Your day, step by step

Your boat tour from Richmond Hill

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

  2. 02

    The drive down

    A 110-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 Richmond Hill, no wet drive, no wrong-side-of-the-border detour.

Table Rock day trips, door-to-door from Richmond Hill

Your driver meets you where Richmond Hill actually gathers — a driveway off Yonge Street, a condo lobby up in Oak Ridges near Lake Wilcox, or anywhere along the Bayview corridor. From here it is about 110 minutes and 150 km to the falls. We slip down Highway 404, then swing west onto the 407 ETR to dodge the 401 crush through the city, and drop to the QEW for the run along the lake into Niagara. One flat fare per vehicle, 13% HST already in — no per-person maths, no deposit.

At the gorge we park and wait while you walk down to Table Rock and buy your own tickets at the gate for Niagara City Cruises — the Canadian-side boat, roughly CA$48 plus HST, no passport needed. The ~20-minute Voyage to the Falls noses right under the Horseshoe, so plan to get genuinely soaked. We never cross to the US-side Maid of the Mist and never sell you a ticket; the admission and the timing stay entirely in your hands.

Richmond Hill grew up around the David Dunlap Observatory, so plenty of families here already know the pull of a good night sky. Stay past dusk and the falls light up for free — the illumination runs nightly, year-round, with fireworks over the gorge around 10 PM on summer evenings and special dates. Sedan runs CA$580, SUV CA$820, the van CA$1,240 for a six-hour day, flat per vehicle. Fold two Bayview-corridor families or a corporate team into one van and the day plans itself.

Straight answers

Richmond Hill → Niagara: your questions

How long is the drive from Richmond Hill to Niagara Falls?

About 110 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 Richmond Hill?

Yes — any Richmond Hill 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.
