Niagara Falls Evening Tour With Boat Cruise
What Is the Niagara Falls Evening Tour With Boat Cruise?
Quick answer
The Niagara Falls Evening Tour with Boat Cruise is a 10 to 11 hour trip from Toronto that ends with the Falls glowing in colour after dark — and on scheduled nights, fireworks overhead. At $285 per person it includes hotel pickup, the Niagara City Cruises boat ride, a winery stop and the illumination finale.
This is the tour for travellers who want the magic of Niagara after sunset. You'll see the Falls in daylight and then watch them transform under coloured floodlights, with the lit-up mist creating one of the region's most photographed sights.

Evening tour begins · 1:00–2:00 PM
We collect you from your hotel, B&B or agreed meeting point anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area for the scenic drive out to Niagara.
Niagara-on-the-Lake & wine tasting
Wander a beautifully preserved 19th-century town before settling in for a tasting of Canadian wines, including the region's celebrated ice wine, at a local winery.
World's Smallest Chapel
Stop at this tiny, photogenic place of worship on the Niagara Parkway — a favourite quick photo spot before the next leg of the drive.
Whirlpool Rapids
Watch the Niagara River force itself through the gorge here, spinning counter-clockwise in a natural whirlpool. Guests who've added the optional helicopter flight are dropped at the helipad nearby.
Scenic drive on the Niagara Parkway
Cruise the riverside route at an easy pace, with wide-open views across the gorge the whole way.
Voyage to the Falls boat cruise
Board the Niagara City Cruises boat with your guide and sail right to the base of Horseshoe Falls — the day's most exhilarating stop, and a favourite for photos.
Free time to explore Niagara Falls
Take an hour to wander Niagara Falls at your own pace, browse for souvenirs, and grab dinner at one of the local restaurants (a meal add-on can also be booked in advance).
Falls illumination & seasonal fireworks
As night falls, watch Horseshoe Falls light up in shifting colour, with fireworks over the gorge on select summer and autumn evenings, weather permitting — best viewed from Queen Victoria Park.
Evening drop-off · around 11:30 PM–12:00 AM
We return you to your original pickup point in Toronto, capping off a full day and night at the Falls.
