Your day, step by step

Your boat tour from Oakville

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

  2. 02

    The drive down

    A 66-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 Oakville, no wet drive, no wrong-side-of-the-border detour.

Pickup from Oakville · Halton

Door-to-door from Oakville to the Canadian-side boat

For a harbour town, Oakville treats the QEW like a private on-ramp to Niagara. We collect you wherever the day starts — a driveway off Lakeshore near Bronte Harbour, the shops along Kerr Village, or the platform at the Oakville GO station — then run the lake shore southwest through Burlington and Grimsby. It is roughly 66 minutes and 88 kilometres each way, no border, no toll gymnastics. Families, wine-country couples and corporate riders from the Trafalgar and Winston Churchill corridors all book this same easy Halton-to-Falls line.

We are transport only, and only ever on the Canadian side — we never drive to the US bank or cross the bridge. The chauffeur parks near Table Rock and waits while you walk down to Niagara City Cruises, the Canadian Maid-of-the-Mist experience. You buy your own admission at the gate (about CA$48 plus HST, no passport), ride the ~20-minute Voyage to the Falls, and get thoroughly soaked at the Horseshoe. We hold your dry layers, your bags and your table for the ride home to Oakville.

Pricing is flat per vehicle with 13% HST already in and no deposit: Sedan CA$580, SUV CA$820, Van CA$1,240 for a six-hour day — never per person. Time it for dusk and the free public shows are the bonus: the Falls are illuminated nightly year-round, with seasonal fireworks around 10 PM and on special dates, no ticket required. Oakville boaters already know the lake; this is the one afternoon the water comes at you. Call (000) 000-0000 to lock a date.

Straight answers

Oakville → Niagara: your questions

How long is the drive from Oakville to Niagara Falls?

About 66 minutes each way (88 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 Oakville?

Yes — any Oakville 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.
