Hamilton Autumn Waterfall and Lookout Tour

Celebrate autumn with a journey into Hamilton—the “Waterfall Capital of the World”—at its most colorful time of year. On this small-group tour (max 14 passengers), you’ll see three of the region’s most iconic cascades framed by brilliant fall foliage. Begin with Tew Falls & Dundas Lookout, where rushing waters meet sweeping views of the Niagara Escarpment painted in red, orange, and gold. Continue to Sherman Falls, a peaceful forest gem, before visiting Tiffany Falls, a favourite spot for photos in every season but especially magical in autumn.
Midday, enjoy a relaxed lunch stop at RioCan University Plaza, with a choice of quick-service restaurants or the option to bring your own picnic. With round-trip transportation, curated waterfall stops, and peak-season scenery, this is one of the easiest and most rewarding day trips from Toronto for fall colours and natural beauty.
