A private chauffeured day trip to ride the Canadian-side Niagara boat (Niagara City Cruises), picking you up at your Oshawa door and returning you there. One flat rate per vehicle, 135 minutes each way, nothing charged to reserve.
Pick your day length and vehicle. The price is the whole vehicle, 13% HST included — never per person. Nothing is charged to reserve.
We'll confirm by email within one business day. Nothing has been charged.
A private tour — the driver waits at every stop, so the day runs on your clock, from pickup in Oshawa to the soaking at the foot of the Horseshoe aboard Niagara City Cruises.
Your chauffeur collects you at your Oshawa address and stows your bags — you travel together, so there's no parking to find at the busiest attraction in Ontario.
About 135 minutes down the QEW and onto the Niagara Parkway, arriving at Table Rock above the Horseshoe Falls.
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.
The ~20-minute sail carries you past the American Falls to the thundering basin of the Horseshoe — ponchos on, the real reason you came.
Dry off, and the same chauffeur returns you to Oshawa — no traffic stress, no post-soak drive.
There's a rhythm to leaving Oshawa for the Falls — the driveway pickup in a quiet Windfields or Samac cul-de-sac, the wave from the porch, the kids already asking how long. We gather couples, families, and Ontario Tech visitors from wherever suits: a downtown Oshawa condo near the Tribute Communities Centre, the campus up on Simcoe Street North, or the Costco lot off Stevenson Road. In a city built around General Motors and the assembly line, handing the highway to someone else feels like exactly the right call.
The drive runs about 135 minutes and 175 kilometres each way, and Durham travellers have a smarter line than the obvious grind straight west. Instead of crawling the 401 through Toronto, we slip onto the 412 toll link at Whitby and ride the 407 across the top of the GTA. From there it's a quick drop to the QEW and a lakeside run into Niagara, brake lights traded for the rising escarpment and vineyards.
At the Falls we stay strictly on the Canadian side — no border, no passports, no Maid of the Mist across the river, and no ticket ever sold by us. You buy your own admission at the gate for Niagara City Cruises, about CA$48 plus HST, and we simply wait while the twenty-minute Voyage soaks you at the Horseshoe. The nightly illumination and seasonal fireworks are free public shows, and your Oshawa day is flat per vehicle: Sedan $580, SUV $820, Van $1,240 for six hours, HST in, no deposit.
The rate covers the car, the chauffeur, the fuel and the waiting time. Attraction admissions and meals are bought at each gate, so you only pay for what you choose. Nothing is charged to reserve.

Prices are flat per vehicle with 13% HST included. Zone A base rates from the GTA; longer distances or bespoke itineraries quoted the same honest way. Transport only — Canadian side.
About 135 minutes each way (175 km) via the QEW and Niagara Parkway, traffic depending. Your chauffeur tracks conditions and times the pickup so you arrive relaxed.
Yes — any Oshawa address: home, hotel, office or a specific landmark. Door-to-door both ways, with no extra charge for the pickup within the area.
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.
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.
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.
Per vehicle. One flat rate covers the whole car with 13% HST included — the boat ticket is separate and paid at the gate.
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.
