Full description
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. From there, you’ll head to the American side to begin exploring the Falls up close. Walk through Goat Island, where dramatic viewpoints showcase the American and Bridal Veil Falls. Stop at Luna Island and Terrapin Point for breathtaking panoramas and unbeatable photo opportunities.
Next, descend into the thrilling Cave of the Winds experience. Wearing a poncho, you’ll walk along wooden decks just feet from the crashing Bridal Veil Falls, feeling the mist and hearing the thunder of the water around you.
Then, board the world-famous Maid of the Mist boat tour. Sail directly into the basin of the Horseshoe Falls and experience the raw power of Niagara from the water — a bucket-list moment and one of the most iconic experiences in North America. (During the winter months when the boat is not operating, this experience is replaced with Journey Behind the Falls on the Canadian side, offering a powerful and immersive view from behind the cascading water.)
After your American-side exploration, you’ll cross into Canada to continue the adventure. Ascend the Skylon Tower Observation Deck for sweeping, panoramic views of all three waterfalls and the Niagara region from high above.
Enjoy a scenic drive along the stunning Niagara Parkway, with stops at the historic Floral Clock and the dramatic Whirlpool Rapids Viewpoint, where you’ll witness the powerful swirling currents of the Niagara River.
You’ll also stop at Table Rock, standing right at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls for a close-up view of the cascading water. At the conclusion of the tour, you’ll be returned to your original pickup location on either side of the border.
