Your day, step by step

Your boat tour from Pickering

A private tour — the driver waits at every stop, so the day runs on your clock, from pickup in Pickering 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 Pickering 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 108 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 Pickering — no traffic stress, no post-soak drive.

From Pickering to the Horseshoe — waterfront to waterfront

Pickering runs on the 401, and every regular knows the collector-express shuffle west of the Rouge that can turn a clear map into a crawl. So we take the wheel: your chauffeur is waiting outside Pickering Town Centre, or down at the Frenchman's Bay waterfront by the Nautical Village, before you've finished your coffee. From there it's the 407 bypass or the QEW around Toronto — roughly 108 minutes and 150 km, one unbroken ride with no merge-and-brake and no parking hunt at the far end.

Families from Amberlea and Rougemount, couples marking an anniversary, and corporate crews staging near the 401 all book this run to trade Lake Ontario's shoreline for the Niagara gorge. We stay strictly on the Canadian side — no border, no passport, never a detour to the American Maid of the Mist. Your car parks at Table Rock and waits, and you buy your own Niagara City Cruises boarding at the gate — about CA$48 plus HST for the soaked 20-minute Voyage to the Falls.

Time it for dusk and the free public shows do the rest — the falls glow in colour every night of the year, and seasonal fireworks burst over the Horseshoe around 10 PM. Your fare stays flat per vehicle with the 13% HST already inside, no deposit, and nothing charged per head — Sedan CA$580, SUV CA$820, or Van CA$1,240 for the six-hour day, whether two ride or six. Then it's a quiet ride back east to Pickering, well fed and thoroughly misted, while someone else minds the 401.

Straight answers

Pickering → Niagara: your questions

How long is the drive from Pickering to Niagara Falls?

About 108 minutes each way (150 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 Pickering?

Yes — any Pickering 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.
