I’ll drive you to the best spots and attractions you’d like to see, so you can enjoy the stunning views from the Canadian side of the Falls. Popular stops include Journey Behind the Falls, Niagara’s Takes Flight 4D theatre ride, the Table Rock Welcome Center with shops and restaurants, the Niagara Parks Power Station and its tunnel to the Falls, and the historic Iron Scow shipwreck. You can also enjoy nature at Dufferin Islands Park, where beavers and flocks of geese live. Families can explore Clifton Hill’s fun attractions, while adults may prefer the casinos.

The boats run seasonally, usually from April to November, and offer a unique way to experience the power and beauty of Niagara Falls from the water.

    Skylon Tower

On clear days, visibility can reach up to 80 miles (125 km) across both Canada and the U.S. From above, you can clearly see the three waterfalls and the layout of the entire area, which makes it easier to explore on foot once you come down. You can also dine at the tower’s revolving restaurant and enjoy unlimited time on the observation deck. At the base of the tower, there’s a Starbucks where you can grab a coffee or refreshment.

    Journey Behind the Falls

    Journey Behind the Falls offers an unmatched view of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. From the Table Rock Welcome Center, you descend 125 feet by elevator into tunnels that lead to two outdoor observation decks and viewing portals directly behind the waterfall. Feel the thunderous roar and the power of over 2,800 cubic meters of water crashing down every second. Expect plenty of mist—rain ponchos are provided. The portals give you a unique perspective of the water rushing past the cave entrances. This self-guided experience takes about 30–45 minutes and is available year-round.

    Comfort Maple Conservation Area

    If you still have time and energy at the end of the day—or you can visit earlier—add a sweet Canadian touch to your Niagara Falls tour with a stop at Canada’s oldest known maple tree, an awe-inspiring giant estimated to be around 500 years old. Set in postcard-perfect countryside, this peaceful spot offers a refreshing contrast to the busy streets of Toronto. Nearby, you can also visit a working maple syrup farm (when open), where you’ll learn how pure maple syrup is made using traditional and modern methods. Enjoy samples of freshly made maple products and stop by the on-site store to pick up sweet treats and souvenirs to take home.
