Duration: 6 hours
Cancellation: 24 hours
Highlights
  • Niagara Falls - Typically, visitors have to choose between experiencing the Canadian or US side of Niagara Falls, but never both. There is just so much to do that it seems impossible to do both, but that has all changed with the USA/Canada Niagara Falls Combo Tour. Now, it is easier than ever before to see and experience both sides of this amazing and majestic natural wonder.

The full-day tour kicks off with a pick up from your hotel on the Canadian or American side of the Falls.

  • Goat Island - Experiencing Goat Island in Niagara Falls, NY, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and close-up views of the iconic waterfalls. On Luna Island, you can feel the mist from both the American and Bridal Veil Falls, while Terrapin Point provides a breathtaking view of the powerful Horseshoe Falls, making it a memorable spot for nature lovers.
  • Luna Island - Viewing the falls from Luna Island provides a unique and intimate experience, as you stand between the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The proximity to the edge lets you feel the mist and hear the thundering rush of water, offering a close-up and dramatic perspective of these natural wonders.
  • American Falls - The American Falls in Niagara Falls is a majestic sight, characterized by its broad, cascading waters that plunge over a rocky ledge. Although smaller than the Horseshoe Falls, its dramatic drop and the scattered boulders at its base create a powerful, picturesque scene that highlights the raw beauty of nature.
  • Bridal Veil Falls - The Bridal Veil Falls in Niagara is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls, yet it offers a delicate and enchanting beauty. Located next to the American Falls, this slender cascade is named for its resemblance to a bride’s veil. Visitors can experience the falls up close on Luna Island or from the Cave of the Winds, where the mist and gentle flow create a serene and intimate atmosphere amidst the powerful Niagara River.
  • Terrapin Point - Viewing Niagara Falls from Terrapin Point offers a spectacular close-up perspective of the Horseshoe Falls, where you can witness the immense power of the water as it cascades over the edge. The vantage point allows you to feel the mist and hear the roar of the falls, creating an awe-inspiring and immersive experience.
  • Cave of the Winds - The Cave of the Winds in Niagara Falls is an exhilarating attraction that takes you up close to the powerful Bridal Veil Falls. As you descend into the Niagara Gorge and walk along wooden platforms, you can feel the force of the rushing water and the cool mist on your skin. The highlight is the “Hurricane Deck,” where you’re just feet away from the torrents of water, offering an unforgettable and immersive experience of the falls’ raw power.
  • Rainbow Bridge - Crossing the border at the Rainbow Bridge between the United States and Canada offers a seamless and scenic transition between the two countries. This pedestrian and vehicular bridge provides stunning views of Niagara Falls as you travel between Niagara Falls, New York, and Niagara Falls, Ontario. The border crossing is typically straightforward, but it’s important to have the necessary identification, such as a passport or enhanced driver’s license, ready for inspection by customs officials on both sides.
  • Skylon Tower - Experiencing the Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls offers a stunning panoramic view of both the American and Canadian falls from 775 feet above the ground. Dining at the buffet adds to the experience, as you can enjoy a delicious meal while soaking in the breathtaking scenery from the revolving dining room. It’s a perfect way to combine great food with an unforgettable view.
  • Niagara Falls Canada - A guided tour along the Niagara Parkway in Niagara Falls, Canada, is a scenic journey through one of the most picturesque routes in the region. The tour offers insightful commentary on the area’s history, culture, and natural beauty, making it an enriching way to experience the Niagara region.
  • Niagara Whirlpool - The Niagara Whirlpool is a stunning natural phenomenon located downstream from Niagara Falls, where the powerful Niagara River makes a sharp turn, creating a swirling vortex. Formed over 4,000 years ago, the whirlpool’s churning waters and rugged surrounding cliffs offer a dramatic and captivating sight. Visitors can view the whirlpool from scenic overlooks or take the Whirlpool Aero Car, which glides above the turbulent waters, providing a unique aerial perspective of this geological marvel.
  • Niagara River Parkway - Dufferin Islands, located just upstream from the Horseshoe Falls, is a serene nature area with a series of small islands connected by footbridges and walking trails. This peaceful retreat offers a stark contrast to the nearby falls, with tranquil waters, lush greenery, and an abundance of wildlife. The Upper Niagara Falls Rapids, located just before the falls, showcase the river’s immense power as it surges towards the edge, creating a dramatic and thrilling sight that highlights the raw force of nature in this iconic location.
  • Niagara City Cruises - The Niagara City Cruise offers an unforgettable experience of Niagara Falls, taking you up close to the base of the iconic waterfalls. As the boat navigates the powerful currents, you’ll feel the mist on your face and hear the thunderous roar of the water. The cruise provides breathtaking views of the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls, offering a unique and immersive perspective of one of the world’s most famous natural wonders.

Great tour! - Our guide was great! He went out of his way to make sure our experience was great. He helped us switch our boat ride tickets because he found out that we had done the Maid of the Mist before. So we got to do the tunnels instead and got to see things from another perspective. We also liked being able to tour the American and Canadian sides. It was nice to get both perspectives. The Cave of the Winds was the best part—just make sure to wear sandals or water shoes and be prepared to get soaked! There are ponchos but we were soaked from mid-thigh down. We absolutely loved it!

US and Canadian Falls Tour - Loved seeing both sides of Niagara Falls. Tour guides were informative and on time at all stops, with the exception of the pickup( 15 min late). The lunch buffet at the tower was great and a good time was had by all! Would definitely recommend this tour, you get a lot of bang for the buck! Only complaint was one of the trainees with the tour did not smell very clean and in a small van, that’s not enjoyable. But really, we did have a great time.

Fabulous tour and guide! - This was the most amazing tour! We wanted to get the most out of our day, and this tour was it. To begin with, we had the very best tour guide possible, Jimmy, who made our day extra special. He has extensive knowledge of the Falls, all the attractions included in the tour, and all the surrounding areas. His tips and suggestions made our experience so special. We enjoyed every attraction, our transportation was comfortable, and Jimmy became like a friend. Highly recommend this tour, and if you can request a guide, ask for Jimmy!
