What You’ll Experience on the Tour

Get Up Close to the Falls

Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Niagara Falls up close.
You’ll have plenty of free time to explore the area at your own pace, grab incredible photos, and take in the sights and sounds of one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders.
As we arrive, you’ll see the Niagara River rushing toward both the American Falls and the Canadian Horseshoe Falls before plunging into the Great Gorge...an unforgettable moment on every tour!
‍

Here’s a little bit of the story behind the Falls, told simply:

Niagara Falls formed about 12,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age.
Water from four Great Lakes (Superior, Huron, Michigan, and Erie) flows through the Niagara River into Lake Ontario and eventually the Atlantic Ocean.
The river is only 58 km (36 miles) long, but it drops 99 m (326 ft.) between the two lakes, creating the power that carved the Niagara Gorge.
Today, over 90% of the river’s flow goes over the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, dropping 57 meters (188 ft.).
Together, the Falls send more than half a million gallons of water per second crashing over the edge...enough to fill a million bathtubs every minute!

You'll be right there to see it for yourself!

Scenic Drive with picture stops:

One of the best parts of the day is the drive itself. Your Fall for Niagara tour follows the scenic Niagara Parkway, tracing the river all the way to Lake Ontario — a route once famously described by Winston Churchill as “the prettiest Sunday drive in the world.” Along the route, we make several photo stops so you can take in the views and snap some great pictures.
‍

Hydroelectric Dams

The Niagara River doesn’t just look powerful — it is. Along the route, you’ll see two massive power stations: the Robert Moses Station on the U.S. side and the Sir Adam Beck Station on the Canadian side. Water is diverted before the Falls through underground tunnels into large reservoirs, then released back into the Niagara Gorge through penstocks, spinning turbines and generating millions of kilowatts of electricity.

Floral Clock (Seasonal)

A favourite photo stop for many guests, the Floral Clock was built in 1950 and is made up of more than 15,000 plants, redesigned twice each year during the growing season. With a face over 12 metres (40 ft.) across, it’s one of the largest floral clocks in the world.

Whirlpool Rapids

One of the most dramatic spots on the river. Here, the Niagara River makes a sharp 90-degree turn, creating powerful Class 6 rapids — the highest rating. The Whirlpool itself reaches depths of up to 35 metres (120 ft.), with water racing through the narrow gorge at speeds of up to 40 km (25 miles) per hour.
