Reservations are not necessary and tickets can be purchased at the attraction ticket window. During a typical season the boat rides below Niagara Falls opens in late April or early May and runs until mid to late October.

All guests are issued a disposable plastic poncho to wear during the tour which will keep you reasonably dry. When the boat gets close to the Canadian Falls is where you will encounter the majority of mist. If you wish to stay dry simply move to another location on the boat where there is less mist. The tour lasts 15-20 minutes. For clothing, summer is for shorts and t-shirts. A pair of beach shoes or sneakers work fine but don’t wear anything you wouldn’t want to get damp. For spring and fall weather you need to dress appropriately for the local weather and just expect to get slightly damp. Usually you will have the ability to get great photos right up until you get close to the base of the Canadian Falls. Remember that even a slight mist on your camera lens will ruin any photo!

The entrance is in Queen Victoria Park less than a minute walk from the base of Clifton Hill. Parking is available at one of three very large parking lots near Queen Victoria Park.

This video displays the old Maid of the Mist boat passing in front of the American Falls.

Over 70% of visitors rate the Holiday Inn as very good to excellent. Location is great as it’s close to the Falls and the Fallsview Casino. There is also a great selection of nearby restaurants at the Hilton Fallsview and the Casino.

It is only a six minute walk to Queen Victoria Park and fifteen minutes to the Boat ride below the Falls ticket window. If you are not interested in all the kitsch of Clifton Hill and want to be closer to the Table Rock House and Journey Behind the Falls this is the place for you!

While the Best Western is not within walking distance of the Falls we think this is a high quality hotel for the price. Reviews are almost always very good with very few complaints.

For those of you who might visit Niagara Falls during the off-season the large swimming pool is very inviting and of course the kids just love it.

Hornblower cruises, introduction.

Niagara Falls, one of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders of the world, draws millions of visitors each year. The sheer power and beauty of these iconic falls make them a must-see. For those looking to get up close and personal with the thunderous cascades, there’s no better way than a cruise with Hornblower Niagara Cruises.

The Hornblower Experience

Hornblower Niagara Cruises offers a unique and exhilarating way to experience Niagara Falls. Their state-of-the-art catamaran boats take you right into the heart of the action, providing a front-row seat to the mesmerizing power of the falls.

Daytime Voyage to the Falls

The Voyage to the Falls daytime cruise is a must for first-time visitors. As the boat sets off from the dock, you’ll sail past the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, getting ever closer to the imposing Horseshoe Falls. The anticipation builds as you feel the mist in the air and hear the thunderous roar of the falls. Donning the provided poncho, you’ll be ready to embrace the splash as the boat reaches the climax of its journey — the base of the Horseshoe Falls, where millions of gallons of water cascade down every minute. It’s a sensory overload of sight, sound, and touch that leaves an indelible mark on every visitor.

Falls Fireworks Cruise

For those looking for a different perspective, the Falls Fireworks Cruise offers an enchanting experience. This evening tour takes you to the base of the falls under the cover of night. The illuminated falls glow in the darkness, creating a magical atmosphere. As you drift beneath the starlit sky, the tour culminates with a dazzling fireworks display, providing a perfect capstone to your Niagara adventure.

Onboard Amenities and Accessibility

Tips for Your Trip

Arrive Early : Especially during peak seasons, arriving early can help you avoid long lines and get the best spots on the boat.
Dress Appropriately : Even with a poncho, you’re likely to get wet. Wearing waterproof clothing and comfortable shoes is advisable.
Bring a Camera : The views are stunning, but remember to protect your equipment from the mist.
Stay Safe : Follow the crew’s instructions and take care near the rails, as the boat can get quite slippery.

Experience the Thrill of a Lifetime

The Hornblower Niagara Cruises , the best way to experience Niagarafalls, Canada’s most spectacular wonder of the world. Hornblower Niagara Cruises is the official Canadian operator of boat tours to Niagara Falls and is located along the Niagara Parkway at the base of Clifton Hill in the Tourist District. The Maid of the Mist , which had been operating boat tours at The Falls since 1846, has re-located to the U.S. side of the Falls. Both of them follow the same route up to and back from the Falls.

Within the Niagara Great Gorge the boat travels past the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and into the very heart of the famous Horseshoe Falls for an exciting experience with the waterfalls.

Hornblower Niagara Cruises has two brand-new 700 seats catamarans (Niagara Thunder & Niagara Wonder), with facilities such as enclosed-glass viewing areas and tiered viewing decks on the top levels.

Hornblower Niagara Cruises have sunset cocktail cruises that include the voyage to the Falls with time to mingle and enjoy the bottom of the gorge.

Hornblower won a 30-year contract to be the sole tour operator on the Canadian side of the Falls after a bidding process conducted by the Niagara Parks Commission in 2012.

Hornblower also offers a couple of different types of cruises, including a falls illumination cruise and fireworks cruise

Hornblower Niagara Cruises have switched from the traditional blue coloured rain slickers to red.

