Best of Niagara Falls Canada Premium Tour: Behind Falls and Boat
Overview
Your first stop is Skylon Tower, you’ll head up 520 ft. in a glass elevator to the observation deck where you will be treated to an incredible, birds-eye view of all three Niagara Falls, the Niagara River & surrounding area.
At your next stop you will descend 125 ft to explore cave-like tunnels at Journey Behind the Falls. This experience is a treat for the senses as you’ll be able to not only hear the falls, but feel them as well.
Next jump aboard the 20-minute Niagara City Cruises (Hornblower) Boat Tour (seasonal, operating May-Nov., replaced with Niagara Takes Flight during the winter months). You will sail around the Niagara gorge, get as close as possible to the Falls and feel the refreshing mist.
