Embark on an unforgettable day trip from Toronto, where you’ll experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Niagara Falls. This tour includes the iconic Hornblower Cruise, the captivating Journey Behind the Falls, and breathtaking views from the Skylon Tower, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in this natural wonder.

Begin your day with a morning departure from Toronto, traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach. As you journey to the falls, admire the scenic views and enjoy engaging historical commentary from our knowledgeable guide.

Travel along the picturesque Niagara Parkway toward Niagara-on-the-Lake. Your first stop is the Floral Clock, a stunning display measuring 40 feet in diameter, filled with up to 16,000 carpet plants and colorful annuals. Take a moment to capture the beauty of this landmark before continuing your adventure.

Next, visit the Niagara Whirlpool, where you can marvel at one of nature’s most mesmerizing phenomena. This whirlpool is formed at the end of the rapids, where the river abruptly turns counterclockwise, creating swirling waters that captivate all who see them.

After the whirlpool, head to Maple Leaf Place to taste delicious, locally made maple syrup and fudge. For those interested, you can also opt for an ice wine tasting ($14 per person). If you prefer more time at the falls, you have the option to skip this stop.

Now, it’s time for the highlights of your tour. Prepare to witness the awe-inspiring power and beauty of the falls from various vantage points. Start by boarding the iconic Hornblower Cruise for a thrilling close-up view of the falls, feeling the thunderous power and mist.

Please note: During the winter months (December 1 - April 30), the Hornblower Cruise is closed and is replaced by either the Butterfly Conservatory, or Niagara Parks Power Station.

Next, descend 125 feet through bedrock to the Journey Behind the Falls. This incredible experience allows you to stand directly underneath the Horseshoe Falls, providing an unforgettable perspective of the cascading water above.

Then, get ready to get your breath taken away as you head up the Skylon Tower for incredible panoramic aerial views of the Falls. 

After these thrilling experiences, enjoy ample free time to explore Niagara Falls at your leisure. You can grab lunch, stroll down Clifton Hill, or simply relax and soak in the spectacular views.

As your adventure comes to a close, depart from Niagara Falls and begin your journey back to Toronto, reflecting on a day filled with incredible sights and experiences.
