Tour itinerary
Want to learn more about Niagara Falls? This is the trip with the most famous, must-do activities. Let’s get started.
Begin with an exhilarating trip up to the observation deck at the top of the beautiful Skylon Tower after a hotel pickup from the New York or Ontario side. From 520 feet (158 m), you can see the Niagara River and all three waterfalls—the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.
Then, go to the US side and prepare for an unforgettable adventure aboard the Maid of the Mist cruise. This is the finest way to enjoy one of the world’s most magnificent natural wonders. The voyage runs from early May through late October.
During the remainder of the year, take the Journey Behind the Falls trip, where the sound of the falls is like thunder and the vista is stunning. Stand in the mist and experience the surge where the Horseshoe Falls roar from 13 stories above, dropping over 700,000 gallons of water every second at 40 miles per hour. That is really strong.
Table Rock Centre, a retail and observation complex on the edge of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls; Queen Victoria Park, the main parkland in Niagara Falls, opposite the Canadian Horseshoe and American Falls (with Sir Harry Oakes Gardens); the Upper Canadian Rapids from Three Sisters Island, the Lower Niagara River and Gorge, and Whirlpool State Park, overlooking the Niagara Whirlpool with spectacular views of the rapids, the whirlpool itself.
Please keep in mind that the Maid of the Mist segment of this excursion leaves from the American side of Niagara Falls. All clients booking this journey must have proper documentation to enter the United States and Canada.
