About this experience
Experience the best Niagara Falls has to offer on this stress-free trip. Join our morning departure from Toronto on a climate-controlled vehicle, complete with reclining seats, storage for bags and a professional guide. Along the way, the guide will provide local facts, point out hidden gems, and equip you with insider tips. Our first stop is the Niagara Falls Cruise.
Arriving early enables us to skip the large crowds and queues, hopping right onto the boat. From the water, you're able to capture the most powerful view of the falls, as water plummets over the edge. Keepsake rain ponchos will be provided on site.
After the cruise, enjoy approximately 2 hours of free time while you explore Clifton Hill, Journey Behind the Falls, Skylon Tower, Skywheel or the zipline (additional cost). Mid afternoon we will travel along the Niagara Parkway and visit the whirlpool rapids followed by a stop at Maple Leaf Place for a Maple Syrup tasting experience.
