Take in the sights of the Canadian-side of Niagara Falls while enjoying the outdoors on our walking tour of Niagara Falls. Your guide will take you on a narrated walking tour through Dufferin Islands - one of Niagara’s best kept secrets, and along the Niagara Parkway along the way to the Falls ending at the Hornblower boat cruise loading site where you can choose to take a ride into the mist or continue exploring Niagara Falls on your own.

What's Included

  • Guided, narrated walking tour of Niagara Falls area and nearby Dufferin Islands
  • Photo stop opportunities at: Dufferin Islands, the Old Scow, Upper Rapids, Power Stations (the former Toronto Power Generating Station and the Canadian Niagara Power Station), the Illumination Tower and the Falls

What you'll do

  • Your Niagara Falls Walking Tour begins at the meeting point at Dufferin Islands. Your guide will meet you outside and take you on a walkthrough of the area. You will marvel at the picturesque trails and be pleasantly surprised at how secluded the islands feel despite being so close to the Falls. The Dufferin Islands are truly one of Niagara’s best-hidden gems.
  • After your walk through the Islands, your guide will take you on a stroll along the Niagara Parkway to view famous Niagara landmarks including the Old Scow, Upper Rapids, the power stations, the Illumination Tower, and of course, the Niagara Falls themselves. Your knowledgeable guide will share lots of fun facts about the area and will be sure to make sure you have time for photos at each stop so you can remember these sights and share them with loved ones.
  • Along the way, you will also pass by the Nikola Tesla Monument and catch a glimpse at Goat Island, NY from the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
  • At the end of your tour, your guide will bring you to the Hornblower loading area in the heart of Niagara’s tourism district. If you’ve chosen to take part in the cruise, you will continue onward to a refreshing, socially distanced boat ride into the mist. For guests not taking part in the cruise, you will be able to continue exploring the beautiful city of Niagara Falls on your own.

We loved our tour with Jo. Very informative and at a good pace, and Jo is very personable! Meeting point was a little vague but Jo got us sorted out. It was nice to see Dufferin Islands, which we didn’t previously know about
