Begin your evening with pre-reserved entry to Journey Behind the Falls, one of Niagara’s most iconic attractions. Instead of viewing the falls from a distance, you’ll descend through tunnels carved directly into the bedrock behind the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

At the end of the tunnels, you’ll step into observation portals cut through the rock, where you can stand directly behind the curtain of water as it thunders past. You’ll also access the lower observation deck (weather permitting), located just steps from the base of the falls. From here, you’ll gain a powerful side perspective of the cascading water and begin to see the illumination transform the falls as night sets in.
Then, follow your guide along the Niagara Parkway toward the boat docks. Along the way, your guide will share stories of Niagara’s daredevils, its role in early hydroelectric innovation, and the evolution of the nightly light display that has become a signature part of the falls’ identity.

Conclude your evening aboard a special extended Niagara City Cruises Fireworks Cruise, offered only once per night during fireworks season. Your guide will escort you to the dock and assist with boarding before you sail into the gorge.

From the water, enjoy panoramic views of the illuminated Canadian Horseshoe Falls and American Falls. As the boat positions near the falls, the fireworks begin overhead, providing a front-row vantage point that cannot be experienced from shore.
