Niagara Falls tours: both sides, the 1950 treaty and which tour to book

103 tours in five formats, typically 60 to 120 EUR, from a 3-hour boat ride on the American side to 5-day trips from New York. After tourist hours the treaty minimum flow is halved.

Under the 1950 treaty, Niagara Falls must carry at least 2,832 m³/s during daytime tourist hours from April to October, and at least 1,416 m³/s at any other time. The rest of this page follows from facts like that one: the falls are managed, shared between two countries, and sold in five different ways. We list 103 Niagara Falls tours typically at 60 to 120 EUR. They come as boat rides on the American side, a boat and a tunnel behind the falls on the Canadian side, coach days from Toronto, trips from New York that last a day or five, and evening tours. This page is about the place: how it formed, which side to see, what the official tickets cost in 2026, and how to choose among the five. Each format has a page of its own, linked below.

The place comes first, then the choice, and the choice mostly follows the city you sleep in: a bed in Toronto points to the coach tours, one in New York to the long trips, one on the Canadian shore to the boat and the tunnel, and a free evening to the night page. If you already know where you are leaving from, go straight to one of the five pages: American Side, Canadian Side, Niagara Falls Tours from Toronto, Day Trips and Multi-Day Tours from New York or Niagara Falls at Night. Three more tours, from Boston and Washington, D.C., belong to none of the formats and are listed on this page. The rest of Canada's falls, and why Niagara is only one of three places with tours, are on the Canada page. Niagara appears under both Canada and United States in the menu, and it is one page: the falls sit on the border, and so does the advice about which shore to pick and what to carry across.
