Wine Country Trolley Tour

This small group tour is a fantastic way to discover the wine country around Niagara-on-the-Lake. Board a San Francisco style trolley bus and travel along the pretty Niagara Parkway, passing fruit orchards and stopping at a couple of the region's finest vineyards for a tasting. The tour takes between two-and-a-half and three hours and is accompanied by informative commentary on the area's history and attractions.

Voyage to the Falls

Possibly one of the most famous boat rides in Canada, the 15-minute Voyage to the Falls takes you up close to the breathtaking Niagara Falls. This unforgettable journey begins with stunning views of the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls before you feel the exhilarating spray as your boat – a state-of-the-art catamaran – tips her nose into the mist of the thundering Horseshoe Falls. Waterproof ponchos are provided so you can fully enjoy the spectacular views from the outdoor deck, allowing you to experience the power of the Falls firsthand. For those who prefer to stay dry, there is also a comfortable indoor viewing area, making this adventure accessible to everyone. Whether you’re on the deck or inside, the Voyage to the Falls promises a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Niagara Region - Ideas for Free Time

There are a whole host of waterfall-related attractions at Niagara, and the Adventure Pass is a great way to access the main ones: the White Water Walk, Journey Behind the Falls, Niagara’s Fury, and the Hornblower Cruise. You just have to take a deep breath and go with the flow here – it is generally bursting at the seams with visitors, but amongst these various attractions, there is a lot to learn about both the natural and cultural history of the falls – for example, the mind-boggling statistics of how much water passes through here and the weird and wonderful world record attempts that have been made on both ascending and descending the falls. To get away from the crowds, you don’t have to go far along the Niagara Parkway. Just ten minutes away are the serene Botanical Gardens and the magical Butterfly Conservatory, where thousands of colourful butterflies are bred and nurtured in a huge tropical greenhouse with pathways and interpretive information throughout. A little further on is the iconic Niagara Clock – a unique, 40-foot-wide floral timepiece. Pretty Niagara-on-the-Lake is the kind of place where you can easily lose a couple of hours, and more than likely spend a few dollars. Here, you will find a delightful complement of charming little shops selling everything from bespoke hats and hand-crafted jewellery to giftware and quality antiques. If the temptation is too much, then you can retreat to one of the many lovely cafés and just watch the world go by. There is also a nice waterfront path which skirts the shoreline, bordered by trees and parkland, and with extensive views out across Lake Ontario – on a clear day, you can see the silhouette of Toronto on the other side. Finally, this whole area is an excellent fruit-growing region, and you will often see stalls on the side of the road selling a selection of locally grown items. This also means fantastic wine, and there are a number of distinguished vineyards in the region, most with open cellar doors and a few with restaurants that will happily serve you a delicious, wine-matched lunch.

Niagara Adventure Pass

There are several attractions in Niagara which enable you to view the falls and learn about them from different perspectives, and the Niagara Adventure Pass includes entrance to a number of them whilst avoiding the sometimes long waiting times. This pass includes entrance to the White Water Walk, a boardwalk which runs alongside the Niagara River at its most breath-takingly ebullient point; Journey Behind the Falls, a tunnel which takes you behind the cascading wall of water; and Niagara’s Fury: the Creation of the Falls – an interactive, 4D visual experience which brings this force of nature to life. It also includes transportation on the local WEGO bus which shuttles around the park and along the Niagara Parkway as far as the lovely botanical gardens and butterfly conservancy.
