Waterfall Travels · WINTER ACTIVITIES
Flow, fees and distance decide a waterfall day more than the drop height does. Here are 9 winter days out with all three set out, best first.
Explore the American side of Niagara Falls in 3 to 4 hours with guides such as Dayna, Nancy, Tim, or Lenny. You’ll visit Cave of the Winds, Whirlpool State Park, Bridal Veil Falls, Goat Island, and the Observation Tower. Expect ice, spray, changing access, and a maximum group size of 16.
“Dayna was absolutely amazing and down to earth. The trip was exactly what it was supposed to be.....”
Leave Melbourne at 8 AM for three hours of snow play at Lake Mountain, then walk to Steavenson Falls and stop at Yarra Valley Chocolaterie. Your English-speaking local guide handles the driving, resort entry, and timing. Joe and Lauren have received special praise, though guides vary by departure.

“A wonderful fun walk. We got taken deep into thw woods and our guide spoke about all the nature in the area! She was fantastic. Only complaint was a small mix up in the booking. But it was quickly resolved and we had a blast!”
Join Niagara Fun Tours for a six-hour, English-guided trip from Niagara Falls or Niagara-on-the-Lake. You’ll visit three wineries for included tastings, stop at Caroline Cellars for lunch, and browse Wayne Gretzky and Trius without included samples. Guides such as Tyler and Tina add local context, but winery stops can change by season.
“Details said we would be travelling by coach bus although it was a school bus which was very unexpected. Other then that, Tina was an amazing bus driver and due to our guide not being able to attend, she also took over and was full of energy and really made the trip fun and engaging and a great learning experience. We did not get to go to 4 wineries, only 3 and the 4th place was a whiskey tasting, which I also was not too happy about and wish I would’ve been given more details beforehand. All in all, everyone did have a good time despite these things but I…”
Travel from Melbourne to Lake Mountain for three hours of snow play, tobogganing, alpine walks, and winter views. Your English-speaking driver-guide, such as Cory or Joe, handles the long drive, while stops at Steavenson Falls, Marysville, and the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie add variety. Bring waterproof clothes, lunch money, and patience for a full 10-hour day.
“Our tour guide and driver was Cory. He is funny and knowledgeable. He is engaging and very thoughtful of our wellbeing. The tour day was fun and ample time to explore the mountain. We love the chocolate factory too!! They are yummy. Hot chocolate is a must!! Highly recommended.”

Stop along the Niagara Parkway, see the falls at sunset, and explore the Winter Festival of Lights, with optional access to Journey Behind the Falls and Skylon Tower. Ali may guide and drive your coach.
“I was disappointed by the tour, although Ali was friendly, he didn’t let us know what we were doing and where we were going in advance. The itinerary was not as expected and we were expecting to be back by 8pm but when on the coach we were informed we wouldn’t be leaving until after the fireworks after 8pm. At one point we were concerned we wouldn’t actually make it to the falls while it was still daylight. Ali tried to be informative on the drive to the falls, pointing out places of interest and historical value but it would have been better to have a separate tour guide doing…”
