Made up of three waterfalls with vertical drops between 69 and 187ft, Niagara Falls is breathtaking. “Niagara Falls lit up at night – I’ve never seen anything so spectacular! The ship took us right up to the falls where we could feel the mist from the towering waters. And then, to go to laid-back Mackinac Island. It was like stepping back in time. A trip of a lifetime!” - Robin Duke, SUN TOURS Tour Coordinator
