Niagara Falls Getaway

Day 1 : To Michigan

We get acquainted with our fellow travelers today as we make our way through the Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana countrysides.

Tonight we stay in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Day 2 : Niagara Falls

Travel through Ontario’s fruit growing region and arrive in the resort city of Niagara Falls, Ontario for three pleasant nights at the deluxe DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa.

Day 3 : Niagara City Tour

An expert local guide joins us for a private tour of the Niagara Falls area. We drive along the colorfully planted Niagara Parkway and visit the unique Floral Clock inspired by the floral clock in Edinburgh, Scotland. The clock’s 40-foot diameter floral face is changed twice a year to feature seasonal blooms. Visit the Welland Canal, a man-made detour for ships to bypass Niagara Falls.

We then depart for Table Rock: Journey Behind the Falls, where elevators enable us to descend to the base of Horseshoe Falls. Here you can walk through tunnels behind and under the thundering cascades for a unique viewing experience.

Next, head downstream of the falls to experience the White Water Walk where viewing platforms enrich a leisurely stroll along the Niagara River as it courses through marvelous whitewater rapids.

Return to our lodging with time to relax and freshen up before an evening of independent exploration.

Day 4 : Cruise to the Falls & Oh Canada, Eh?! Dinner Show

This morning we take a magnificent boat tour combining the water, power, and mist of the spectacular Niagara Falls. Within the Niagara Great Gorge, journey past the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and into the very heart of the famous Horseshoe Falls. The boat will get as close as possible to the breathtaking flow of water for the thrill of a lifetime!

Later, experience the IMAX® Theatre presentation Niagara: Miracles, Myths and Magic presented on Canada’s largest movie screen soaring six stories high! Witness famous moments in the history of Niagara Falls and learn about the daredevils who challenged the falls.

Lunch today is an included treat in the revolving restaurant atop Skylon Tower, 775 feet above Niagara Falls! Enjoy marvelous views of the falls and surrounding area while dining on delicious food.

The afternoon allows a few hours at leisure. This is a great time to explore nearby attractions and entertainment such as ziplining or a helicopter excursion.

Tonight, enjoy Oh, Canada, Eh?!, an entertaining musical revue where our costumed meal servers are also the performers! Our delicious dinner features regional specialties from across Canada.

After dinner, join your Tour Director to see the spectacular nightly illumination of the falls.

Day 5 : Farewell Dinner

Depart the Niagara Falls area and return to the United States at Buffalo, New York.

Late afternoon we arrive in the South Bend, Indiana area for a Holiday Vacations Farewell Dinner at Tippecanoe Place Restaurant, the lavish palatial mansion of the late Clem Studebaker. Our waitstaff will share tales of the mansion’s history with time to explore its rooms after our meal.

Day 6 : Fond Memories

Continuing homeward, we say our goodbyes to those who have shared our travel adventures.
