Discover the best of Niagara Falls on this guided day trip, where you'll enjoy scenic stops along the Niagara River, taste local maple syrup and chocolates, and see Niagara's three magical waterfalls. Plus, you can add the Hornblower boat ride and the Journey Behind the Falls to complete your experience with Niagara's most famous waterfall attractions!

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your selected pickup point in Toronto, where you'll board a minibus and head to the world-famous Niagara Falls on the border of Canada and the United States.

Throughout the journey, which lasts about 1.5 hours, you'll be entertained with fascinating facts about the incredible natural jewel. Learn how tall the falls are, when they were discovered, and much more!

We'll make 1 or 2 scenic stops along the Niagara River for you to admire the views and try locally produced maple syrup and chocolates.

Then, we'll arrive at our destination: Niagara Falls. With an average fall of 3,000 tons of water per second, this waterfall has become a legend. Here, you'll spend 3 to 4 hours of free time to explore on your own and admire Niagara's three magical waterfalls. 

Finally, we'll begin our journey back to Toronto, where we'll return after between 9 and 10.5 hours in total.

Hornblower Boat Ride

During the booking process, you can select the option that includes the Hornblower boat ride on the falls lagoon. This 20-minute boat ride gets you as close as possible to the magnificent Niagara Falls, where you'll pass the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and dive into the heart of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. It's the perfect chance to enjoy the scenery from a different point of view!

Journey Behind the Falls

If you choose this option, you'll enjoy the Journey Behind the Falls experience for a privileged view of the falls with the water crashing down in front of you. In this attraction, you'll descend 125 ft (38 m) to visit an observation platform and a series of 130-year-old tunnels near the bottom of Horseshoe Falls.
