Tour Highlights

Niagara-On-The-Lake Icewine Festival

Niagara-On-The-Lake is transformed into a wintery wonderland, celebrating one of Canada’s most cherished products, Ontario Icewine. Oh, and it's not just icewine... you can sample lots of other wines and foods too.

Participating wineries will have their tents set up along Queen St. There will be ice carving demonstrations and musical accompaniment. And of course all the merchants will be open to allow you to browse the quaint boutiques, stores and cafes. 

Check out the cheese shop, the year round Christmas store and the gelato store. Gelato in January? Why not?! :-) ​
Queen Street in Niagara-On-The-Lake transforms itself into a winter wonderland as the town comes together for their annual celebration if icewine. Now in it's 23rd year, over 25 wineries from Niagara Region will be there to entice you with their icewines (and other wines too) and signature chefs will tempt you with icewine inspired culinary creations. Admire the the ice carvers create their amazing sculptures, listen to music and when you get cold, pop into any of the many restaurants and cafes to warm up a hot chocolate or perhaps something even stronger. 

Please note that tokens are required to sample wines and foods. Tokens are not included in the tour price, they can be purchased on site.

Niagara Bird Kingdom

As soon as you enter the Bird Kingdom you are transported to a tropical rainforest with 400 birds flying free in 50,000 sq. feet of rainforest featuring a 40 ft. waterfall!

Also get up close and personal with animals and reptiles from around the world. The Bird Kingdom also contains the only original Javanese House in North America, a 125-year-old nobleman's house from the island of Java.

​And don't forget to visit the night jungle where it's light at night and dark at day, featuring bats, owls and nocturnal animals. 

We will also be getting a private interactive presentation from Bird Kingdom staff and getting up close and personal with some of their birds.

Clifton Hill

After the visit to the Bird Kingdom, you will have some free time to visit the buzzing and active Clifton Hill. Museums, restaurants, fast food outlets, coffee shops, arcades, gift shops and of course the Niagara Skywheel. 

Niagara Festival Of Lights

After the free time on Clifton Hill and as darkness falls, we will finish off our day with a gentle drive along the Niagara Parkway to see the beautiful and creative light displays of the Niagara Festival of Lights.
