Niagara Falls Tours from Toronto

Quick guide: first time visiting from Toronto? Take the Day Tour (8:00 AM – 5:30 PM) – you'll see the falls in daylight and be back for the evening. Want to see the falls illuminated in colour at night? Take the Day and Evening Tour (1:00 PM – 11:30 PM). Already staying in Niagara Falls? Book the Small-Group Tour with hotel pickup.

Timing and what you see. The Day Tour picks up at 7:30–8:35 AM, gives you 3–4 hours at the falls in daylight, and returns by 5:00–6:00 PM. The Day and Evening Tour picks up around 1:00 PM and stays for sunset and the evening illumination, returning around 11:30 PM – in summer (roughly mid-May to mid-October) that includes the fireworks over the falls, and in winter the Festival of Lights. Both include the same round-trip transport from Toronto and Mississauga and a licensed guide.

Three options: Package 1 (CA$99 adult / CA$89 child) is the tour without attraction tickets – transport, guide, viewpoints, maple syrup and chocolate tasting, and free time at the falls. Package 2 (CA$159 / CA$134) adds the Niagara City Cruises (Hornblower) boat ride. Package 3 (CA$209 / CA$174) – our most popular – adds both the boat and Journey Behind the Falls, with skip-the-line entry to each. Infants 2 and under are free on every package.

Package 1 (CA$109 adult / CA$99 child) is the standard tour with 4–5 hours of free time at the falls through the evening illumination. Package 2 (CA$219 / CA$184) adds the boat cruise and Journey Behind the Falls. Package 3 All-Inclusive (CA$303 / CA$259) adds a dinner overlooking the falls plus an exclusive Illumination Tower visit, where you control the colours of the falls yourself and take home an “I Lit Up Niagara Falls” certificate.

They're opposite views of the same falls: the 25-minute boat ride takes you into the mist at the base (red raincoat provided), while Journey Behind the Falls takes you 125 feet down through tunnels to decks behind the curtain of water. Most guests add both – that's why the combined package is our best seller. Note the boat is seasonal (roughly May through late fall) and is replaced with an alternate attraction like Niagara Takes Flight in winter; Journey Behind the Falls is open year-round.

The Small-Group Tour (CA$249 adult / CA$219 child, max 7 guests) picks you up from any central Niagara Falls hotel in a Mercedes van, at 8:45 AM or 1:30 PM. In about 5 hours it covers the boat cruise, Journey Behind the Falls, and the Whirlpool Aero Car – the only tour we run that includes the Aero Car – plus the Floral Clock and power stations on a scenic parkway drive. You can add a 10-minute helicopter flight (CA$175) on the day if conditions are good.

Choose a private tour when you want your own vehicle and schedule – large groups, corporate outings and conferences, or a custom itinerary that adds stops like wineries or Niagara-on-the-Lake. We work with groups of any size.

No. Every tour stays on the Canadian side of the falls, where the best views are – you'll see all three waterfalls (Horseshoe, American and Bridal Veil) without crossing the border.

Yes. Every tour comes with free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time for a 100% refund, so you can rebook a different tour or package if your plans change.
