Niagara Falls Canada: Boat Ride, Behind the Falls & Power Station

Experience the wonder and power of Niagara Falls up close and in person.

Journey Behind The Falls consists of a tunnel running directly behind the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. You will journey deep within to touch the heart of Niagara. Before you, the mighty river explodes after free-falling more than thirteen stories. The sound is magnificent; the sight, awe-inspiring. Raincoats are provided.

Tour Canada's first major hydroelectric plant, restored with interactive exhibits and original artifacts. Descend 180 feet by glass elevator to a 2,200-foot tunnel beneath the station, emerging at a riverside observation deck with a spectacular view of Horseshoe Falls from below.

Step into a lush, tropical paradise where over 2,000 vibrant butterflies flutter freely around you. Stroll winding pathways lined with exotic plants, trickling waterfalls, and colorful blooms as you experience one of the largest glass-enclosed butterfly conservatories in North America. It’s a peaceful and enchanting stop that’s perfect for all ages.

BONUS ON YOUR OWN TIME - Take a walk like no other, along a boardwalk at the very edge of one of the world’s wildest stretches of whitewater! Marvel at the relentless power and beauty of nature and see how the deep and narrow Great Gorge was created.
