Niagara Falls Private Night Tour with Fallsview Dinner, Fireworks Cruise and Tower

This private night tour starts with hotel pickup in a private vehicle and ends with a drop-off at the hotel. It suits couples, families and small groups, and the evening is built around dinner, a boat and the Illumination Tower. A narrated drive goes through Dufferin Islands, a 10-acre park just south of Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario, with small islands joined by footbridges and walking trails. Ducks, geese and other birds are common there. In winter the islands carry the Winter Festival of Lights decorations. Dinner is at a restaurant with a view of the illuminated falls, followed by the Fireworks Cruise by Niagara City Cruises. The boat ride lasts 40 minutes and goes up to the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls, with the fireworks overhead. Departures are timed to match the fireworks schedule. The last stop is the Illumination Tower, where guests step inside and change the colours of the falls with the lighting controls. They also hear how the illumination began and how the technology has changed over the years. The central meeting location is the Continental Pancake House parking lot, 5810 Stanley Avenue, for guests without hotel pickup. Parking there is $10 CAD, cash only, and $20 CAD on American and Canadian holiday weekends.
