Your day, step by step

Your boat tour from North York

A private tour — the driver waits at every stop, so the day runs on your clock, from pickup in North York to the soaking at the foot of the Horseshoe aboard Niagara City Cruises.

  1. 01

    Door-to-door pickup

    Your chauffeur collects you at your North York address and stows your bags — you travel together, so there's no parking to find at the busiest attraction in Ontario.

  2. 02

    The drive to the river

    About 105 minutes down the QEW and onto the Niagara Parkway, arriving at Table Rock above the Horseshoe Falls.

  3. 03

    Board Niagara City Cruises

    Walk to the Niagara City Cruises dock (the Canadian-side boat — the same soaked-at-the-Horseshoe voyage as the US Maid of the Mist, no passport). You buy your ~CA$48 ticket at the gate; your driver waits.

  4. 04

    The Voyage to the Falls

    The ~20-minute sail carries you past the American Falls to the thundering basin of the Horseshoe — ponchos on, the real reason you came.

  5. 05

    The ride home

    Dry off, and the same chauffeur returns you to North York — no traffic stress, no post-soak drive.

Pickup from North York · Toronto

Niagara boat-tour day trips from North York

Our North York pickups cluster where the city rises: North York Centre and Mel Lastman Square, the Willowdale condo towers along Yonge, and the Sheppard corridor running east toward Bayview. From there your chauffeur drops onto Highway 401 westbound, threads the interchange to the 427 and the QEW, then follows the lakeshore south — roughly 138 km and about 105 minutes to the falls. It is North America's busiest highway sitting on your doorstep, and letting someone else handle that merge is half the reason North York books a private car at all.

We are a transport company, not a ticket seller. We drive you door-to-door from North York, park, and wait — you buy your own admission at the gate. On the Canadian side that boat is Niagara City Cruises: about CA$48 plus HST, no passport needed, a roughly 20-minute Voyage to the Falls that leaves you soaked at the foot of the Horseshoe. We stay on the Canadian side only. The US Maid of the Mist sits across the gorge; we never cross the border to reach it.

North York sends us every kind of group — Willowdale's Persian and Korean families travelling three generations deep, Yonge-corridor couples, corporate teams pairing a falls afternoon with a Pearson connection. After dark the falls illumination glows nightly and free, while seasonal fireworks burst around 10 PM on select dates — public shows, no ticket required. Your price is flat per vehicle with 13% HST already in, never per person and never a deposit: Sedan CA$580, SUV CA$820, Van CA$1,240 for a six-hour North York day.

Straight answers

North York → Niagara: your questions

How long is the drive from North York to Niagara Falls?

About 105 minutes each way (138 km) via the QEW and Niagara Parkway, traffic depending. Your chauffeur tracks conditions and times the pickup so you arrive relaxed.

Do you pick up anywhere in North York?

Yes — any North York address: home, hotel, office or a specific landmark. Door-to-door both ways, with no extra charge for the pickup within the area.

Is the Maid of the Mist on the Canadian side?

The Maid of the Mist departs from the US side and needs a passport. On the Canadian side the equivalent boat is Niagara City Cruises — the same voyage to the foot of the Horseshoe Falls, and the boat our tours use. No passport, no border crossing.

Do you sell the boat tickets?

No — we're a transport service. We drive you to the dock and wait; you buy your Niagara City Cruises ticket (about CA$48 + HST) directly at the gate. That keeps our price honest and lets you skip the boat if the weather turns.

Will I get wet on the boat?

Yes — that's the point. The boat sails into the spray at the base of the Horseshoe Falls. A recyclable poncho is provided at the dock, but expect a refreshing soak.

Is the price per person or per vehicle?

Per vehicle. One flat rate covers the whole car with 13% HST included — the boat ticket is separate and paid at the gate.

When does the boat run?

Niagara City Cruises operates roughly late April through November, weather permitting. Outside that season we still run the day tour to the Falls; the boat simply isn't sailing.
