Highlights

Experience Niagara Falls in a way few visitors ever do as you see the iconic cascade from high and low. Start with sweeping panoramas from the Skylon Tower before stepping into the new Daredevils Exhibit to learn the real stories behind Niagara’s most daring stunts. A relaxed walk with a local guide along the boardwalk reveals iconic photo ops. Finally, with pre-reserved entry to Journey Behind the Falls, the experience ends behind the falls themselves just feet from the thunderous water. Thoughtfully paced and packed with insider knowledge, this tour is ideal for travelers wanting to make the most of limited time while discovering new perspectives of a legendary natural wonder.

About Niagara Falls & Around

Niagara Falls is where the Niagara River drops between Ontario and New York, with wine country, historic towns and a deep gorge close by.

The Niagara River plunges over the Niagara Escarpment in three falls: the curved Horseshoe Falls, mostly on the Canadian side, and the American and Bridal Veil Falls across the border in New York. Boats carry passengers to the foot of the Horseshoe Falls, and walkways follow the rim of the gorge. After dark the water is lit in changing colours.
