Journey Behind the Falls The waterfall from the tunnelJourney Behind the Falls is an attraction in Niagara Falls, Ontario located in the Table Rock House Plaza beside the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. It is open year round and run by the Niagara Parks Commission. 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 tunnels and platform can be reached by elevators from the street level entrance. The tour is unguided and visitors have the option of using radios to receive facts and information broadcast into the tunnels. The two tunnels extend approximately 46 meters behind the waterfall and allow visitors to view water cascading in front of the open cave entrances. Earlier in the attraction's history visitors were permitted far closer to the portals' edge to view a perspective to the sides and below the falling water. Barricades now exist further back from the ledge at the end of the tunnels to ensure visitor safety. The observation deck provides a vantage point looking up with the falls to the right, allowing photographers a full view of the famous landmark. The deck is sprayed with water from the cascade so visitors are provided with plastic raincoats prior to their descent.   2006 Travel-Niagara-Falls.com
