Canada · OBSERVATION DECKS
A shortlist to send to whoever is planning: 6 observation deck tickets that hold up, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the thing to know before you commit.
Ride Skylon Tower in a Yellow-Bug elevator for 360° Niagara Falls views from 236 m, with optional night illumination and seasonal fireworks.
“Johnnie D our guide was great! Lots of experience. He was full of knowledge and made sure to keep the group together.”
Ride Niagara Falls in a 52-second glass elevator, then enjoy deck views from 775 feet up, with night lights and fireworks.
“Beautiful views. Very friendly staff. Service dogs allowed and well accommodate. We visited during the day.”
Black bear watching near Tadoussac with an expert guide, a secure forest post, and real lessons on bear behavior in Quebec.
“Mycket bra tur och en väldigt trevlig guide. Han förstod engelska bra och var mycket kunnig och hjälpsam. Vi hade turen och fick se en björn och den var framme en lång stund.”
Tadoussac whale watching in Saguenay Fjord plus a dusk black bear tour at Ferme 5 Étoiles. Bilingual guides, whale guarantee.
“Great, we saw a lot of seals, including a beluga whale and two minke whales. It was a fantastic experience. The guide shared a lot of info and was super friendly. When we were watching the bears, the guide got us really pumped for the bear tour, and he was pretty funny. We got to watch a bear for a long time. It was totally worth it But we could have saved ourselves the visit to the 5-star farm. You can hardly see any animals, some cages are empty.”
A 5-hour St. Lawrence cruise from Berthier-sur-Mer to spot Alca Torda Razorbill penguins with ornithologists onboard.
See Horseshoe and U.S. Falls from the Niagara Falls Tower Observatory, with interactive exhibits and a 5-hour ticket window in Fallsview.
“Gorgeous views, upsetting that we were unable to see fireworks due to being after the holiday which put a damper on the price. Though it was a great experience watching the light effects!!”
Six time zones of days out, sorted by the kind of day.
