Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake Ultimate Day Tour

This full-day outing pairs Niagara Falls' headline sights with a few more local finds. It opens with priority access to the Niagara City Cruises boat ride, taking you into the mist of the Horseshoe Falls for unforgettable views, with a poncho provided. Next comes free time at Table Rock Centre, the closest land-based viewpoint to the falls, followed by a narrated drive along the Niagara Parkway that includes a photo stop at the Whirlpool Rapids and passes highlights such as the Floral Clock, Queenston Heights and the charming Wayside Chapel. At Maple Leaf Place you can sample maple syrup, fudge and artisan chocolate, before strolling through historic Niagara-on-the-Lake with its boutiques, cafés and easygoing wine-country feel. From November through April, the boat cruise is swapped for Journey Behind the Falls, which delivers dramatic views from the tunnels set inside the cascades.
