To mark the launch of its brand new 'Niagara Wines and Waterfront Trail by Bike' trip, World Expeditions picks below some of the most spectacular waterfalls around the globe…

Kaieteur Falls, Guyana
An eco-tourism hotspot, English speaking Guyana is one of the few remaining unexplored destinations in South America. On this new 'raw' adventure, you will trek through wildlife-rich virgin rainforests, cross mountain streams and walk across jungle bridges to the isolated Kaieteur Falls, which are seen by only a handful of visitors each year. Considered to be the highest single drop water fall in the world, they are protected within a National Park, standing spectacularly as a monolith amid the lush green Amazon jungle.

• Guyana - Overland to Kaieteur Falls [NEW FOR 2015] (8 days) departs February-August, from £1,790 per person

Angel Falls, Venezuela
Angel Falls, the world's highest waterfall, may be Venezuela's top tourist attraction but getting there can be complicated – they are located in a remote jungle so most people arrange a scenic flight to take in the grandeur of the 978-metre high falls. Especially for adventure seekers, World Expeditions has crafted a remote trek through almost inaccessible, tropical jungle. You will ascend to the summit plateau of Auyan Tepui, visit a number of remote Indian communities and marvel at the views of the vast jungle canopy before following the river to the foot of the majestic Angel Falls.

• Venezuela - The Lost World and Angel Falls (15 days) departs on selected dates July-December, from £2,090 per person

Havasupai Falls, USA
Grand Canyon is one of America's most awe-inspiring icons, however most visitors hardly leave the main viewing platforms… To truly appreciate what makes Grand Canyon such a unique geological marvel World Expeditions takes you off the beaten track, following the lesser known Havasupai Hike through dramatic landscapes. Originally meaning 'people of the blue-green waters', Havasupai takes its name from the sacred waterfalls which contrast spectacularly against the canyon's striking red rock walls and the isolated community that can be found within the Indian Reservation.

• Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountain Trails (15 days) departs June-September, from £2,090 per person

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe/Zambia
The world's largest sheet of falling water – stretching for over a mile in width – the immense falls of the Zambezi River are spectacular in every way. They are known as Mosi-oa-Tunya ('the smoke that thunders') in the native Lozi language, while David Livingstone, the first European to see the mighty Victoria Falls, wrote afterwards that such “scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight”. World Expeditions offers a number of trips that combine Victoria Falls with some of the most exhilarating countries in southern Africa, such as Botswana, Namibia and Zambia.

• Namibia to Victoria Falls Explorer (16 days) departs on selected dates May-December, from £1,490 per person

Niagara Falls, United States/Canada
Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle an international border between Canada and the United States. The largest waterfall by volume in North America (and probably the most photographed waterfall on earth!), its name derives from the indigenous Iroquois Indian word for 'the strait'. This new trip by World Expeditions offers a complete discovery of the Niagara Peninsula by bike, cycling the Waterfront Trail through award winning wineries, along the historic Welland Canals and following picturesque country roads dotted with fruit plantations.
