What to expect
Behind the falls, after dark
Your evening starts with pre-reserved access to Journey Behind the Falls, your guide leading you down through tunnels carved into the rock. You'll come out at observation points just steps from the cascade, close enough to feel it. Standing behind one of the world's great waterfalls is rare at any hour, and rarer still as the light fades.
The illuminated walk to the dock
Next you'll follow the waterfront promenade as daylight dims and the illumination begins, powerful beams turning the falls through shifting color. Your guide stops at the best vantage points for photos and tells the story behind the nightly light show, its history, and the people who shaped Niagara's legend. The walk ends at the cruise dock, with boarding handled for you.
"By day the falls are a sight. At night, lit up with fireworks going off above the boat, they're an event. People board chatting and go completely silent."

"There's one fireworks cruise a night, and we've got your seat. While everyone else watches from the rail, you're on the water right in front of it all."
