Niagara Falls Tours & Attractions

Already in Niagara Falls? On-site guided tours are a time saver: a guide meets you near the falls, tickets are already in hand, and you move from one attraction to the next without queuing at the box office. The most popular itineraries string together the boat cruise to the foot of the Horseshoe Falls, Journey Behind the Falls and the Skylon Tower observation deck, 236 metres above the gorge.

After dark the falls are lit up, and night tours are timed around the fireworks in season. For thrills there's the helicopter, the zipline facing the falls and the jet boat through the Niagara River rapids. And to slow things down, the wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake are about twenty minutes away: icewine tastings, food tours, wine and charcuterie pairings.

Tours that include the cruise or Journey Behind the Falls are listed first. Prices from $11.57.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Niagara Falls tour cost?

Prices start around $11.57 and depend on what is included: transport only, boat cruise, Journey Behind the Falls, Skylon Tower, a meal or a tasting. Private tours cost considerably more than group tours.

Does the boat cruise to the falls run all year?

No. The boats sail in the warmer months, generally spring through fall, depending on ice on the river. In winter, tours swap the cruise for other stops such as Journey Behind the Falls, which is open year-round.

How long should I plan for?

A tour from Toronto takes the full day, often 9 to 10 hours door to door. On site, a guided tour runs two to five hours depending on how many attractions it covers.

Where do the tours leave from (Niagara Falls)?

Each tour has its own meeting point, shown on its listing and confirmed when you book. Many also offer hotel pickup.

Do I need a passport?

Not for the Canadian side. Only tours that cross to the American side — they say so in their title — require a valid passport and, depending on your nationality, a visa.
