You must be 10+ years old, weigh 70–250 lbs., and cannot be pregnant to participate in the zipline tours.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes and closed-toe shoes. Skip sandals, heels, and dangling jewelry, and tie back long hair. If you’re bringing a GoPro, it needs to be secured to the approved helmet mount — smartphones aren’t allowed for filming during the ride.

So, is Sonoma ziplining beginner-friendly? Yes. But if you’re looking for more height, speed, and longer runs, the Tree Tops Tour takes the adventure up a notch.

WHICH NIAGARA EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOU?🤔

☀️ Day Tour

Best for first-time visitors, families, and travelers who want to experience the Falls in natural daylight.

* See the Falls up close — Enjoy clear daytime views of the rushing water, mist, and surrounding landscape.
* Niagara City Cruises — During the operating season, the boat ride takes you close to the base of Horseshoe Falls.
* Explore during daylight — Great for sightseeing, taking photos, and getting a better sense of the scale of the Falls.
* Best for first-timers — The daytime experience gives you a great introduction to Niagara Falls.

🌙 Night Tour

Best for couples, photographers, repeat visitors, and anyone who wants to experience a different side of Niagara Falls.

* See the Falls illuminated — After dusk, the Falls are lit with colourful lights, creating a completely different atmosphere.
* Enjoy nighttime views — The illuminated Falls, mist, and surrounding lights create unique photo opportunities.
* Possible fireworks — During scheduled fireworks periods, visitors may have the opportunity to see fireworks over the Falls.
* A different experience — Especially worthwhile if you’ve already experienced Niagara during the day.

☀️🌙 Do Both

If you have the time, doing both is the best way to experience Niagara Falls.

* Daytime — See the natural beauty and power of the Falls.
* Nighttime — Watch the Falls transform under the colourful lights.
* Two completely different atmospheres — One destination, two memorable experiences.
* More time to explore — You won’t have to choose between the daytime views and nighttime illumination.

I love both!! Niagara Falls is beautiful during the day, but seeing it light up after dark is an experience of its own.

🌊 3 FUN FACTS ABOUT NIAGARA FALLS!

💦 It’s actually three waterfalls — Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls.

⚡ Its water helps generate electricity — the Niagara River has been harnessed for hydroelectric power in both Canada and the U.S.

🧊 Niagara Falls formed about 12,500 years ago as glaciers from the last Ice Age retreated and meltwater carved the Niagara River and Falls.
