Day Trips from Niagara Falls to Floral Clock

Get to know the best of Niagara Falls on this tour. Visit some of the area’s top attractions, like the incredible view from the top of the Skylon Tower, then head across the border to get front and center with the water on an exciting Maid of the Mist cruise. When Maid of the Mist is not running, embark on the thrilling Journey Behind the Falls excursion. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Niagara Falls (Ontario and New York) included.

Look forward to experiencing the best of the Canadian side of Niagara Falls—and enjoy thrilling perspectives on the falls, which few others get to see—on this three-in-one, full-day tour. See Niagara Falls from the air aboard a helicopter flight, get close to the spray on a Niagara City Cruises tour, and visit Journey Behind the Falls, all in one day. This hassle-free trip also includes lunch, transit, and additional sightseeing.

Start your day with pickup at Red Coach Inn (USA) and cross into Canada for a relaxed yet unforgettable experience. Travel along the scenic Niagara Parkway with stops at Table Rock for breathtaking Horseshoe Falls views, the swirling Whirlpool Rapids, and the iconic Floral Clock. At Maple Leaf Place, indulge in complimentary maple syrup, fudge, and chocolate tastings—with the option to enjoy a savory Canadian lunch. The highlight of your tour is the Niagara City Cruises Voyage to the Falls boat ride, included for all guests. Sail into the mist for an exhilarating view of the mighty Horseshoe Falls. Guests may also choose to add on Journey Behind the Falls for an unforgettable year-round tunnel-and-observation deck experience. During Winter months (November to April) the boat will automatically be replaced by Journey Behind the Falls. This 6-hour tour blends iconic sights, local flavors, and expert storytelling into one perfectly timed Niagara Falls escape.

Most Niagara Falls tours make you choose between the US and Canadian side of the falls, but on this combination tour, you’ll have the chance to experience both. Witness the thundering majesty of the water tumbling over the rocks from several of the most popular viewing points, get up close to the falls aboard the Maid of the Mist boat ride, explore the Cave of the Winds, and much more.

After a hotel pickup, head to the central part of Niagara Falls with a guide, who will provide a detailed tour of the Canadian side of the falls, offering stories, history and fun facts along the way. Start with an exciting ride up to the observation deck at the top of the Skylon Tower. Enjoy the incredible view of the Niagara River and all three waterfalls — the American, Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls from 520 feet in the air. Next, experience the Journey Behind the Falls excursion, where the sound is like thunder and the view is unparalleled. See the Horseshoe Falls rumble from 13 stories above — dropping over 700,000 gallons of water every second at 40 miles per hour. Then, during summer and fall months, take a Niagara City Cruises boat ride for an up-close look at the falls. In winter and spring months, enjoy the Butterfly Conservatory, Niagara Fury and/or White Water Walk. Note: The boat ride is seasonal and operates from May till November.
