About this activity

Discover the very best of Niagara Falls from both the United States and Canada in one seamless guided adventure.

Your experience begins with convenient hotel pickup on either side of the border or from our central Toronto meeting point at 120 Bremner Blvd. Start on the American side with a guided walk through Goat Island, stopping at Luna Island and Terrapin Point for incredible views of the American and Bridal Veil Falls.

Descend into Cave of the Winds, where you’ll stand just feet from the crashing water. Then board the iconic Maid of the Mist and sail into the basin of the Horseshoe Falls for an unforgettable up-close experience. In winter, this is replaced with Journey Behind the Falls.

Cross into Canada to ascend the Skylon Tower for panoramic views. Enjoy a scenic drive along the Niagara Parkway with stops at the Floral Clock, Whirlpool Rapids, and Table Rock before returning to your original pickup location.
