Description
Experience Niagara Falls in a way few visitors ever do as you see the iconic cascade from high and low. Start with sweeping panoramas from the Skylon Tower before stepping into the new Daredevils Exhibit to learn the real stories behind Niagara’s most daring stunts. A relaxed walk with a local guide along the boardwalk reveals iconic photo ops. Finally, with pre-reserved entry to Journey Behind the Falls, the experience ends behind the falls themselves just feet from the thunderous water. Thoughtfully paced and packed with insider knowledge, this tour is ideal for travelers wanting to make the most of limited time while discovering new perspectives of a legendary natural wonder.
Begin high above the action with a ride to the top of Skylon Tower, where viewing platforms reveal sweeping vistas of the Canadian and American Falls. From 775 feet up, take in the Niagara River, the full curve of Horseshoe Falls, and distant Toronto skyline. It’s the perfect introduction that orients you to the enormity of the falls.
Back on the main level, continue into the new Daredevils Exhibit—Niagara’s latest attraction showcasing real barrels and true accounts of those who attempted the plunge. Learn who survived, who didn’t, and why these stunts became a defining part of local lore. Your guide brings these larger-than-life characters into focus as you explore the displays.
Then set off on a scenic, easy-paced walk (approximately 1 kilometer or 0.6 miles) along the boardwalk toward Journey Behind the Falls. Pause at prime photo spots while hearing stories about Niagara’s place in pop culture and history.
Your tour concludes at Journey Behind the Falls, where your guide provides your pre-reserved timed-entry ticket. You’ll be able to general public skip the line for a speedy and seamless entrance. Descend into tunnels and step onto the lower viewing platform just feet from the roaring cascade. Explore at your own pace as you feel the mist, hear the thunder, and experience the falls from an unforgettable angle.
