Overview

Join our Niagara Falls e-bike adventure and uncover the sometimes grim but always fascinating hidden history of the Falls. Explore the untold stories that shaped Niagara as you see this natural wonder in a whole new light.

This guided ride reveals the many faces of Niagara—from the thunderous Horseshoe Falls and serene Goat Island to the whispers of the Underground Railroad and the colorful murals tucked away downtown. Along the way, you’ll glimpse early power plants and hear tales of ambition, innovation, and loss.

Departing from the Aquarium of Niagara, you’ll follow safe, off-road paths with 5–10 minute storytelling stops at Whirlpool State Park, Schoellkopf Power Plant, Cave of the Winds, and more. Finish the journey with mist on your face, wind in your hair, and a deeper understanding of Niagara’s untold past.
