Your day, step by step

Your boat tour from Newmarket

A private tour — the driver waits at every stop, so the day runs on your clock, from pickup in Newmarket 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 Newmarket address — no border, no passport, no US-side parking. The Canadian side gives you the identical boat experience.

  2. 02

    The drive down

    A 118-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 Newmarket, no wet drive, no wrong-side-of-the-border detour.

Newmarket to the Niagara boat, door to door

Most Newmarket runs start at Upper Canada Mall on Yonge or along the Davis Drive corridor, though our chauffeur will gladly meet you at a Main Street South storefront near Riverwalk Commons. Families fill the weekend departures; couples and small corporate groups from the Yonge-and-Mulock office parks tend to book quieter weekday slots. Give us a Glenway crescent, a Stonehaven driveway, or a condo by the Newmarket GO — we come to the door and the Niagara run is already sorted.

From here the fastest line south is Highway 404 down to the 407, then a westward swing onto the QEW toward Niagara. Figure about 118 minutes and 155 km each way, longer when the 404 stacks up past Aurora and Newmarket at rush hour. We stay entirely on the Canadian side: no border, no US crossing, no drive to the American Maid of the Mist dock, and at Table Rock we simply park and wait.

The Canadian-side boat is Niagara City Cruises, boarding below Table Rock for the roughly 20-minute Voyage to the Falls, where the Horseshoe soaks everyone aboard. You buy your own tickets at the gate — about CA$48 plus HST, no passport needed — while we wait, then catch the free nightly falls illumination and seasonal 10 PM fireworks before heading back to Newmarket. Our price is flat per vehicle with 13% HST already in: Sedan CA$580, SUV CA$820, Van CA$1,240 for a six-hour day, never per person and no deposit.

Straight answers

Newmarket → Niagara: your questions

How long is the drive from Newmarket to Niagara Falls?

About 118 minutes each way (155 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 Newmarket?

Yes — any Newmarket 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.
