Depart from Toronto Harbour’s Queens Quay aboard a Seaflight Hydrofoil to the Niagara region. A box lunch will be served while you journey across Lake Ontario to the mouth of the Niagara River. After a leisurely trip up the river, we dock at historic Queenston Heights.

At Queenston Heights, we'll board a bus to the Seventh Wonder of the World, Niagara Falls Park! Once there, you can spend the afternoon on your own exploring the various attractions offered in the area.  Enjoy a boat ride to the base of the Falls on the world famous Maid of the Mist, or take a thrilling Journey Behind the Falls. Be sure to visit the magnificent Butterfly Conservatory, home to over 2,000 free flying tropical butterflies. Or rent a bicycle and ride to the Falls. Following along the Niagara River, you will discover many spectacular views on the Niagara Parks Recreation Trail Area. The extravaganza price includes a ticket on the People Mover which can take you between the various sites and then finally to the dinner site.   However, please note that all activities and attractions suggested above are "on your own" and may cost extra.

At 7:00 pm, we will regroup at the Queenston Heights Restaurant for an elegant dinner with a breathtaking view overlooking the Niagara River. After dinner, we'll reboard the bus and hydrofoil for our return to Toronto.  We recommend you avoid early morning Sunday departures!
