Niagara Falls Tour: Boat Cruise, Journey Behind Falls and Skylon

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 the Niagara City Cruises boat cruise for an up-close look at the falls (seasonal: May to December), 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, the cruise is replaced with Niagara Takes Flight.

Q&A

Q: Is the boat cruise available year-round or just in the summer?

A: The boat cruise operates seasonally from May to December. If you're visiting during the winter or early spring months, you'll get to experience the Niagara Takes Flight ride instead, which is also really fun! Just make sure to check the schedule before you go.

Q: What should I wear for the Journey Behind the Falls?

A: Definitely wear something comfortable and waterproof! You'll get a bit wet from the spray of the falls, especially in the tunnels. They give you ponchos, but I'd suggest quick-drying clothes. Sturdy shoes are a must too!

Q: Is this experience suitable for kids?

A: Yes, kids will love it! The boat cruise is super exciting for them, and the Journey Behind the Falls is a unique adventure. Just keep an eye on younger ones near the water. It's suitable for most ages, but check if your kids meet any height requirements for the boat.

Thinking of getting the Niagara Falls Tour for my parents!

I’m looking to buy the Niagara Falls Tour package for my parents’ anniversary. They love adventure but aren’t super outdoorsy. Is the boat cruise really worth it? I read that the views from Skylon are amazing. Any tips?

Just did the Niagara Falls Tour – what an experience!

I took the Niagara Falls Tour last week and it was AMAZING! The Skylon Tower view was breathtaking, and the Journey Behind the Falls was so cool. You can feel the power of the water! I went on the boat cruise too, and honestly, getting that close to the falls was surreal. I’d totally recommend it to anyone.
