About this experience
Once inside the Skylon Tower you will ascend 520 ft. in a glass elevator to the observation deck where you will be treated to an incredible, birds-eye view of all three Niagara Falls (Bridal Veil Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and the American Falls), as well as the Niagara River and surrounding area.
You will have descend 125 ft (approx. 40m) to explore cave-like tunnels behind the Falls at Journey Behind the Falls. This experience is a treat for the senses as you’ll be able to not only hear the falls but feel them as well.
Then take the Niagara City Cruises boat cruise for an up-close look at the falls (seasonal: May to December), at which point your tour will come to a close and you and your guide will part ways. On your cruise, you will sail around the Niagara gorge and get as close as possible to the Falls.
In winter and spring months, the cruise is replaced with Niagara Takes Flight.

Itinerary and highlights
Your experience begins at the iconic Skylon Tower. After meeting your guide, ascend 775 feet in a glass elevator to the observation deck where you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Niagara Falls, the Niagara River, and the surrounding region. Your guide will point out Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls while sharing fascinating stories about the formation of the falls and the history of tourism in Niagara.
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.
Ride the Falls Incline Railway down the Niagara escarpment toward Table Rock and the brink of Horseshoe Falls. This scenic funicular ride provides incredible views of the Niagara River and the surrounding parklands while transporting visitors directly to the falls area.
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.”
Located directly beside the brink of Horseshoe Falls, Table Rock is one of the closest viewpoints to the waterfall and a historic gathering place for visitors to Niagara Falls.
Your experience concludes with Niagara’s most famous attraction, the Niagara City Cruises boat ride. Sail through the Niagara Gorge and get as close as possible to the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the powerful Horseshoe Falls. Ponchos are provided as you experience the incredible mist and thunder of the waterfalls up close.
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.
Descend 125 feet through tunnels carved into the bedrock to experience the incredible power of the Horseshoe Falls from behind the waterfall itself. Step onto the outdoor observation deck where you’ll feel the thunderous vibration of the water crashing into the Niagara Gorge below.
Enjoy a walk through the beautifully landscaped Queen Victoria Park, known for its gardens, walking paths, and unobstructed views of the waterfalls.
Along the way, you’ll stop for stunning viewpoints overlooking 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.
