Scenic Tour

Niagara City Cruises

The most extensive tour in the portfolio for the season, the Niagara Falls Scenic Tour is a full day, 6-hour excursion.  Guests will explore breathtaking Niagara Falls attractions to get up close to the spectacular Falls and experience the gorgeous natural features of the region.  The tour includes Niagara City Cruises, the legendary Niagara Falls boat tour that travels to the base of the American Falls, and to the basin of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls to see, hear and feel the power of the Falls. You will also visit Journey Behind the Falls to explore the bedrock tunnel running directly behind the Canadian Horseshoe Falls to experience the mighty river as it drops over the brink of the Falls and descends more than 13 stories to the river below.  This experience will stop at Whirlpool Rapids Observation Deck for scenic photo opportunities before heading to a wine tasting at Inniskillin; Canada’s original estate winery. Guests will be able to sample a red and white wine and Niagara’s legendary Icewine.  Even at 6-hours, the Scenic tour is just a sample of Niagara Falls attractions. Guests will receive passes for additional activities to enjoy beyond the scheduled tour; White Water Walk, Niagara’s Fury, Whirlpool Aero Car, and WEGO shuttle passes for easy access to the additional sights. Perfect for families, couples, groups, solo travelers, and everyone in between – this tour’s value and quality cannot be beaten.

Niagara Best Tour

Journey Behind the Falls

For those with a limited amount of time to explore Niagara Falls, Niagara’s Best Tour is a compact 3-hours of thrills!  This adventure begins a ride aboard Niagara City Cruises boat tour to experience the roar of the Falls, see the power of the torrent and feel the mist.   The tour disembarks and travels to Journey Behind the Falls for a different perspective of the famous Falls, and the curtain of water as the Canadian Horseshoe Falls plunges from brink high above.  Niagara’s Best Tour wraps up with a stop at the Whirlpool Rapids Observation Deck, to admire the spectacular view and capture breathtaking photo opportunities. Guests will take in the rushing waters that demonstrate the awe-inspiring power of the Niagara Falls waterfalls.  If you only have a few hours to spend – this is the perfect outing for you!

Led by an expert guide, each of the Niagara Falls bus tours include transportation aboard a motorcoach bus so you can sit back and soak in the experience.

“Alessia Cara Live From Niagara Falls” Wins Notable Award

Niagara Falls Tourism has won gold at the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards for a one of kind collaboration with Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara!Alessia Cara Live From Niagara Falls

Winners were announced at the Storytellers Gala in New York and ‘Alessia Cara – Live from Niagara Falls’ proudly took home gold for the Branded Documentary category.  The New York Festivals TV & Film Awards honours content of all lengths and forms from over 50 countries and embraces all aspects of the Television and Film industries.

The hour-long TV special and media campaign debuted last summer with the Ontario-born artist and showcased new music, intimate rearrangements of her chart-topping songs, and vulnerable interviews filmed in breathtaking locations in Niagara Falls. One of the most intimate performances was created on a custom-built set at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel, and was designed to capture the intimacy of the acoustic version of her single “Sweet Dream” which was about to be released. Additional performances included Oakes Garden, and aboard Niagara City Cruises.

The partnership between Alessia, Niagara Falls Tourism and media partner Zerotrillion was launched while travel restrictions were in place, and the combination of the scenery of the Canadian side of Niagara Falls and music sparked conversations about traveling to Niagara Falls.  The result of the creative partnership aired in August across Canada, and was released internationally on her YouTube channel, and U.S. TV Outlets such as MTV and the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
