A. Experiences

Niagara Falls from the Canada Side, overlooking US Side

1. Niagara Falls Canada

Opposite Niagara Falls, New York, is Niagara Falls, Canada, on the US-Canada border. The city may be reached by car in approximately one hour and a half from Hamilton and Toronto, respectively.

Of course, Niagara Falls, a triad of cascades that includes the famous Horseshoe Falls, recognized as one of the world’s natural wonders, is the main draw.

2. Journey Behind The Falls

The Niagara Parkway leads to Journey Behind the Falls, which has an entrance within the Table Rock Center with a view of the falls.
Journey Behind the Falls offers you the chance to see the magnificent Niagara Falls from an incredibly different angle.

3. Cave of The Winds

This is located on Goat Island in Niagara Falls State Park. You will get a closer look at the Niagara Falls than you ever would have imagined on the Cave of the Winds excursion.

You take an elevator down into the Niagara Gorge, 175 feet (53 meters). Then, after donning the required boots and a bright yellow poncho, you accompany a tour guide down a sequence of wooden pathways to the well-known “Hurricane Deck.” Standing at the railing, you are only 20 feet (6 meters) away from Bridal Veil Falls’ gushing waterfalls.

Facing the thunderous Falls head-on, the rushing waves tower over you, showering you with spray. In general, rainbows can be seen during day and night.

Everyone can view the Niagara Falls 150 feet from the base of the Falls, a deck expressly made for those with disabilities and adults carrying small children in arms has been constructed.
