Adventure is just a short drive away

Seeing Niagara Falls is an adventure in itself, but there’s plenty more to do and see at this natural wonder

Widely regarded as a natural wonder of the world, Niagara Fall in Ontario, Canada is absolutely breathtaking, and Janice Thomson, President and CEO of Niagara Falls Tourism says, viewing the beautiful falls can be done so in a variety of fun and adventurous ways.

“We have, for example, the ‘Journey Behind the Falls’, which you access via 125 foot elevator ride out onto tunnels and two outdoor viewing platforms.” Thomson said this is an incredible way to be close to the falls.

There’s also the “Niagara City Cruise” that takes guests right up to the bottom of the falls. You’re provided with a poncho, because it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll get wet, said Thomson.

For those a bit more adventurous there’s zip-lining. The activity offers not only a great view of the falls, but a thrilling ride. “You go 2,200 feet at speeds up to 40 mph. You see the view of the gorge wall, the Canadian and the American falls, it’s really exhilarating. They refer to that as ‘flight without feathers’,” said Thomson.

“Live in the D’s” April Morton paid a visit to the city and tried out all these cool adventures. To see April’s Niagara Falls adventures, click the video above.
