Full description

Niagara Falls is about an hour and a half’s drive from Toronto around the end of Lake Ontario. With hotel pickup and a guide, this day trip takes care of the logistics so you can enjoy the falls themselves. You start with the boat cruise that sails right up to the base of the Horseshoe Falls, where the spray and the roar are overwhelming.

After lunch your guide leads a walk along the Niagara Parkway to Table Rock, right at the edge of the falls, and gives you free time for the optional extras, such as Journey Behind the Falls or the Skylon Tower. On the way back there is usually a stop at the pretty town of Niagara-on-the-Lake in the heart of Ontario’s wine country.

Know before you go

  • The boat cruise runs roughly from spring to autumn; in winter it is replaced by another attraction.
  • You will get wet on the boat; ponchos are handed out on board.
  • Bring a passport if you plan to walk across to the US side on your own (not part of the tour).
  • Traffic on the highway can lengthen the day.

Frequently asked questions

Do we see the falls from the US side?

What happens in winter?

The boats don't run, so we quote an alternative such as Journey Behind the Falls.
