After visiting the Tesla statue, your guide will bring you to The next stop on your tour will be Luna Island which separates the American and Bridal Veil Falls. This Island was originally called Prospect Island but it was renamed for the famous lunar rainbows that appear over it on bright, moonlit nights.

Your tour will then continue onward to the Three Sisters Islands. The islands are connected by bridges which allow pedestrians to walk across all three for grand views of the raging rapids of the Niagara River before its descent  into the Horseshoe Falls.
