Your first stop is Skylon Tower, you’ll head up 520 ft. in a glass elevator to the observation deck where you will be treated to an incredible, birds-eye view of all three Niagara Falls, the Niagara River & surrounding area.

At your next stop you will descend 125 ft to explore cave-like tunnels at Journey Behind the Falls. This experience is a treat for the senses as you’ll be able to not only hear the falls, but feel them as well.

Next jump aboard the 20-minute Niagara City Cruises Boat Tour (seasonal, operating May-Oct., replaced with Niagara Takes Flight during the winter months). You will sail around the Niagara gorge, get as close as possible to the Falls and feel the refreshing mist.

During the final portion of your tour, your guide will take you on a narrated driving tour of the city. Your guide will take you to several points of interest including the Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, the Old Scow, Whirlpool Rapids and the Floral Clock
