Overview

This four-hour bus tour covers the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, focusing on close-up views and key attractions. It begins with hotel pickup and ends with drop-off at your Niagara Falls hotel. The tour includes skip-the-line tickets for a 30-minute boat cruise that sails to the base of the falls, where passengers wear provided recyclable mist ponchos to stay dry while photographing the falls. If the boat cruise is not operating due to season, a different attraction will be offered instead. After the boat ride, the tour proceeds to Journey Behind the Falls. An elevator descends to tunnels located 125 feet behind the falls, allowing visitors to feel the water's force and learn about the falls' history and figures who attempted challenges there. The guide provides information on the falls' geography and age, approximately 12,500 years. Additional stops include Table Rock Welcome Centre at the edge of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, where visitors can take pictures of the falls, rainbows, and sunset views while seeing historical items like the old scow and floral garden. The tour also offers about an hour of free time on Clifton Hill, a lively street with various attractions, restaurants, and nearby gardens such as Oakes Garden. Other sightseeing highlights include Queen Victoria Park, one of Canada's oldest parks, where the bus drives along Niagara Parkway with views of the Niagara River and flower beds. The optional visit to Skylon Tower features a 236-meter-high glass elevator ride and an observation deck with wide views of the falls. The tour concludes with a scenic return to hotel drop-off. The tour includes a professional guide, hotel pickup and drop-off, skip-the-line access to main activities, and a recyclable mist poncho. Amenities on the bus include air conditioning, reclining seats, seat belts, cup holders, and phone charging stations.
