Embrace the season on a sparkling Niagara Falls winter excursion.

Depart Toronto in a comfortable coach to Niagara Falls.
First stop is a festive tasting at Maple Leaf Place—maple syrup, fresh fudge, and artisan chocolate set the mood.
At Table Rock, stand steps from Horseshoe Falls, then descend 125 feet for the tunnels of Journey Behind the Falls as the roar echoes around you.
Afterward, choose free time by the Falls or upgrade to our Cafe Market Lunch (starter, main, drink) to refuel.
As darkness sets in, your guide leads a grand illumination tour through the Winter Festival of Lights at Dufferin Islands, landmark displays along the Niagara Parkway.
Our last stop will be Clifton Hill for an extended free time, letting you explore the array of light and the neon buzz. Perfect spot for warm-up cocoa and photo moments.
On scheduled nights, cap it all with fireworks over the Falls—an unforgettable winter spectacle.
