Niagara Majestic Tours - Canada

July 11, 2008 - We started the tour early in the morning and boarded the bus. It was cloudy, and upon crossing the border, it started to rain. Our trip was rain or shine, so off we go. Our first stop was the Sir Adam Beck Hydro Power plant. For more than 4 decades, this is one of the largest hydroelectric facility of Ontario, and considered to be a natural,, non-polluting and reliable power source that has worked in harmony with the beauty of Niagara.

Then we proceeded to the most popular stop and a very unique attraction, the floral clock on Niagara Parkway. It also has an attractive feature - a 10-ft. wide water garden curving 85 feet around the base of the timepiece.

Then, we had a quick breakfast at Souvenir City, and at the same time did our early shopping souvenirs :).

The highlight of our tour was boarding the Maid of the Mist Boat Tour. Be sure to wear a comfortable clothing (don't wear any make up), and be prepared to get wet! LOL! You will be provided with a rain coat, so you won't be totally soaked!

We got the chance to get an awesome view of the falls by overlooking it through the top of Ramada Plaza on the 24th floor. Here, you can get as many photos and videos as you want, avoiding the crowd :).

Exploring Niagara Falls

We started the day going to Niagara Falls State Park (New York), which was just 20 minutes from our hotel. There are lots of parking spaces in front of the Gateway to The Falls Building but may be a little bit challenging to find a parking spot during the weekends. From the parking, it's a walking distance (about 5 minutes walk) going to the actual falls area. It is captivating.


At the other side of the falls is the Canada side, and only 25 miles away crossing the border.

Sharing you some of the photos while having fun at the falls. Plus some good shots of the beautiful sceneries.

Niagara Falls At Night

My trip to see Niagara Falls was memorable, the fact that I went with our church group and hubby of course!. There are so much more to be shared, but meantime, let me tell you that one of the highlights was watching the illumination of the falls at night.

We were in the observation deck which is on the US side (New York), and it was chilly up there. But bearing the cold windy atmosphere was worth it. The following night, we stationed ourselves at the Horeshoe Falls and waited for the fireworks. Although the wait was longer than the fireworks as expected, it was fun!
