Skip-the-Line Access to Niagara Falls Boat Tours

A major highlight is the priority access to the Niagara City Cruises—formerly the Hornblower. During May to October, this skip-the-line boat ride takes you close to the falls, offering an exhilarating experience amidst the mist and roar. The boat departs seasonally, so in winter months, the tour replaces it with the Journey Behind the Falls, which offers a different perspective of the waterfalls from behind the curtain of water.

This arrangement ensures you get to experience Niagara’s power up close, without long waits or crowds. The boat ride or behind-the-falls experience is a core part of what makes this tour stand out.

Iconic Stops: Table Rock and Whirlpool Rapids

The Table Rock area is one of the most photographed spots in Niagara. Here, visitors enjoy iconic views of the falls, the misty roar, and around one hour of free time to take photos or grab a bite at nearby cafes. The scenic drive along Niagara Parkway also includes a stop at Whirlpool Rapids, where the swirling currents of this natural formation create a dramatic sight.

These stops are carefully selected to give a comprehensive view of Niagara’s natural beauty and allow enough time to absorb the scenery or capture memorable photos.
