Day 1 : New York - Thousand Islands(Summer) or Howe Cavern(Winter) (500 miles)

Departing from New York, we head for Thousand Islands. Situated between the U.S. and Canadian border are 1,793 islands on the Saint Lawrence River, considered the fresh water boating capital of the world. The water is so clear in some areas, that a rocky bottom can be seen, even with 80 feet deep waters. Because of the great number of rocks and shoals just above or below the water's surface, it is difficult to travel the waters at night. Luckily, we will have an opportunity to take in a leisure boat cruise along the river (seasonal) which include unique sights such as the world's smallest international bridge. Then we will going back to the hotel.

After Nov (Depands on weather condition), Thousand Islands's cruise will be closed, the tour will discover the most funniest  attraction, Howe Cavernsis one of the Upstate NY attractions you don't want to miss.
When the elevator sinks lower and lower. Anticipation builds. The elevator doors open 156 feet below the earth's surface. Slowly, your eyes adjust to the invading darkness. The silence of life below the surface overwhelms. Dripping water resounds off the glistening limestone walls. And as the dim light engulfs you, cool air fills your lungs. 
Your journey winds through limestone corridors, cavernous galleries, under massive boulders, to a subterranean riverbed carved over countless millennia. Deep in the cave, solid rock appears fluid: creating strange formations, flowing sheets and dripping stalactites. Mysterious grottos lead off into distant, unexplored passages. Shadows hide secrets in every crack and crevice. The path twists and turns ever downward to the glassy surface of an underground lake that trails off into the absolute darkness of the cave's Eastern Terminus... this is the Howe Caverns experience.

Optional: 1000 Island Cruise (Summer) or How Cavern (Winter)

Day 2 : Niagara Fall (Day view) - Watkins Glen(Summer) or Corning Glass Museum(Winter) (500 miles)
