ABOUT US

Buffalo Boat Tours, a vibrant family-owned venture, stands at the forefront of Canalside following Buffalo’s spectacular waterfront metamorphosis.

We started our company in 2009 running tours and charters on the Spirit of Buffalo and have continually grown and expanded offerings ever since. We are passionate about delivering impeccable customer service and exceptional experiences on the water. We love sharing our rich, local history and waterways with our guests and welcome you aboard to experience Buffalo and Western New York in a whole new way.

We have three beautiful and unique vessels: Harbor Queen, Spirit of Buffalo, and Big Kahuna. Each is equipped with restrooms for your comfort. Our vessels all have full bars on board to enhance your experience. We offer refreshing water, sodas, beer, wine and enticing mixed drinks. Bagged snacks are also available for purchase. We accept cash and all major credit cards. Please note that outside beverages and food (including coolers) are not permitted onboard.

Locate convenient parking options on Lloyd Street, Hanover Street, and Prime Street in Canalside. Find lots under the Skyway along Pearl Street, Commercial Street, and Marine Drive, or utilize the LECOM Harborcenter parking ramp (parking fees may apply).

Great historic tour

"From beginning to the end of the tour Rich and his crew were awesome. The crew was courteous, friendly and willing to do anything to create a great experience for our family. The next time we are back in Buffalo we will most definitely return to Buffalo River History Tours for another experience."

Beautiful evening

"Eye-opening and informational insight to a piece of Buffalo History. Very relaxing as well as surprising "hidden" areas you normally would not see. Must do if visiting as well as people who have never experienced this part of history."
