The cruise runs from May 1 to November 30, weather permitting, and is replaced by the thrilling Journey Behind the Falls when unavailable.

Descend 125 feet and explore 130-year-old tunnels carved through the bedrock, taking you behind the spectacular Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Step onto the observation deck at the base of this 13-story natural wonder. Wear the iconic blue and yellow raincoats for the perfect photo opportunity right by the falls.
Time: Approx. 1 Hour
Your tour guide will arrange 1 to 2 scenic photo stops, changing with the season, which may feature the Floral Clock, Queenston Heights Lookout, Niagara Whirlpool, or the Hydroelectric Power Stations.

The Niagara Falls Day Tour lasts about 9 hours, depending on your pick-up point and traffic. Pick-ups in Toronto are between 7:30 – 8:05 AM, and in Mississauga at 8:35 AM. Returns are typically 4:30 – 5:00 PM to Mississauga and 5:00 – 6:00 PM to Toronto, though times may vary with daily conditions.
If you have an early evening flight, we recommend avoiding this tour, as occasional delays could extend the return past 6:00 PM.

Make your tour even more unforgettable by adding skip-the-line tickets for top attractions! Choose from the Hornblower Boat Cruise or Journey Behind the Falls. While wait times are usually short in the off-season, they can stretch for hours during peak times.
Still deciding? No worries! You can purchase attraction tickets on the day of your tour directly from your guide—there’s no chance of missing out.
For extra thrills, consider adding a Niagara Helicopter ride or a visit to the Skylon Tower. These aren’t available for pre-booking since they can be canceled due to fog or strong winds, making it easier to secure them on the day without dealing with refunds.
Beyond the Hornblower Boat Cruise or Journey Behind the Falls, you’ll have time to enjoy at least one more attraction—sometimes even two, depending on the day’s schedule. Other thrilling options include:
A 12-minute helicopter flight over the falls (~C$170 with our tour discount)
The Skylon Tower observation deck (~C$21)
The Niagara SkyWheel (~C$18)
Ziplining alongside the waterfalls (~C$100)
A variety of other smaller activities around Niagara Falls
Important: Please do not buy attraction tickets in advance, as our itinerary may change daily and exact times can’t be guaranteed. For the helicopter ride, your guide will call ahead in the morning to confirm safe flying conditions. You’ll also enjoy a discount if you purchase tickets directly at the helicopter booth with our special partnership pricing!
Savor a variety of dining experiences in Niagara Falls! From budget-friendly fast food and casual cafes to elegant sit-down restaurants—some with stunning views of the waterfalls.
Want to bring your own food? Feel free to enjoy a picnic in the park or dine indoors.
Tip: Ask your tour guide for personalized recommendations. We don’t suggest booking ahead, as the day’s schedule may change.
Our Niagara Falls Day Tour delivers an unforgettable experience all year, with slight differences between summer and winter.
Summer Tours: Follow our full tour itinerary, including the optional Hornblower Boat Cruise, running from around May 1 to December 1, weather permitting. See Niagara Falls in all its stunning summer glory!
Winter Tours: The tour is often shorter due to lighter traffic, colder temperatures, and shorter lines. When the Hornblower Boat Cruise isn’t running, we include Journey Behind the Falls tickets instead. Niagara transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland, with snow and ice creating a magical landscape.
No matter the season, Niagara Falls amazes—lush parks and gardens in summer or sparkling icy scenery in winter. Either way, it’s an unforgettable adventure, and we’re grateful you’re considering joining our tour!
