Coming to NYC for 5 days in Feb. Thinking about doing one of the day tours to the Niagra Falls, There about $350.
Has anyone been on them or used it is the past? Any stories what the experience is like would be great, as its a long way to go for one day.

A day tour ? Niagara Falls is really pretty but it's also a 800 mile or so round trip from NYC. That adds up to a very long day . If you factor in the very real possibility of encountering heavy snow your day just got a whole lot longer.
As long as you're into standing over freezing bodies of water you may want to go out the the very eastern tip of Long Island - Montauk Point.
The long Island rail road will get you out there in about 2.5 hrs. and about $ 30.00 round trip.
It's around 7 miles from the train station to the point and since the local cab companies do lttle business in winter I'm sure you. could arrange a good rate for taking you around.
Montauk is absolutley beautiful and worth it .

I went to new york this time last year and we thought about doing this trip but it does take up one of your days in NYC and we stayed for 5 days but didnt end up doing the trip cos there is soooo much to see in NY and you cant do it all in 5 days nm 4 days xxx we are just gonna do a seperate trip to Niagra falls next year now and then going to ny again.

February in Niagara Falls would not be my first choice, but the Falls are still there but otherwise the place looks pretty bleak with nothing growing. I would think renting a car and driving yourself could be done for less than $ 350 but you would have to check that. You realize that to make the trip worthwhile, you pretty well have to go to the Canadian side. I live near the Falls and have not taken the bus trip you mentioned.

we stayed on the USA side.. it was kinda boring.. It was cold too.
Maybe the Canadian side is cooler and has a better view.
don't forget long island like montauk, fire island and such.
