Niagara Falls Canada from above, behind, and at water level. Skip-the-line tickets, Skylon Tower views, and a misty boat ride.

“There was no thinking involved and no need to figure out how to get to each location especially since the weather wasn’t the best. Everything was planned and we felt we had a great experience as our guide Heidi was very knowledgeable. She gave us the best place to stand on the boat and it was amazing. Plus she gave us the name of a restaurant to try and it did not disappoint!”

7.Niagara Falls from Toronto: Skip-the-Line Boat & Skylon Tower

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,406 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $51

Niagara Falls from Toronto with round-trip transport, skip-the-line Hornblower cruise, Journey Behind the Falls, and optional Skylon Tower views.

“Came to Toronto for the first time and was very excited about the Niagara tour. The options Viator had available were great and it was helpful to read the reviews from others to decide which one we wanted to do. We were a group of 4 and decided on the standard bus tour that included the horn blower boat. We stayed in Toronto and traveled via public transportation to the pick up spot, which was relatively easy. Our tour guide, along with another who drove a different bus were both very friendly and helpful. We got to do the syrup tasting, grab a quick bite and get nice photos before…”

We watched 3 humpback whales feeding together which was an incredible sight. A shame that we then did not have enough time to see any belugas in the fjord.”

We spent too much time there and didn’t have time to explore the area Nikki was great”
