Your day, step by step

Your boat tour from Vaughan

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

  2. 02

    The drive down

    A 105-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 Vaughan, no wet drive, no wrong-side-of-the-border detour.

Niagara boat-tour pickups from Vaughan, door to door

Most Vaughan runs start at one of three spots: the Vaughan Mills ring road, a Woodbridge address off Market Lane, or the VMC — the Line 1 subway terminus where visiting family can arrive without a car. From there we point the vehicle down Highway 400, then cut across the 407 ETR to skip the QEW crawl through Burlington. It's roughly 140 km and about 105 minutes to Table Rock. Woodbridge families and Kleinburg couples make up most of our bookings; corporate groups near Highway 7 tend to take the Van.

We stay entirely on the Canadian side — no border, no passport, no drive over to the US Maid of the Mist. Your chauffeur pulls up near Table Rock, and while you walk down to Niagara City Cruises we hold the vehicle and wait. You buy your own boat admission at the gate (about CA$48 plus HST); we never sell tickets. The 20-minute Voyage to the Falls carries you into the Horseshoe's spray, so pack a change for the kids — everyone gets soaked, red poncho and all.

After the boat, the falls are lit every night of the year, and in season the fireworks burst over the gorge around 10 PM — both are free public shows, no ticket needed. That's what makes an evening Vaughan run genuinely worth the drive back up the 400. Pricing is flat per vehicle, 13% HST already in, never per person and no deposit: Sedan CA$580, SUV CA$820, Van CA$1,240 for a six-hour day. Call (000) 000-0000 to lock your Vaughan pickup.

Straight answers

Vaughan → Niagara: your questions

How long is the drive from Vaughan to Niagara Falls?

About 105 minutes each way (140 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 Vaughan?

Yes — any Vaughan 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.
