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.

Anthony was our tour guide! My friend and I really enjoyed him! He was knowledgeable and quite witty with his jokes! I was nervous the tour might be short and quick but it was actually longer than expected. Anthony shared so many cool historical facts about the port, caves and area in general. I would totally recommend it! Affordable too- can't beat that!

Went on a tour with 3 kids (3,6 & 16) and we all enjoyed it! The kids favorite part of the tour was the boat ride in the cave. Zach was a awesome tour guide - entertaining, patient with the kids and their questions, and very informative. 

Business response:

Keri-Rae, we will pass this information on! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the tour, and hope to see you again! 🙂

The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the locks, cave, and history of the area. Combined with a great sense of humor, it made for a very enjoyable tour. If you haven't visited or are simply looking for something that the whole family can do, I highly recommend this tour.
