Journey Behind the Falls

Journey consists of an observation platform and series of tunnels near the bottom of the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian shore of the Niagara River.

The two tunnels extend approximately 46 metres (151 ft) behind the waterfall and allow visitors to view water cascading in front of the open cave entrances.

However, the ongoing erosion of the gorge left these areas with insufficient rock remaining on the sides, and new tunnels were built further back.

The observation deck provides a vantage point looking up with the falls to the right, allowing photographers a full view of the famous landmark.
