The Whirlpool in the Niagara Gorge is a powerful and captivating natural feature formed by the Niagara River as it flows through the gorge. Located just downstream from Niagara Falls, the Whirlpool is renowned for its swirling, turbulent waters, which create a dramatic display of whitewater as the river makes a sharp turn. This circular motion results in a large, whirlpool-like effect that can be both mesmerizing and intimidating.

Stand on the splash decks as 2,800 cubic meters of water thunder down each second, soaking you in mist (ponchos provided!). When the cruise isn't running (November-April), we automatically substitute an equally spectacular attraction - like Journey Behind the Falls or Niagara Takes Flight- so you'll always get an unforgettable waterfall encounter.

Stop 6

Journey Behind the Falls lets you experience Niagara's power from inside the bedrock! Descend 125 ft through tunnels to stand directly behind the thundering curtain of Horseshoe Falls. Feel the vibrations through the rock as 2,800 cubic meters of water crash down just feet away from the observation portals. The included waterproof poncho ensures you stay dry while getting closer to the falls than anywhere else on land. It's the ultimate immersive encounter with Niagara's raw power.

Stop 7

Skylon Tower - Niagara's Ultimate Bird's-Eye View
Soar 775 feet above the falls in glass-enclosed elevators to Ontario's most spectacular observation decks. The 360° panorama captures the full majesty of the waterfalls, and distant Toronto skyline. A must-visit for photographers and romantics alike!
