Niagara Falls, ON: Helicopter Ride with Boat & Skylon Lunch

Your thrilling day tour of Niagara Falls begins with pick up directly from your hotel in Niagara Falls. Next, you’ll enjoy a narrated driving tour of the city before heading to your first stop at Journey Behind the Falls. At Journey Behind the Falls you will descend 125 ft (approx. 40m) to explore cave-like tunnels behind the Falls at Journey Behind the Falls. The tunnels lead to two observation decks, giving you a great photo opportunity. Your next experience will be a hard vacation memory to top as you take the ride of a lifetime - a helicopter tour around Niagara Falls, the gorge and the surrounding area. The photos you’ll take while on board are guaranteed to make your friends jealous, yet still won’t compare to the feeling of catching this view in person. After your helicopter tour, your guide will take you to board the Hornblower Niagara Cruises boat ride (seasonal, operating April - November only, replaced with admission to Niagara's Fury and Butterfly Conservatory in the winter months). On your cruise, you will sail around the Niagara gorge and get as close as possible to the Falls. Next, you will visit the Skylon Tower where you’ll head up a glass elevator to the restaurant where you will be treated to an incredible view of the Falls while you enjoy lunch. When you’re done eating, you can take the elevator up a floor to the observation deck area where you can snap selfies with the perfect backdrop. During the final portion of your tour, your guide will take you on a narrated driving tour of the city where you will learn about Niagara’s rich history and distinct geography. Your guide will take you to several points of interest including the Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, the Old Scow, and Whirlpool Rapids. At the end of your tour, your guide will drop you off back at your hotel.
