Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about your tour

In summer (mid-May to mid-Oct), the signature highlight is the 9:30 PM Fireworks Cruise (Apr 1–Nov 1). In winter (Nov–Mar), the cruise is not available, but the tour includes Journey Behind the Falls (timed at 4:15 PM) and, from Nov 15–Jan 4, the Winter Festival of Lights drive. Both seasons include Whirlpool, Maple Leaf Place tasting, Table Rock views, and the option of Queen Victoria Place dinner with Illumination Tower access.

No. The Illumination Tower is exclusively for guests who book the Queen Victoria Place dinner add-on. If you don't choose dinner, you'll enjoy free time at Clifton Hill/Table Rock during that slot and watch the Falls illumination and fireworks from public viewpoints.

Guests who skip these add-ons always get free time: Summer (no dinner/boat): extra free time at Clifton Hill/Table Rock and fireworks from land. Winter (no dinner/JBF): free time at Clifton Hill or Table Rock exhibits/shops before rejoining the group.

Fireworks run nightly at 10:00 PM from mid-May to mid-October, weather permitting. If canceled, the Falls are still illuminated, and you'll enjoy extended viewing at Table Rock and the Parkway.

No. The boat cruise operates April 1–Nov 1. In summer, dinner guests can add the 9:30 PM Fireworks Cruise. In winter, this is replaced with Journey Behind the Falls and, seasonally, the Winter Festival of Lights.

Not in summer. Helicopter guests in summer will miss the Whirlpool + Maple Leaf Place stop (to keep timing). In winter, helicopter flights are earlier and usually allow rejoining the main coach for the tasting.

Dinner at Queen Victoria Place is optional. Guests booking it receive a preset two-course menu with vegetarian options available. Please notify us of dietary needs at booking. Guests who do not book dinner enjoy free time before the Tower visit (Tower is included only with dinner).

Yes. It's a coach-based tour with moderate walking at viewpoints and attractions. Free-time flexibility makes it family-friendly, and heated/cooled coaches keep it comfortable year-round.

Comfortable shoes, layers for mist and evening temperatures, and a camera. Keepsake ponchos are provided for wet activities (boat in summer, Journey Behind the Falls in winter).

Yes, subject to availability. Guests who choose the helicopter add-on during the tour will miss the Whirlpool stop and maple syrup, chocolate, and fudge tasting in order to keep timing.
