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 AT:

Your Fall for Niagara day tour includes a beautiful drive following the Niagara River to Lake Ontario. There are four photo stops on the Niagara parkway which include the Queenston Heights, hydroelectric dams, Floral Clock and Whirlpool rapids.
‍
‍
‍Hydro-electric Dams
Two large power stations produce approx. 5 million H.P. (4 million KW) of electricity from the Niagara River. On the American side it is the Robert Moses Station, and on the Canadian side, the Sir Adam Beck Station. Water is diverted before Niagara Falls in a series of underground tunnels and canals, into two large reservoirs behind the big dams. Using the high drop of elevation back into the Niagara River Gorge, the water flows through the penstocks, driving the turbines and producing electricity. On your Niagara Falls day tour with Chariots of Fire, you will have a good view of how this takes place.

‍Floral Clock (Seasonal)
A favorite place for photos on your Toronto to Niagara bus tour, this electric clock was built in 1950 and consists of over 15,000 small plants imbedded close together and changed twice a year during the growing season. It is one of the world’s largest floral clocks with the face being over 12 meters (40 ft.) In diameter.

‍Whirlpool Rapids
At Niagara Falls, there is a 90° bend in the Niagara River. The only other big bend in the river is at the Whirlpool, another 90°. This Whirlpool is up to 35 meters (120 ft.) deep. The Whirlpool phenomenon is created by the large volume of water flowing at a fast speed. Then narrow river gorge has water moving at 40 km (25 miles) per hour with class 6 rapids- the highest rank.
