Niagara Falls Road Trip

Take in the city’s best sights with a private tour along Niagara Parkway, including Floral Clock, the largest of its kind and an impressive example of horticulture creativity with skillful design. Among Ontario’s oldest roads, the parkway played an essential role in the War of 1812, imbuing it with intriguing military history. We also witness the man-made Welland Canal and learn the integral role it plays in transporting goods.

Elevators descend 125 feet through bedrock to tunnels, where we gain access to two outdoor observation decks. Explore the 130-year-old tunnels to find two viewing portals cut straight through the rock, offering a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashing down in front of you. Receive a complimentary souvenir rain poncho as protection from the mist of the falls, then see, hear, and feel the power of the thunderous Horseshoe Falls up close.

Get a front-row seat to the majesty of this iconic natural wonder! Glide through the Niagara Gorge past the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, marveling at their beauty as we make our way to the mighty Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Revel in the opportunity to cruise right up to the base, where we feel the spray of the water, witness the cascading waters creating turbulent waves, and watch the mist rising into the air. While on board, wear your complimentary poncho to keep dry and listen to audio commentary about the falls’ incredible history.

Discover the untamed beauty of the Niagara River as we get close to the raging white-water rapids that have carved through the Niagara Gorge for centuries. Embark on a leisurely stroll down the winding boardwalk along the river’s edge to witness the force of the rapids, a riveting and educational sight. Gain a deeper understanding of the area’s geological history as we see firsthand how the deep and narrow Great Gorge was created.

Step aboard a glass-enclosed elevator to ascend 775 feet above the Niagara Gorge to the top of Skylon Tower. Enjoy birds-eye views of the falls, the Great Gorge, the Niagara wine district, and the city skylines of Toronto and Buffalo, New York. The restaurant silently rotates 360 degrees every hour, providing an everchanging vantage point as you savor award-winning cuisine, including classic New England and Canadian dishes.
