Important note

In case of bad weather, the whale-watching cruise may be canceled due to force majeure. Accommodation in Niagara may be on the Canadian side. Depending on the passenger's nationality, a visa may be required to enter Canada from the United States. If you do not have the necessary documentation, your client may not be able to enter Canada, and any related expenses will be the sole responsibility of the passenger.
