Situated just steps from the falls’ edge, Table Rock provides an unmatched viewpoint to truly appreciate the falls’ grandeur.
From this spot, enjoy stunning, close-up views of the roaring waters as they tumble over the cliff, creating a mist that rises high into the sky.

The cruise takes you right up to the thunderous Horseshoe Falls, where you can feel the mist on your face and hear the roar of the water as it cascades into the river below. As the boat navigates through the mist, you’ll also see the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, each offering their own stunning views from the water.
- The Welland Canal - As the tour passes the Welland Canal, you’ll witness a crucial piece of Canadian infrastructure that plays a significant role in international trade. The Welland Canal is a man-made waterway connecting Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, bypassing Niagara Falls and allowing large ships to travel between these two great lakes. The canal stretches for 27 kilometers and includes eight locks, enabling vessels to navigate the varying water elevations.
Opened in 1833, the Welland Canal is considered one of the great engineering achievements of its time and remains a vital part of the St. Lawrence Seaway. As the tour passes by, you’ll gain an understanding of the canal’s importance in supporting maritime trade and its role in the development of the Niagara region. You may even see ships passing through the locks, a fascinating sight for those interested in engineering or maritime history.
- Mackenzie Printery & Newspaper Museum - As the tour passes the Mackenzie Printery and Newspaper Museum, you’ll see a significant piece of Canadian history. This museum, located in Queenston, honors the legacy of William Lyon Mackenzie, a key figure in the Rebellions of 1837 and the founder of Canada’s first newspaper, the Colonial Advocate.
The Mackenzie Printery is housed in a historic building that once served as a printing press and office for Mackenzie’s newspaper. It features a remarkable collection of antique printing presses, newspapers, and historical documents, offering a unique glimpse into the early days of journalism and printing in Canada. Although the tour won’t stop, you’ll have the chance to admire this historical site, which plays an important role in telling the story of freedom of the press and the fight for democratic rights in early Canada.
- Fort George National Historic Site of Canada - As the tour passes Fort George, you’ll view a key historic military site from the War of 1812. This national historic site is where British forces, along with their allies, stood against the American invasion of Upper Canada. The fort was originally built in 1802 and served as a crucial defensive position during the war.
While the tour won’t stop, the Fort George National Historic Site offers a glimpse into Canada’s military history, with its well-preserved barracks, cannons, and fortifications. The site also offers scenic views of the Niagara River and is a popular spot for those interested in the history of the conflict that helped shape Canada’s future.
- Niagara Whirlpool - The unforgettable visit to Niagara Falls continues with a stop at the Whirlpool Rapids observation deck, where you’ll witness the Niagara River at its most intense. Watch as the water surges through the narrow gorge, creating powerful rapids and swirling currents that form one of the most impressive natural whirlpools in the world. This is a perfect photo stop and a chance to appreciate the incredible force of nature from a safe yet thrilling vantage point. Interpretive signs along the way provide fascinating insights into the geology and history of this dramatic site.
- Floral Clock - Situated along the scenic Niagara Parkway, the Floral Clock is one of Niagara Parks’ most cherished and photographed landmarks. This unique horticultural timepiece features a vibrant display made up of over 16,000 seasonal flowers and plants, meticulously arranged to create a beautiful and ever-changing design. The clock face spans 40 feet in diameter and is fully functional, with hands that actually tell time.
