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.

The tour and Cameron our guide was great. It's a fun trip filled with a lot of really interesting history, and if you're lucky you'll get kissed by the cave (you'll understand when you go on the tour). Highly recommended.

My family of 4 had a great tour with Ben today! It was split between learning about the locks and their history in Lockport, walking through the cave, and taking a short boat ride. Ben was funny, clear, and helpful to our group. My 5 year old said, “I love this place!”

Had a great experience on our tour today! Our tour guide Ben was awesome. Loved his jokes, puns, dry wit, and he’s clearly very knowledgeable about the history of the cave and the area. He also spoke loudly and clearly. The tour itself was something new and unexpected for us.
