How to Explore Niagara This Fall

Many travelers are unaware Niagara is more than just world-famous waterfalls — or that autumn is an excellent time to explore the region. Since the falls are the main attraction, start with a Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour, taking in Niagara Gorge, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, with dynamic views of legendary Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Boats depart from the Lower Landing in the Great Gorge. New Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours blend the best of whitewater rafting with sightseeing during splashy Wet Jet Boat Tours — or you can opt for the dry option in a boat protected by a glass dome. Whatever your choice, boats launch from Water Street in Lewiston (safety-regulated height and age limits apply to participants).

Even if you book adjoining rooms or a more spacious suite, accommodations most likely still won’t have all of the amenities to make your stay as comfortable as it could be. But if your brood happens to be planning a beach getaway to Turks & Caicos, The Somerset on Grace Bay can provide an inviting oceanside home away from home.
