Lockport Cave and Underground Boat Ride

4.5

About this business

Located along the Lockport section of the Erie Canal, this amazing underground boat ride is unique. Using a custom-built flat-bottom boat, visitors go on a half-mile trip through a man-made hydraulic raceway cut out of solid rock, the work of 19th-century genius Birdsill Holly— the man who gave the world the fire hydrant and zoned steam heat. Accompanied by a guide and trained operators, the 1 1/4-hour ride is thrilling and perfectly safe.

Our tour guide (I think her name was Teegan) was very entertaining and informative. Would definitely recommend! Even my 10 & 13 year olds enjoyed it and remembered some of the history info she provided

Bucket list check-off!! We did the lantern tour with Alexander (not Tom!) as our guide!! He was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It's just amazing what REAL manual labor accomplished at a time of non power equipment. The only issue I had was the stair climb at the end. Take the tour! Take your kids!! Thank you Alexander!

My husband and I took the tour last Wednesday. The staff that greeted us was very helpful and friendly. The tour guide, unfortunately I can not remember his name, was very knowledgeable, friendly and knew the caves since he was little. He was attentive to waiting for everyone to catch up, he was clear and easy to understand. His touches of humour were appreciated. Seeing these caves, gives a full appreciation for history. Totally enjoyable tour!
