Niagara Falls Canada Tour with Hornblower Cruise and Journey Behind the Falls
This comprehensive Niagara Falls tour gets you closer to the thundering cascades than any ordinary sightseeing trip. Your expert local guide takes you aboard the seasonal Hornblower Cruise to feel the mist at the base of the falls, then leads you through the tunnels of Journey Behind the Falls for a behind-the-curtain perspective. It's the most complete way to experience Canada's side of Niagara Falls in a single tour.
You'll explore the falls from three distinct viewpoints: cruising directly towards the base on the Hornblower boat, walking through historic bedrock tunnels behind the falling water, and strolling scenic pathways with your guide who shares the region's natural history and local legends. The tour includes ponchos to keep you dry during the wettest sections, and you can upgrade to add Skylon Tower's panoramic observation deck.
What is Included
- Entry to Hornblower Cruise (seasonal operation)
- Access to Journey Behind the Falls
- Professional local English-speaking guide
- Guided walking tour and sightseeing
- Poncho for wet zones
- Admission to Skylon Tower (if upgrade selected)
