Overview

This 5-6 hour bus and helicopter tour covers key sights on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Pickup is included from select hotels in Niagara Falls, Canada and USA, or a meeting point in downtown Toronto. The tour starts with a narrated drive along the Niagara River Parkway, passing natural and engineered landmarks such as Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, Niagara Scow, Toronto Power Generating Station, and Niagara Parks Power Station. Next, you descend about 125 feet through tunnels to visit Journey Behind the Falls, where observation decks sit just behind the Horseshoe Falls, letting you feel the mist and hear the water crashing. After this, the group heads to the Skylon Tower for a one-hour lunch buffet at the Summit Suite, located over 500 feet above the falls with wide views of the area. The tour continues with a boat ride on Niagara City Cruises from May to December, taking you close to the base of the Horseshoe Falls through the mist. In winter months (January to April), this boat ride is replaced with admission to Niagara Takes Flight, a flying theatre attraction offering a different view of the falls. You then take a 12-minute helicopter flight, soaring over Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the Niagara River for aerial views. The tour uses Mercedes luxury vans for transfers, and a professional guide accompanies you throughout. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, while gratuities are not.
