Cross the border into Canada and experience the grandiosity of Niagara Falls which is collectively made up of the Horseshoe Falls, America Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls. With six million cubic feet of water flowing over the crest, and down a 165-foot drop, it’s no wonder the falls were named a Natural Wonder of the world. Hop aboard the Voyage to the Falls and journey close to the break of the falls while feeling the mist engulf the boat. Take in the amazing scenery in the Niagara Gorge on the 1,500 horsepower Whirlpool Jetboat. Hold on tight through a head-spinning 360° Hamilton turn. Finally, end the day marveling at the spectacle of the falls.

After lunch in Canada’s Capital of Ottawa, head to the resort town of Mont-Tremblant located in the Laurentian Mountains. Stroll through the pedestrian village and get swept away by the festive atmosphere that will remind you of a European village. Learn to waterski or wakeboard on Lake Tremblant.

Clip into the Via Ferrata (Iron Way), a network of steel cables that run the length of a mountain face and cross built-in steps, handles, beams and bridges while you are struck by spectacular views of this national park. The adventure keeps coming at you as we whitewater raft through some Canadian rapids on the roaring Rouge River.
