Niagara Falls Illumination and Fireworks
Featuring the very best of both the American and Canadian sides of Niagara Falls, the specular and colorful nighttime illumination, plus elegant dining overlooking the falls.
Niagara Falls is and nearly always has been one of the premier tourist locations in both the US and Canada. Over 12 million visitors make the trip to see this natural wonder every year, many of them making an entire vacation of exploring the area and seeing the spectacular sights. When you come to Niagara Falls, whether it's your first or your fifteenth time, you'll undoubtedly want to take a tour of the falls area. You have many choices when it comes to a tour of Niagara Falls, and the first choice you'll have to make is whether you would like to tour at ground level, or far above. Ground level tours involve a ride on the world-famous maid of the mist boat. You'll receive protective gear when you get there to shield your clothing from the mist and spray that will come at you from all sides while you're riding on the magnificent maid of the mist. Once aboard, you'll tour over the water, going past and making stops at various exciting attractions in and around the water. There are several different types of water tours that you can take, and each of them will offer a different experience. The All Canadian Adventure Illumination Tour includes all of the best sights on the Canadian side of the falls. Depending on the season, the number of passengers, and the time, this tour will take you to attractions such as Goat Island, Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, the International Water Control Gates, Raging Rapids, Spanish Aero Car, Hydro-electric power plants, botanical gardens, and more. This tour also includes the incredible sight of the Canadian falls all lit up in brilliant color at night. The All Canadian Adventure Tour is a similar tour, but does not include the nighttime illumination view of the falls. This tour may also include different attractions depending on the time of year, time of day, and number of passengers present. The All American Adventure tour is yet another water tour utilizing the grand maid of the mist. On this tour, she will take her passengers on a tour of the American side of the park, as well as many of the same attractions as the tours above. The All American Adventure also includes a showing of the 4D movie "Legends of Niagara" at the Thunder Theater. If you prefer to see the falls from the air, the Niagara Falls Air Tour is right up your alley. This is a plane tour of the falls that will take you on an approximately 20 minute tour from high up in the air aboard a Cessna aircraft. You'll get a bird's eye view of the area's amazing scenery while you listen to an informative audio tour which gives you some of the background and history of the falls. Whichever way you decide to experience Niagara Falls — by land, by water, or by air — a tour of the area is something that you should definitely experience at every opportunity! |

"All Canadian Adventure" Tour
I really like that they came to pick us up at the hotel. I wish there was a lunch break in between because it was quite long.

Must Do!
Fantastic! We felt like this was the perfect 1st day excursion. This 5 hour tour allowed us to get to know the area while visiting the falls and surrounding attractions. Our guide was very knowledgable on Niagara and fun to be around. We feel this is an absolute must do! I was really pleased by the Maid of the Mist, but the Cave of the Winds was #1 by far for me!
Thanks for showing us a great time!
-Patrick and Connie Henry, Crawfordsville, Indiana All-American Adventure Tour - Niagara Falls, NY
The directions provided for free parking pre-tour were very good. The dispatcher was extremely accommodating to our needs and our tour-guide Shirley was a true gem, and a lot of fun! Wonderful job.
