The 20-minute Voyage to the Falls boat tour that gets you as close as possible to the magnificent Niagara Falls. Journey past the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and into the heart of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls aboard Niagara City Cruises. This legendary boat tour takes place aboard a state-of-the-art catamaran. Hornblower Niagara City Cruises is the official supplier to Niagara Parks, providing Canada’s only Niagara Falls boat tour experience.

Opening date is tentatively May 1st 2025. Opening is dependent on when the ice on Lake Erie has melted. Complete 2025 schedule will be posted when it becomes available.

Reservations are not necessary and tickets can be purchased at the attraction ticket window. During a typical season the boat rides below Niagara Falls open in late April or early May and operate until late October.

All guests are issued a disposable plastic poncho to wear during the tour which will keep you reasonably dry. When the boat gets close to the Canadian Falls is where you will encounter the majority of mist. If you wish to stay dry simply move to another location on the boat where there is less mist. The tour lasts 15-20 minutes. For clothing, summer is for shorts and t-shirts. A pair of beach shoes or sneakers work fine but don’t wear anything you wouldn’t want to get damp. For spring and fall weather you need to dress appropriately for the local weather and just expect to get slightly damp. Usually you will have the ability to get great photos right up until you get close to the base of the Canadian Falls. Remember that even a slight mist on your camera lens will ruin any photo!

The entrance for the boat ride is in Queen Victoria Park less than a minute walk from the base of Clifton Hill. Parking is available at one of three very large parking lots near Queen Victoria Park.

Too crowded and unhelpful staff. Very disappointing and overpriced for what you get, being herded like cattle, people being yelled at and ordered about with little courtesy. They do have a monopoly so customers really have no other option, and they know it.
The company should train their staff to treat customers with courtesy and civility. Staff are so rude and couldn't care less. We travelled all the way from Sydney Australia for this bucket list and it's a real shame to have paid for an experience like this. They leave a very negative impression of Canada as a result.

予約は実際は不要です。思っているよりも濡れますが最高の体験ができます。当日券はアメックスのカードで買えないのが注意必要です。
