Niagara Falls Getaway

Day 1 : To Michigan

We get acquainted with our fellow travelers today as we make our way through the Wisconsin and Michigan countrysides. Tonight we stay in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Day 2 : Niagara Falls

We 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 : Tour Niagara Falls

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 40-foot diameter floral face of the clock is changed twice a year to feature seasonal blooms. Visit the Welland Canal, a manmade detour for ships to bypass Niagara Falls. We then depart for Niagara Parks' Journey Behind the Falls, where elevators enable us to descend to the base of Horseshoe Falls. Here, we can walk through tunnels behind and under the thundering cascades for a unique viewing experience. This afternoon we depart for the White Water Walk, a serene experience along the boardwalk at the edge of the Niagara River rapids. The evening is free for you to relax or explore the Niagara Falls area on your own.

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, we journey past the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and into the very heart of the famous Horseshoe Falls. We go as close as possible to the breathtaking flow of water for the thrill of a lifetime. Later, we experience the IMAX® Theatre presentation Niagara: Miracles, Myths and Magic presented on Canada’s largest movie screen six stories high! Witness famous moments in the history of Niagara Falls and learn about the daredevils who challenged the falls. Our 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. We return to our lodging with time to relax and freshen up before a special night out! 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, witness the spectacular nightly illumination of the falls.

We depart the Niagara Falls area and return to the United States at Buffalo, New York. Our drive continues into Pennsylvania and Ohio. Late afternoon we arrive in the South Bend, IN area for our last night's lodging. This evening we gather for a special Farewell Dinner at Tippecanoe Place Restaurant, the lavish mansion of the late Clem Studebaker.
