Your day, step by step

Your boat tour from Etobicoke

A private tour — the driver waits at every stop, so the day runs on your clock, from pickup in Etobicoke to the drenching at the base of the Horseshoe on the Canadian-side boat.

  1. 01

    Door-to-door pickup

    Your chauffeur meets you at your Etobicoke address — no border, no passport, no US-side parking. The Canadian side gives you the identical boat experience.

  2. 02

    The drive down

    A 80-minute run to Table Rock, where you get the decision straight: the US-side Maid of the Mist and the Canadian-side Niagara City Cruises are the same base-of-the-Horseshoe soak — you ride the Canadian one.

  3. 03

    Board the boat

    Niagara City Cruises boards below Table Rock. You buy the ~CA$48 ticket at the gate; the driver holds the vehicle and your bags.

  4. 04

    Voyage to the Falls

    The ~20-minute sail runs past the American Falls into the Horseshoe's spray — the shot everyone knows, from the Canadian shore.

  5. 05

    The ride home

    The same chauffeur returns you to Etobicoke, no wet drive, no wrong-side-of-the-border detour.

Pickup from Etobicoke · Toronto

Etobicoke to the Canadian-side boat, straight down the lake

From Etobicoke the drive to Niagara is refreshingly linear: your chauffeur picks up the QEW where the Gardiner ends and follows the lakeshore southwest — no 401 merge, no 407 toll gamble. We meet you door-to-door in the Kingsway, Mimico or Islington–City Centre, and the run to Table Rock covers roughly 108 km in about 80 minutes each way. It stays the same shoreline highway the whole route, which is why departures from this corner of west Toronto run so predictably.

We stay Canadian-side, always — we never drive to the US shore or cross the border, so no passport rides in the glovebox. At Table Rock you buy your own tickets at the gate for Niagara City Cruises (about CA$48 plus HST), the roughly 20-minute Voyage to the Falls that carries you into the Horseshoe's mist and leaves you soaked. That is the Canadian counterpart to the American Maid of the Mist, and it is the one we bring Etobicoke guests to; we transport and wait, we never sell the ticket.

Kingsway families, Humber Bay condo couples and corporate teams booking straight off a Pearson landing all travel this way. Pricing is flat per vehicle with 13% HST already inside — Sedan CA$580, SUV CA$820, Van CA$1,240 for a six-hour day — never per person and never a deposit. Time it for dusk: the nightly falls illumination and the seasonal ~10 PM fireworks are free public shows you watch from the rail before the quiet ride home to Etobicoke.

Straight answers

Etobicoke → Niagara: your questions

How long is the drive from Etobicoke to Niagara Falls?

About 80 minutes each way (108 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 Etobicoke?

Yes — any Etobicoke 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.
