The Cave Boat Tour You Can Only Take In New York Will Bring Out Your Inner Adventurer

With the month of June now less than a week away, New York’s summertime weather is finally starting to make a consistent appearance. You may already have your go-to spots to visit when you’re looking to cool off, but have you ever thought about heading underground to experience cooler temperatures? Officially open for the year, check out why you’ll want to go for an adventure on this one-of-a-kind cave boat tour.

Opening up this month for their 2018 season, Lockport Cave & Underground Boat Ride can be found just a half-hour outside of Niagara Falls.

Right along the Erie Canal, Lockport Caves starts off with a tour outside by the canal that showcases the local history and gives you insight to the ruins that are all around you and date back to the Industrial Revolution.

The fun really begins though once you reach this slightly eerie sight, where you'll begin to actually enter the Lockport Caves.

Down the rabbit hole you'll go as you walk through a 1,600-foot water tunnel that was blasted out of solid rock in the mid-1800s.

Finally, you'll reach America's longest underground boat ride that maintains a cool 65-degree temperature all year long.

Lit up by small electric lights, you'll glide right across the water to get an up-close look at the cave during this 70-minute long adventure.
