Niagara Falls & Niagara on the Lake 27

Day 1

Welcome Aboard! Travel in comfort aboard our deluxe motor coach to the spectacular Niagara Falls, Ontario where the power and beauty of Mother Nature are on full display. Enjoy breathtaking views of the falls as we arrive at this world-famous destination. After lunch on your own, we depart for the Canadian-U.S. border, so please have your PASSPORTS ready! Once across the border it is a short ride to our hotel, the Fairfield Inn & Suites, our home for the next three nights. Located on the Canadian side of the falls, our hotel provides convenient walking access to the falls, (approximately four blocks or a 10-minute walk), where you can take in awe-inspiring views, visit exciting attractions, and enjoy plenty of shopping! This evening, we gather for a delicious dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 2

After breakfast we meet our step-on guide and depart for a tour of Niagara Falls using your Niagara Parks Adventure Pass. Your deluxe passport includes admission to the Hornblower Niagara River Cruise, an exciting boat ride to the base of the American Falls and into the basin of the magnificent Canadian Horseshoe Falls. You will also visit the White Water Board Walk, where you can stroll along a scenic boardwalk beside the thundering Niagara River and marvel at the relentless power and beauty of nature. The experience continues at the Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory, a year-round tropical paradise where colorful butterflies fill the air, and if you stand perfectly still, one might even land on you. Tonight, dinner is on your own. You will have several options nearby to choose from, including popular fast-food restaurants and full-service dining, all within easy walking distance of the hotel.

Day 3

After breakfast we meet our step-on guide and depart for another day of sightseeing in Canada. Our first stop is the charming 1800s Victorian seaside village of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Enjoy leisure time exploring what was once the first capital of Ontario while browsing its many specialty shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Lunch is on your own. Next, we visit Chocolate FX for a guided tour explaining the chocolate-making process. From a production viewing window, watch chocolatiers carefully craft sweets using artisan chocolate panning and molding techniques. Afterwards, enjoy delicious samples from the chocolate tasting bar. Be sure to visit the large retail shop, where you will find hundreds of sweet treats, from gift baskets and chocolate-covered nuts or fruit to cream-filled favorites, perfect for any chocolate lover! Our final stop of the day is Reif Estate Winery, where we will enjoy a tasting of selected wines produced at this renowned Niagara wine estate. Before returning to the hotel, we are treated to a delicious dinner at a local restaurant.

Day 4

After breakfast we depart for the Canadian-U.S. border, so have your PASSPORTS ready! Before crossing back into the United States, we will stop at a Duty-Free Shop where you will have time for some last-minute souvenir shopping.
