Niagara Falls is an incredible sight from land and by boat, but at Journey Behind the Falls visitors who wish to truly experience its massive power can get up close and personal—and wet. Standing on an observation deck behind the falls, where more than one million bathtubs of water thunder over the edge every second, is a truly unforgettable experience of Niagara.

Wonderful Trip.
We really enjoyed the excursion. The driver was very friendly and informative. The trip behind the waterfall was a waste of money, definitely not worth the time. The driver was very trustworthy in the heavy traffic, we felt very safe. Would have appreciated having the inside window clean.
