About this tour
A week beyond the postcard view — Niagara Falls by boat and by tunnel.
We invite you, your family, friends, neighbors, and classmates to discover Niagara beyond the falls — a full week based in one hotel on the Canadian side, where the world-famous cataract is only the beginning. Beyond the mist, this corner of Ontario holds a boat ride to the base of the Falls, a hydroelectric tunnel bored through bedrock, a War of 1812 fort, the historic wine village of Niagara-on-the-Lake, and gardens alive with butterflies.
The land package includes escorted coach touring, six nights' hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, a welcome reception and dinner, a farewell reception and dinner, a Niagara City Cruise, the Journey Behind the Falls, the Niagara Parks Power Station & Tunnel, Niagara Parks Bird Kingdom, Fort George, an Inniskillin winery tasting, and the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens & Butterfly Conservatory — with a completely free midweek day to explore at your own pace.
