Experience the ultimate Niagara adventure with Hownblower cruise for unobstructed falls views, access to the Journey Behind the Falls, and an expert-guided walking tour with a local English-speaking guide

    • Descend 19 stories to head towards the Niagara Gorge before taking the scening Hornblower Cruise to feel the mist up close.

    • Walk through the dimly-lit tunnels of ‘Journey Behind the Falls’ with pre-reserved access for a close-up view of the Falls from rock wall openings.

    Mary was our tour guide in Niagara Falls- she was so knowledgeable and prepared. We also missed our meeting time and she was so gracious to let us meet up with her for the rest of the tour- she did her job with such kindness. During our mess-up of not going to the correct meeting place, I called the support number and Jill was fantastic. She helped us to know what to do next, again with such a pleasant tone.

    Ashton was a terrific representative for your company. We loved the tunnel the most, and most of the boat. The captain thought drowning us in "mist?" was going to be refreshing. Um. Tooooo coooold! We will never forget our day and the photos are a treasure.

    Cruise is amazing! The tour guide took us to visit the waterfall from all angles. The explanation was very clear, which saved us time and increased the enjoyment of the itinerary.
