Full description
Get ready for an exciting and exclusive Niagara Falls experience, showcasing its impressive beauty from the water, from breathtaking viewpoints, and even from behind its crashing falls.
On this Niagara Falls morning tour, your group will have special access to be the first people allowed onto the elevator as soon as it opens for the day. This journey brings you 19 stories down into the gorge, complete with panoramic views, meaning you’ll be the first ones down to the docks and personally escorted onto the Niagara City Cruises boat. It’s the perfect time to pick your favorite viewing spot before the rest of the crowds arrive. The 20-minute cruise into the falls includes a complimentary poncho because the blinding mist from the falls drenches anyone adventurous enough to venture near.
Following the Niagara City Cruise, you’ll be immersed in the culture and history of Niagara Falls during a guided walking tour along the boardwalk —covering about 2 kilometers at a steady pace. (We recommend comfortable walking shoes!) Enjoy a different vantage point of the Falls from land as your guide points out landmarks and reveals fascinating stories about Niagara's history, natural beauty, and iconic moments.
Your Niagara Falls walking tour will take you directly to Table Rock Visitor Center where you’ll get pre-arranged access to the Journey Behind the Falls experience. Climb down the stairs into the rocky caves behind the Falls themselves, where you'll hear the crashing water reverberate through the tunnels and peer through an opening with a unique view of the waterfall. The path leads to a ledge on the side of the falls where you can feel its true power as the water comes cascading down close by.
For those who crave a complete Niagara Falls experience, this morning tour provides a perfect blend of exclusive access, excitement, and history, with exceptional storytelling from an expert guide.

Reviews
If you’re reading this, book it now! You’ll be one of the first on the boat and get the best spot before anyone else. Daniela (aka “Daniel”) treated us exceptionally well from start to finish. Her knowledge of the falls and the stories behind them was the perfect balance of informative and entertaining. She keeps you laughing throughout the tour and enjoys the experience right alongside you as if it were her first time seeing it. 10/10 — I would recommend this tour to anyone. As an added bonus, our group had only four people, which made the experience absolutely incredible and much more personal. Thanks again, Daniel! 😉