Hornblower’s Niagara Falls cruises include:

The Voyage to the Falls: An early morning sunrise cruise, which features an up-close view of the Niagara Gorge, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. Cruises continue throughout the day.
A Sunset Cocktail Cruise: Guests get to sample Niagara wines and beverages and watch the sun set on the Falls.
The Falls Illumination Cruise: Highlights panoramic views of city lights and multi-coloured illumination of The Falls with a licensed bar and snacks on board.
Falls Fireworks Cruise: On weekends and holidays, visitors can cruise with views of the illuminated Falls and fireworks display. A licensed bar and snacks are also available.

Hornblower Cruises has a storied history that began in 1974 with just two ships sailing in Berkeley, California. In 1980, the company changed ownership and moved its focus to San Diego, San Francisco, Newport Beach, and Marina del Rey, expanding quickly by acquiring other charter yacht businesses. The company’s headquarters, located at the iconic Steel Electric-class Santa Rosa ferry anchored at Pier 3 in San Francisco, remains there to this day.

In 1992, the company was renamed Hornblower Cruises & Events under the sole ownership of Terry MacRae, who recognized that the company wasn’t just a cruise operator for businesses but also for special events like marriage ceremonies, film shoots, soirées, and more! Hornblower Cruises & Events has continued to grow, and in 2019, it acquired Entertainment Cruises, which doubled the number of ferries and locations where they operate. Today, with a fleet of over 80 ships, Hornblower sails from 19 different ports, a far cry from its humble beginnings.

Hornblower Canada Company now operates the Niagara Falls Gorge Boat Tour from the Canadian side of the Niagara River, near the magnificent Niagara Falls. The Niagara Falls Cruises previously belonged to the Maid of the Mist, which now sails out of Niagara Falls, New York. The Niagara Falls Cruises have two impressive ships – the Niagara Wonder and Niagara Thunder – with a capacity of up to 700 passengers each.

If you are planning a trip to Niagara Falls and want to know what to do in Niagara Falls during the day, read our guide to the Perfect One Day in Niagara Itinerary, Things to Do in Niagara Falls

1. Niagara Falls Illumination

When visiting Niagara Falls at night, make sure to go down to the walkway along the Niagara Parkway to witness the Illumination. Thanks to the Niagara Falls Illumination Board’s change from the existing Xenon lights in 2016 to the more efficient LED lights, Niagara Falls is lit with 20,000 LED lights that emit more than twice the level of light as the previous lighting levels. The spectacular display is free for everyone to watch the nightly illumination from anywhere.

You can book an Illumination and Fireworks Tour that includes a guide who takes you to key attractions such as Table Rock Centre, the Skylon Tower, and it includes a cruise along the Niagara River. You will be amazed at how vivid the colors are, illuminating the regal Niagara Falls for everyone to enjoy.

The colors over Niagara Falls change to celebrate different holidays, such as red and green, during Christmas and to mark significant dates. The programmable lighting changes depending on the time of year.

They rotate colors throughout the rest of the year but also have special events. It is completely free to watch, and some of the best places to see them are from Queen Victoria Park and the viewing platform above the Hornblower.

Watching the majestic falls come alive with vibrant colors is one of the best things to do at night in Niagara Falls. The illumination schedule runs from sunset to midnight and offers a mesmerizing view of the falls in a whole new light.

The American Falls Are Illuminated, Too

To really experience Niagara Falls at night, don’t miss the fireworks display combined with the Falls Illumination. During the summer months, the Niagara Falls lighting goes a step further, magnifying the fall’s illumination with fireworks lighting up the night sky.

Niagara Falls at night is beautiful, but with a spectacular fireworks display, it is magnificent. The fireworks are a regular feature during the summer months and on special holidays, adding extra sparkle to your night. The best place to watch the fireworks is from Queen Victoria Park, the platform at the Zipline or anywhere along the water’s edge above the Niagara Gorge.

Journey Behind the Falls, the terrace at Queen Victoria Place Restaurant, or any of the Fallsview Restaurants with a view are also great.

Clifton Hill is known as the “Street of Fun,” and there are so many things to keep you occupied, from haunted houses to mini-golf to wax museums to nightlife events, all lit up after dark.

Where Else to Eat in Niagara Falls, Canada

Brasa Brazilian Steakhouse —Having sampled Brazilian Barbecue in Brazil, we can say that this restaurant gets it right. If you are into meat, you get all-you-can-eat meat of all kinds and cuts. Here’s a pro tip—don’t fill up too much on the salad bar. You won’t have room for the tender cuts, and it’s pricey, so you’ll want to get your money’s worth.

Rainbow Room – Located in the Crown Plaza Rainbow Room, another one of the best views of the Falls. looking down the US falls towards the Horseshoe. It has an extensive wine list to go with the seasonal menu created by Chef Massimo Capra.

Napoli Restaurant and Pizzeria – This is a staple in the city and when we’re craving Italian, we head to Napoli. Located just outside the Fallsview tourist area, it’s a short walk on Stanely Street.
