What Is the Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto Pearson Airport — Boat Cruise?
Quick answer
A 9–10 hour tour that meets you right at Toronto Pearson arrivals, takes you straight to the Falls for the boat cruise and a winery stop, and returns you to the terminal or your Toronto hotel — $245 per person, ideal for long layovers and arrival days.
Airport hours are usually dead time. This tour converts them: your luggage rides securely with us all day, your pickup flexes with your actual landing time, and you’re back at the terminal with comfortable margin before your onward flight.

Questions About This Tour
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We monitor your flight number and shift the pickup to your real arrival time at no charge — that’s exactly what this tour is built for. Just add your flight details when you book.
Can you store my luggage during the tour?
Your bags stay locked in the vehicle the entire day, so there’s no airport storage to arrange and no schlepping suitcases around the Falls.
Is there enough buffer to make my connecting flight?
Yes — we plan the day backwards from your departure time and keep a comfortable margin for check-in and security. Tell us your flight when booking and we’ll confirm the timing works.
Do you pick up from both terminals?
We collect from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 arrivals, and we confirm the exact meeting point plus your driver’s contact details before you land.
Our flagship day out: Toronto hotel pickup, the boat ride to the base of Horseshoe Falls, an ice-wine tasting and every Parkway photo stop worth making.
