About Niagara Falls Night Tour
Experience Niagara Falls in a completely new way with our Niagara Falls Night Tour! Board our river cruise and see Niagara Falls up close, with magical lights dancing across the waterfalls. Then, look up into the starry skies for a mesmerizing, multicolor fireworks display.
Every evening, all three waterfalls (Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls) are lit up in dazzling multi-color light shows. You’ll see the Niagara Falls nightly illumination up close, experiencing the waterfalls in a unique way.
Exploring Niagara Falls at night means you’ll see more than just stars in the skies. A vibrant fireworks display will illuminate the black sky, as every color of the rainbow bursts over the brink of the legendary Falls.
To board the cruise, a funicular will take you to the base of the Niagara River Gorge and the Riverside Patio. There you’ll have amazing views of Niagara Falls and can really soak in the scenic nature.
By booking our Niagara Falls Night Tour, you skip straight to the start of the line! You won’t spend an hour (or longer!) uncomfortably standing in line. Instead, enter immediately, and save yourself a lot of time.
Don’t worry if you don’t know your exact travel itinerary. You can simply reserve the tour and pay later after your plans are finalized. Alternatively, with our free cancellation policy, simply cancel and re-book for another day - just make sure you do it up to 24 hours in advance.

My mother isn’t very mobile, but we still wanted her to enjoy Niagara Falls. This night tour was perfect. She could sit down, relax, and still see all the light shows and the famous waterfalls. Our favorite was the Canadian Horseshoe Falls - probably because they’re the most impressive. The kids loved the pretty lights too!
I’m so happy I convinced my dad to take us on this night river cruise - the light shows were beautiful! We’ve visited Niagara Falls before, but I really wanted to see Bridal Falls and American Falls all lit up. Also, being able to skip the line was really helpful.
