Overview

Our Niagara's Best Tour is the perfect choice if you only have a few hours to spare and want to experience some of the best attractions in Niagara Falls Canada. All admission tickets and Niagara Falls hotel pickup included — nothing extra to book or buy.

Your first adventure takes you on a Niagara City Cruise where you will journey to the base of the Horseshoe Falls to see, hear and feel the thunder and mist of Niagara Falls.

We then travel to Journey Behind the Falls. For a once in a lifetime view, you'll first need to descend 125 feet to explore the 130-year-old tunnels behind the Falls. You will feel the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls long before you see them.

Your last stop is at the Whirlpool Rapids Observation Deck. Experience a first-hand lesson in the raw power and peril of the Niagara River's Class 6 white-water rapids that puts you at the river's edge. For those looking for an up-close and personal view of nature's power, you will not want to miss this.
