Niagara Falls Day Tour: Boat Cruise, Illumination Tower & Dinner
Overview
Get the best of both worlds – a day and night tour of Niagara Falls. By day you’ll enjoy a scenic driving tour of the area, get behind the Falls at Journey Behind the Falls and catch a birds-eye view in the Skylon Tower. As the day turns to evening you’ll get as close as possible to the Falls on the Voyage To The Falls Boat Tour (May to Dec), followed by dinner with a view where you will dine at a delicious local restaurant with your tour group, and a visit to Illumination Tower to change the lights on the Falls.
Your guide will also take you on a scenic, narrated drive of Niagara Falls, passing multiple points of interest including: the Dufferin Islands, Old Scow, International Control Dam, Whirlpool Rapids and Floral Clock.
For the 2026 season, the Voyage To The Falls Boat ride is available May through December. Please call ahead to check availability.

If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy.
