    Niagara City Cruises

    Optional add-on attraction: The Niagara City Boat Cruise is one of the most exciting and immersive ways to experience the majestic Niagara Falls. As you board the boat, you’ll be taken on an unforgettable journey to the base of the falls, offering an unparalleled, up-close view of one of the world’s most famous natural wonders. The cruise takes you right up to the thunderous Horseshoe Falls, where you can feel the mist on your face and hear the roar of the water as it cascades down into the river below. As the boat navigates through the mist, you’ll also see the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, which offer their own stunning views from the water. Please note that the boat is operating only during the summer/fall months (usually from May to November). If the boat is not operating, it will be substituted with Journey Behind the Falls experience.
