The falls
Niagara Parks runs Journey Behind the Falls, the Niagara Parks Power Station with its tunnel to the river, the Butterfly Conservatory and guided walks along the gorge (Niagara Parks).
The boat
Niagara City Cruises is, in its words, Canada’s official and only Niagara Falls boat tour, sailing close to the mist of the American and Horseshoe Falls.
