Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto and Skip the Line Boat Cruise
Overview
Available languages
9 hours
Mobile ticket
Experience the best Niagara Falls has to offer on this stress-free trip. Join our morning departure from Toronto on a climate-controlled vehicle, complete with reclining seats, storage for bags and a professional guide. Along the way, the guide will provide local facts, point out hidden gems, and equip you with insider tips. Our first stop is the Niagara Falls Cruise.
Arriving early enables us to skip the large crowds and queues, hopping right onto the boat. From the water, you're able to capture the most powerful view of the falls, as water plummets over the edge. Keepsake rain ponchos will be provided on site.
After the cruise, enjoy approximately 2 hours of free time while you explore Clifton Hill, Journey Behind the Falls, Skylon Tower, Skywheel or the zipline (additional cost). Mid afternoon we will travel along the Niagara Parkway and visit the whirlpool rapids followed by a stop at Niagara on the Lake and Maple Leaf Place for a Maple Syrup tasting experience.

5.00Absolutely amazing, our driver was so happy and excited for us to see as much as possible on this trip, stopped at a couple of places we didnt expect to stop at and he couldn't have been any nicer or helpful on this trip. Niagara Falls was magical even on Halloween... Highly recommend this trip/tour to anyone looking to visit Niagara Falls for the day!
Great value for money. Our guide Alex was formidable in all the explanations.

5.00From the moment Alex met us this morning until we arrived home our tour was excellent. Lisa (our bus driver) and Alex our tour guide were totally professional, organised, informative and very accommodating. Alex was fun and kept things light and informative. We definitely learned a lot of interesting information about all the areas we visited. We have done many Viator tours over the last 14 years and we would definitely rate this one as one of the best. Thank you Alex & Lisa 🩷
Highly recommend
