The journey, in full
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 the entrance to Journey Behind the Falls, where your guide will say goodbye and provide your timed-entry ticket, allowing you to skip the general public line for a speedy 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.
