After visiting the Tesla statue, your guide will bring you to The next stop on your tour will be Luna Island which separates the American and Bridal Veil Falls. This Island was originally called Prospect Island but it was renamed for the famous lunar rainbows that appear over it on bright, moonlit nights.
Next, you will head to Cave of the Winds. Here, you will descend 175 ft into the Niagara Gorge before heading out onto a series of walkways leading to the “hurricane deck” - only a few feet away from the Bridal Veil Falls
