Spend about six hours seeing Niagara Falls from both countries. Ride up Skylon Tower, visit Table Rock and Queen Victoria Park, then take the Maid of the Mist from the US side when operating. In colder months, Journey Behind the Falls replaces the boat. Pickup is available from Niagara Falls hotels, not Toronto or Buffalo.

“This was a great experience! Jessica was knowledgeable and really showed us a good time. She was watching the schedule closely and noticed that there were a bunch of other buses lining up for the boat trip, so she pivoted and made that our last stop so we wouldn’t have to wait and got right in. We would not have been able to coordinate so many sights and stops on our own. I liked the ease of being able to see the sight and jump back on the bus for her to take us on to the next adventure. It was a really enjoyable day and I feel like this…”

We saw the American eagle, bison, grizzly bear, various deer and elk, coyotes, squirrels, and amazing scenery. I highly recommend BrushBuck Wildlife Tours and ask for Jeff Minck as your guide.

“Our tour guide Michael was amazing. Very knowledgeable in the Hawaiian culture, plants and animals around the island. The hike itself is easy and doable. The terrain can be a little rocky so you just need to watch your step. A good pair of tennis shoes you can wear in the water is a must. Mike took us to at least four different swimming holes and waterfalls. Lunch was also provided. It was a perfect Maui excursion. If you are a little unsteady or unsure about the hike, I recommend bringing walking poles with you.”
