Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your Ultimate Day Tour

How long does the ride take?

About 30 minutes, depending on traffic and pickup locations.

Is the Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour operational year-round?

No, the Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour is not operational year-round. Operated by Niagara City Cruises, the tour typically runs from April through November, with exact dates varying annually based on weather conditions and ice clearance from the Niagara River. During the off-season (typically late fall through early spring), or when the boat tour is not available, the Journey Behind the Falls will be substituted. This year-round experience offers a unique perspective of the falls from observation decks and tunnels located behind the cascading water.

Will I get wet on the Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour?

Yes—you'll likely feel the mist! Niagara City Cruises provides ponchos to help keep you dry, but the spray from the Falls can be powerful, especially near Horseshoe Falls. It's all part of the fun and excitement! We recommend wearing waterproof shoes or bringing a change of socks and consider a waterproof case for your phone or camera.

How large is the tour group?

Our tours accommodate up to 55 guests per bus, offering a comfortable and sociable group travel experience with plenty of opportunities to connect with your guide and fellow travelers.

Is the tour suitable for seniors or guests with limited mobility?

Yes. This is a relaxed-paced tour with minimal walking at each stop. Guests can stay on the bus during short stops if preferred. Please note: the boat tour is accessible but may require short walks to board.

Can I bring children?

Absolutely! Children are welcome on this tour and enjoy discounted rates. It's a family-friendly adventure with plenty of photo ops and fun sights.

What if it rains?

The tour runs rain or shine. The Falls are dramatic and beautiful in all weather. Just pack an umbrella or raincoat for added comfort.

Are gratuities expected?

Tips for your guide and driver are not required but always appreciated if you enjoyed the experience.
