🌈 Niagara Falls, Canada Long Weekend Getaway!
***** Important Note: You WILL need a valid passport for this trip *****
Waterfalls • Wine Country • Walkable Fun • No Planning Needed!
Ready to check something BIG off your bucket list? This unforgettable weekend getaway takes you to the breathtaking Niagara Falls – with just the right mix of iconic sights, relaxed exploring, and fun experiences along the way.
From the moment you hop on the bus, everything is taken care of so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey. Spend your evenings exploring the lively Clifton Hill, take in the Falls lit up at night, and experience them up close during the day. Whether you want to ride the famous Hornblower Niagara Cruises, walk behind the Falls, or simply enjoy the views, you’ll have the flexibility to do it your way.
We’ll be staying at the conveniently located Clifton Victoria Inn – right in the heart of the action and within easy walking distance to the Falls as well as many of Niagara Falls’ most popular attractions. Step outside and you’re just minutes from Clifton Hill’s restaurants, arcades, mini golf, shops, ice cream spots, and entertainment. The Falls themselves are an easy walk away, along with attractions like the SkyWheel, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Hershey’s Chocolate World, casinos, and nightly illuminated waterfall views. It’s the perfect location for exploring at your own pace without constantly needing transportation.
One of the highlights of the trip is an optional excursion visit to the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, where you can enjoy a group winery tour/tasting, boutique shopping, and a relaxed afternoon in one of the prettiest towns in Canada. (Must be purchased separately – see main page, below Niagara Falls).
This trip is designed to be easy, fun, and stress-free – with the perfect balance of planned experiences and free time. Whether you’re traveling with friends, a partner, your family, or just looking for a memorable getaway, this is one of those trips you’ll be talking about long after it’s over!
