Embark on a sightseeing boat tour of Niagara covering Journey Behind The Falls, Skylon Tower, Whirlpool Rapids Bridge and Niagara Falls Canada.
The tour is pretty much incomplete without it. Whether you are traveling with family, your significant other, or friends, this famed Niagara Falls boat excursion is a “must-do” while in the area.
Enjoy the cooling mist on your skin during a 20-minute wonderful trip along the Niagara River. Niagara City Cruises departs on the Canadian side of the Falls and travels by the Great Gorge, American Falls, and Canadian Horseshoe Falls.
*Due to our classic Canadian winters, this cruise is seasonal. While the exact dates vary each year, it normally lasts from April or May until late November. (replaced by admittance to Niagara’s Fury during the winter months) Also included are Journey Behind the Falls.

We will join the Niagara City Cruises by Hornblower boat excursion for convenient access. Prepare to be astounded by the immense strength and mystical mist of the world-renowned Falls. The panoramic views from the boat are extremely exciting.
1 Hour – Free Entry Ticket
2. Journey Behind The Falls
To be at the heart of Niagara, you must first drop 125 feet and visit 130-year-old tunnels beneath the bedrock, but you will feel the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls long before you see them.
The observation platform at the base of this 13-story wonder will leave you breathless (and possibly a little wet), but don’t miss the viewing portals that cut directly through the rock, providing a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water rushing down in front of you.
1 Hour – Free Entry Ticket
3. Skylon Tower
Enjoy breathtaking views of Niagara Falls and the surrounding areas. Our Ride-to-the-Top and Indoor/Outdoor Observation Decks are popular attractions around the region.
