Niagara Falls rail getaway on the Maple Leaf

Niagara Falls Explorer with New York City, a rail journey with Amtrak Vacations

Amtrak Vacations runs this six-day, five-night independent rail getaway combining New York City and Niagara Falls, Ontario, using the Maple Leaf train roundtrip in Coach class. The trip opens with a night in a New York City hotel before the Maple Leaf carries you north across the border to Niagara Falls. Once there, a Niagara Adventure Pass covers the Skylon Tower Deck, Journey Behind the Falls, Niagara's Fury, White Water Walk, and two days of WEGO bus transportation around the Falls, and the trip's highlights also describe a boat cruise close to the Falls with a meal included. After the Niagara stay, the Maple Leaf returns you to New York City for a final night before heading home. The evidence does not give a day-by-day breakdown, so the exact split of the five nights between the two cities is not specified. This suits travelers who want the full roster of Niagara Falls viewpoints alongside overnight stays in New York City, without a guided tour.
