About this experience

After a hotel pickup, head to the central part of Niagara Falls with a guide, who will provide a detailed tour of the Canadian side of the falls, offering stories, history and fun facts along the way.

Start with an exciting ride up to the observation deck at the top of the Skylon Tower. Enjoy the incredible view of the Niagara River and all three waterfalls — the American, Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls from 520 feet in the air.

Next, experience the Journey Behind the Falls excursion, where the sound is like thunder and the view is unparalleled. See the Horseshoe Falls rumble from 13 stories above — dropping over 700,000 gallons of water every second at 40 miles per hour.

Then, during summer and fall months, take a Niagara City Cruise for an up-close look at the falls. In winter and spring months, enjoy the Butterfly Conservatory, Niagara Fury and/or White Water Walk. Afterward, continue to the Whirlpool Rapids, the largest series of standing waves in North America.
