Itinerary and highlights

Pass by the iconic Skylon Tower, rising 520 feet above the Niagara Falls skyline. This landmark observation tower has been one of the most recognizable features of Niagara Falls, Canada for decades and offers panoramic views of the Falls and surrounding Niagara region.

As you make your way through the Fallsview district, you will pass Fallsview Casino Resort, one of the largest entertainment complexes in Canada. Overlooking the Niagara Falls skyline, the resort features luxury hotels, restaurants, theaters, and gaming floors. Your guide will share how this area developed into Niagara Falls’ premier tourism and entertainment hub.

Experience Niagara Falls, Canada from a whole new perspective with the Falls Incline Railway! This short but scenic ride takes you on a smooth descent down the Niagara Escarpment, offering breathtaking views of the Horseshoe Falls and the surrounding landscape while your guide gives you insights into what make the falls so special!

As you continue along the Niagara Parkway toward the boat dock, you will pass the historic Niagara Parks Power Station. Once the largest hydroelectric generating station on the Niagara River, this massive industrial landmark helped power cities across Ontario for more than a century

Pass by the Table Rock Welcome Centre, located just steps from the brink of Horseshoe Falls and serving as the gateway to several of Niagara’s most popular attractions.

Descend deep into the bedrock and explore tunnels that lead you right behind the mighty Horseshoe Falls. Feel the thunderous roar and sheer power of the water crashing down just feet away, and step onto the observation deck at the base of the Falls for a once-in-a-lifetime view. This is your chance to experience Niagara like never before!

Stroll through Queen Victoria Park, a beautifully landscaped garden promenade that stretches along the Niagara River and offers some of the most iconic viewpoints of Niagara Falls.

From Table Rock, your guide leads the group along the Niagara Parkway toward the Niagara City Cruises dock. The Niagara Parkway follows the Niagara River and was once described as “the prettiest Sunday drive in the world.”

Walk along the Niagara River promenade with breathtaking views of the famous Horseshoe Falls, the largest and most powerful of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls.

As you walk along the Niagara Parkway, enjoy stunning views of the American Falls. Located between Goat Island and Luna Island, this powerful waterfall drops more than 100 feet into the Niagara Gorge. Your guide will point out the unique rock formations at the base of the falls and explain how erosion has shaped this iconic section of Niagara Falls over thousands of years.

Embark on the trip of a lifetime with Niagara City Cruises aboard the iconic Hornblower boat ride. Get up close to the powerful Falls, so close you can feel the mist! Take in breathtaking views of both the majestic Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the stunning American Bridal Veil Falls for an unforgettable experience. (Poncho's provided!)
