Niagara City Cruises boat cruise

For variants that include the boat cruise, your ticket for the Niagara City Cruises boat is part of your booking. This cruise provides a water-level perspective of Niagara Falls.

Features

Journey Behind the Falls

On variants that feature Journey Behind the Falls, your admission is part of the package. This attraction offers access to viewing areas located closer to the falls themselves.

Features

• Entry to Journey Behind the Falls is included as per the option selected, removing the need for you to organize a separate ticket.

Wrapping up

At the end of the guided route and any selected attraction visits, your small-group tour concludes with hotel drop-off back in Niagara Falls.
