Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto with Boat Cruise & More
See more
Experience the beauty and excitement of Niagara Falls on this comprehensive day tour. Starting with a convenient pick-up from Toronto, you'll travel comfortably in an air-conditioned bus, avoiding the morning rush and settling in for a stress-free journey.
Once at Niagara, you'll have plenty of time to explore. Choose to take a thrilling boat cruise past the falls or go behind the cascading waters for a close-up view—both options include skip-the-line tickets and a souvenir poncho. During winter months, the boat is replaced with Niagara Takes Flight, an immersive flying theatre experience that simulates flying over the Niagara River with wind and mist effects.
Beyond the falls, enjoy a scenic drive along Niagara Parkway, visit the Whirlpool Rapids observation deck, and see the historic Niagara Power Generating Station. You'll also indulge in a tasting tour of maple syrup, fudge, and chocolates at Maple Leaf Place, and can add a Canadian-themed lunch for a full day of fun, flavor, and unforgettable sights.
