What makes Niagara Falls Evening Tour with Boat, Dinner & Illumination Tower a unique experience ?
Pick-up is available from Toronto around 12:30 PM, from Mississauga around 1:30 PM and from Niagara Falls around 2:45 PM. If departing from Toronto, the drive will take approximately 2 hours to arrive in Niagara Falls.
Our first stop will be at the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse! This will also be a rest stop after the drive from Toronto. Explore this garden oasis just a short walk south of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. With three main display houses, a stunning tropical foyer, and a Life on Display miniature village collection, you’ll want to visit again and again. The Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse features several floral shows each year, celebrating major holidays, community events and the beauty of nature. Don’t miss the incredible collections of orchids, succulents, and other tropical plant species that are on display year-round.
To stand at the heart of Niagara, you’ll first need to descend 125 feet and explore 130-year-old tunnels through the bedrock, but you’ll feel the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls long before you see them. The observation deck at the foot of this 13-storey-tall wonder will leave you breathless (and maybe a little bit wet), but don’t forget the viewing portals cut straight through the rock, offering a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s freshwater crashing down in front of you.
Enjoy a 3-course meal at the Table Rock Restaurant, with views overlooking the waterfalls while you dine! Dinner includes:
• Chef’s Soup of the Day and House Salad
• Entree Choice #1: Herb-Crusted Chicken Supreme
• Entree Choice #2: Maple Vidal Roasted Garlic Glaze
• Entree Choice #3: Broiled Fresh Rainbow Trout
• Entree Choice #4: Lemon Pepper-berry Rub and Riesling Dill Sauce
• Entree Choice #5: Wild Mushroom Ravioli
• Entrees served with Seasonal Vegetables and Baby Arugula Pesto Cream Sauce
• Seasonal Dessert
• Fresh Brewed Coffee, Decaffeinated Coffee, Hot Tea, Milk or Soft Drink
Every evening beginning at dusk, Niagara Falls is transformed into an incredible, multi-coloured water and light masterpiece. Special lights are housed in the Illumination Tower, next to Queen Victoria Place; on the roof of Table Rock Centre, at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls; and deep in the Niagara Gorge, across from the American Falls. Together, these lights work to create a breathtaking view of the waterfalls not to be missed. As part of your tour of the Illumination Tower, you will be able to control the lights and have the best views of the waterfalls in the nighttime.
The Winter Festival of Lights is available from November 18th to January 7th. While available, we will drive through to show you the beautiful lights and you will have a chance to walk around and take photos as well. This is one of the most beautiful light shows in the world, with 75 displays made up of 3 million lights.
We usually finish the tour around 7:45 PM, depending on how daily conditions are. Guests from Niagara will be dropped off first, followed by Mississauga around 8:45 and Toronto around 9:30 PM.
