Private Niagara Falls Premium Driving Tour

About this experience

Your private tour begins with a local guide greeting you at your downtown Niagara Falls hotel. First, you’ll visit the Skylon Tower, ascending 520 ft. in a glass elevator for breathtaking views of all three falls and the surrounding area.

Next, descend 125 ft. at Journey Behind the Falls to explore tunnels and observation decks that bring you up close to the falls’ power and beauty.

You'll then board the seasonal Voyage to the Falls boat (seasonal, May - December) to sail near the Falls, where you’ll feel the mist—rain ponchos provided! In winter, the boat ride is replaced by admission to Niagara Takes Flight.

End your tour with a narrated driving tour of Niagara’s highlights, including the Dufferin Islands, Whirlpool Rapids, and the Floral Clock.

Enjoy a comfortable return to your hotel in a Mercedes Metris van. Book your exclusive Niagara Falls tour today!

Itinerary and highlights

To begin your tour your See Sight Tour guide will take you to the Skylon Tower where 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.

Enjoy a peaceful stop at Dufferin Islands, a scenic oasis of lush greenery, winding trails, and quiet waterways just minutes from the Falls.

Next, 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. The tunnels lead to two observation decks, giving you the perfect photo opportunity.

Feel the thrill and power of the Whirlpool Rapids—one of the world’s most intense stretches of white water. Here, the Niagara River narrows dramatically, creating roaring Class 6 rapids with waves reaching up to 15 feet. Witness the breathtaking force and swirling currents that carve this natural wonder, while your expert guide shares fascinating stories of the river’s geology, daring adventures, and legendary feats. A must-see stop on your Niagara Falls journey!

A short stop at the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station to see one of the world’s largest hydroelectric plants and learn how Niagara’s powerful waters are harnessed to generate renewable energy.

End your exclusive, private tour with a narrated driving tour of the city where you will learn about Niagara’s rich history and distinct geography. During the driving portion of your tour, your guide will take you to several points of interest including the Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, the Old Scow, Whirlpool Rapids, and the Floral Clock.

Boat cruise ride into the mist of the Falls aboard Hornblower Niagara Cruises.
