Niagara Region
The travel was inspiring.
Niagara Falls
While there are many things to experience here besides the Falls, a trip to Niagara would be incomplete without a visit to the Falls. And why not? Walk up to the Falls, listen to the roar of the water, look up at this true natural wonder that drops more than 50 meters, feel the mist of the water in your face, and feel the pure power of the Falls in your body… These sensory experiences will be unforgettable.
The most classic way to see the falls is by boat.

Visit the Grand Canyon, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls from the observation deck. At night, you can also see the falls lit up on the special “Illumination Night Cruise”.
If you like the beauty of this waterfall, why not go behind it and find out more?
Journey Behind the Falls, step onto an elevator and descend 150 feet through bedrock to a point just below the rim of the gorge and into the heart of Niagara Falls. Once through the tunnel, you’ll be standing behind a wall of water more than 13 stories high, a sight like no other.
Besides viewing the Falls from the front and back, what other perspectives can you get?
