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.
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 December.
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.

They were supposed to charge me with Canadian dollars instead of USD, but they charged me with usd! I got invoice or receipt and everything. They did reply me on saying that they are working on it with their finacial department and saying they did not forget it. But it’s been 3 months i have never heard from them or refunded me back. The difference was totally about 200 cad. I have a strong feeling that they just take long time for customers like me to give up. It is a SCAM!!!
I am not sure how I should reply to ‘the owner’ of this city cruise, however you did not read my reviews properly saying that I did email you several times, but you just take too long time not to refund me with stupid excuses!
Why don’t you do something to work on the real problems instead of replying google reviews?!!
The boat runs on scheduled departure times, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. There was a line for the elevator, and then a long walk down to the dock—but honestly, that just built up the anticipation even more.
Once you’re on the boat, it’s a whole different experience. It gets VERY windy and wet as you get closer to the falls, but that’s truly the magic of it. I doubled up on the ponchos they provide, and I’d definitely recommend bringing a shower cap if you’re trying to protect your hair. Also sandals with no socks, you’re going to be drenched from head to toe, Best to go on a warm/hot day .
I went with my family, and we all felt the same way—it made us feel like big kids again! It’s exciting, refreshing, and something you really can’t fully understand until you experience it yourself.
If you’re visiting Niagara Falls, this is a must-do. It’s unforgettable.
