Journey Behind the Falls
'Journey behind the Falls' is the best way, in my humble opinion, to appreciate the Falls. The sheer volume of water crashing down just a few feet in front of you is something i don't think you will soon forget. This is a must see for my visitors any time of the year.
Niagara Parks Commission first decided to evacuate a tunnel well behind the Falls in 1889. Guides led visitors through the tunnels with lanterns.
In 1951 an observation plaza was built at the end of the old tunnel
2 elevators descend 125 ft, to a 46 meter (150 ft) tunnel burrowed behind the thundering curtain of Niagara Falls. You can walk to within 10 ft of the tunnels end - there's water spraying everywhere. It's quite a memorable sight. And the raincoats you are provided are really needed when you 'Journey behind the Falls'.
Insider Tip- Hang on to the raincoat when your tour is over. You will need it if you want to go and stand at the brink of the Falls. Depending on the direction of the wind, there can be a heavy mist.
