This award-winning tour showcases Niagara Falls from every perspective—above, beside, behind, and at the very base of the Falls. Experience the power of Niagara Falls on a Niagara City Cruises (Hornblower) boat ride (seasonal, operating May–November only and replaced with admission to Niagara Takes Flight), explore the tunnels behind the cascading water at Journey Behind the Falls, and take in panoramic views from the observation deck of the Skylon Tower. Along the way, enjoy a narrated driving tour that brings the region's unique geography and history to life.
Your experience begins with pickup from your Niagara Falls hotel before making your way to the Skylon Tower. Rising 520 feet above the landscape in a glass lift, the observation deck offers sweeping views of all three waterfalls—Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls—as well as the Niagara River and surrounding parklands.
Back at ground level, continue to Journey Behind the Falls, where you'll descend approximately 125 feet to a network of tunnels carved into the bedrock behind the Horseshoe Falls. Feel the vibration of the rushing water and listen to its thunderous roar as you make your way to observation portals and viewing platforms positioned beside the Falls.
Next, board the Niagara City Cruises Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour (seasonal, operating May–November only and replaced with admission to Niagara Takes Flight from January–April). Cruise through the Niagara Gorge and towards the base of the Falls, where the mist rises from the water and the scale of Niagara becomes impossible to ignore. A recyclable rain poncho is provided for the journey.
The tour concludes with a narrated drive through Niagara Falls, featuring several of the area's most notable landmarks and viewpoints. Pass through the Dufferin Islands, see the International Control Dam and the Old Scow, and stop to admire the Whirlpool Rapids and the Floral Clock before returning to your hotel.
