New York State
New York State
New York City needs little introduction, but the State that is home to this world renowned city is relatively undiscovered, and offers a huge array of attractions away from the bright lights and round the clock activity of the city. The ‘Upstate’ experience offers something for everyone, including some of the of the most incredible natural sights in the United States.
The 1000 Islands region offers endless shorelines, rich history and unique culture along the shores of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. Lighthouses, historic castles, maritime museums, trophy fishing and diving, quaint villages, waterfront dining, and more make the 1000 Islands a destination that visitors come to again and again.
Just 90 minutes east of Niagara Falls, Rochester is your base for visits to the nearby Finger Lakes and Genesee Valley regions. A haven for arts and culture, the delights of the fall foliage and garden tours, plus the chance to cruise, walk, run, bike or paddle the infamous Erie Canal.
Experience Niagara Falls with a trip aboard the famous Maid of the Mist, and a breath taking encounter on the Cave of the Winds tour. Explore the oldest state park in the USA, then take the Whirlpool Jet Boat in Lewiston through “class five” rapids. There’s so much to see and do in Niagara USA!
See and do it all in New York State, whether it’s outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, canoeing, rafting, golf or skiing; sightseeing at some of the magnificent mansions on the Hudson River or enjoying the view at Niagara Falls or in the Adirondack Mountains; sampling culinary delights or some of the region’s fine wines you will find plenty to fill a two week holiday or as a shorter add-on to a New York City break.
It is a year round destination with great weather, lake beaches and outdoor activities in the summer, fabulous Autumn colours in September and October, Spring flowers in late April and May, and plenty of snow in the winter for skiing and other winter activities.
