Niagara Falls Canadian Side Small-Group Tour: Seasonal Boat Ride, Journey Behind the Falls & Skylon Tower

Explore Niagara Falls on a guided vehicle tour with included attractions, round-trip transfers, and your choice of boat ride or flying theatre.

Getting started

Begin with pickup from your Niagara Falls hotel, where your guide meets you in the lobby or at the main door and calls your name. Board a brand new minivan and settle in with complimentary bottled water as your fully guided vehicle tour sets off on the Canadian side of the falls. Listen as your knowledgeable guide starts the live storytelling while you head toward your first attraction.

What to expect

Boat Ride or Flying Theatre attraction

This first core stop changes with the option you select: in peak season you join the Boat Ride, while in winter or spring you visit the Flying Theatre attraction instead.

Features

• With the Guided Tour + Boat Ride option, you join the Boat Ride and get right up close to the falls, while your professional guide shares context before and after your time on the water.
• On the Guided Tour + Flying Theatre Attraction option, you experience the Flying Theatre attraction, combining motion seats and visuals with commentary from your guide to frame what you are seeing.
• Admission to the Boat Ride or Flying Theatre attraction, as per the option selected, is included in your tour so you do not need to organize separate tickets for this part of the experience.

Journey Behind the Falls

Next, your guide brings you to Journey Behind the Falls, where you access tunnels and viewpoints close to the base of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

Features

• Inside Journey Behind the Falls, you explore viewing portals and platforms that let you see the immense curtain of water from below and behind, while your expert guide helps you interpret the experience.
• Entry to Journey Behind the Falls is included with your tour, so you move straight into this attraction as part of the guided schedule.

Skylon Tower

Afterwards, you continue to Skylon Tower, one of the most recognizable viewpoints on the Canadian side.

Features

• From Skylon Tower, you can observe the Niagara Falls area from above, including views toward Queen Victoria Park and across the Niagara River.
• Entry to Skylon Tower is part of your inclusions, and your professional guide is on hand to point out key sights from the observation level.

Clifton Hill, Queen Victoria Park, Rainbow Bridge, and Spanish Aero Car

Between major stops, your guided vehicle route takes you past several well-known Niagara landmarks on the Canadian side.

Features

• As you drive by Clifton Hill, your guide explains its role as an entertainment strip, highlighting how it contrasts with the more landscaped areas nearby.
• Passing Queen Victoria Park, you see green spaces and walking paths that frame different angles of the falls, which your guide references in the live storytelling.
• At viewpoints near the Rainbow Bridge and the Spanish Aero Car, you get photo opportunities of the span across the river and the Spanish Aero Car from the road, while your guide shares background on these crossings.
• Throughout these sections of the route, round-trip transfers in a brand new minivan and complimentary bottled water are included so you can focus on the scenery and commentary rather than logistics.

Maple Leaf Place

Later in the tour, you stop at Maple Leaf Place for a tasting that connects you with a classic Canadian product.

Features

• At Maple Leaf Place, you take part in a maple syrup tasting, comparing flavors and learning about production, with your guide available to answer questions.
