Once inside the Skylon Tower you will ascend 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 (Bridal Veil Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and the American Falls), as well as the Niagara River and surrounding area.
You will have descend 125 ft (approx. 40m) to explore cave-like tunnels behind the Falls 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.
Then take a Hornblower cruise for an up-close look at the falls (seasonal: May to October), at which point your tour will come to a close and you and your guide will part ways. On your cruise, you will sail around the Niagara gorge and get as close as possible to the Falls.
In winter and spring months, enjoy the Niagara SkyWheel and Niagara Fury.

5.00Great tour. A lot of walking, but it was well worth it. It is hard to choose a favorite activity. Each was so different, but worth the time. The staff was so pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. I found the tour to well worth the time and the money spent.
