The cruise wait line wasn't long and demanding. Wait time for us was around 15 minutes, but definitely worth it. I stood at the top of the boat in the middle raised platform and had a great view. The captain brought us close to all the falls and made sure we were well drenched at the main attraction. Definitely don't wear socks, shoes, or pants if you plan on not going to your hotel for a bit.

Combine a helicopter flight, city boat ride, and tunnel walk behind the curtain of water on an outing led by a local guide plus a narrated drive.

Enjoy a guided driving tour, then use your included city boat ticket, helicopter ride, and Journey Behind the Falls access for one joined outing.

Spot Horseshoe Falls from every angle, and see Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, and the Old Scow during the guided driving portions.

Upgrade from the 4.5 hour small-group outing to a 5.5 hour private tour, and add Skylon Tower entry.

Our tour guide very informative. He looked after us and made sure we knew where we were going. The helicopter tour was the highlight! It was a bucket list item.

Mr Frank was so kind and courteous. We loved having him and the next best part was the helicopter ride. Everyone had fun seeing the falls from all angles.
