The Falls Fireworks Cruise provides a 40-minute ride filled with panoramic views, starry skies, beautiful illuminations, and epic fireworks. Welcome 716 put together the top reasons to visit Hornblower Niagara Cruises this Summer.

You Will Create Memories with Your Friends and Family

Getting everyone together on a boat is a great way to catch up, and you will have plenty to talk about as you take in all the sights and sounds of Niagara Falls. Your kids will never forget the way the falls roared, how the fireworks lit up the sky, and what it felt like to get sprayed in the face by the mist. Imagine laughing together about how funny your uncle looks in a poncho, or enjoying a kiss from your partner under the stars. These are the kinds of moments that we all live for!

You Will Take Home Plenty of Epic Photographs

From the flora and fauna that runs along the Niagara River Gorge to the falls decked out in colors at night, all you will need to worry about is making sure you bring along a full battery! Only handheld cameras are allowed at this time, so it’s a good thing a smartphone is all you need.
