Itinerary

  1. Stop 1 · 45 min

    The ‘Maid Of The Mist’ is a world-famous boat ride that began operation in 1846! During your ride you will get up close to all 3 waterfalls; firstly the American falls, then the Bridal Veil falls and finally the Canadian Horse-Shoe falls. During this unforgettable experience, the mist from the thundering waterfalls showers you! Waterproof ponchos will be available for everyone.

  2. Cave of the Winds · 45 min

    This experience is only available on the American side of the falls! During this adventure you will walk through a small interactive museum followed by a thrilling cinema-like experience about Nikola Tesla and his groundbreaking invention, using the water from the falls to generate electricity- a method still used today! After this comes the serious fun; after poncho-ing up yet again, you will walk on a wooden deck right under the Bridal Veil falls, which is re-built every year. This is the only place where you can actually touch the water from the falls. Not only is the feel of the water cooling, but the view is indescribable! But there’s more! You’ll then make your way to the hurricane deck where you can experience 60,000 gallons of water thundering down over you (if you wish)!

  3. Horseshoe Falls · 15 min

    An unbelievable view of the Canadian Horseshoe falls from right next to it. Watch from above how the powerful stream of flowing water suddenly thunders down the falls and creates enough mist to see from a mile away!

  4. Bridal Veil Falls · 15 min

    Your guide will walk you down to Luna Island to see the Bridal Veil falls and American falls up close, all the while providing you with interesting and exciting information about the history of the falls and details of nature of the falls.

  5. Nikola Tesla Monument · pass by

    Your guide will escort you to see the man himself- in statue form of course. Learn about his genius groundbreaking work that we all still experience the benefits of, 70 years on!

  6. Goat Island · 15 min

    Your guide will drive you down to Goat Island where you will then take a short walk to Terrapin Point to view the majestic Canadian Horse-Shoe falls from closer than you can imagine!

  7. Niagara Falls Observation Tower · 15 min

    After taking in the surreal view of the falls from the Maid Of The Mist boat ride, you’ll take an elevator up to the Observation Deck which gives you a different, elevated look over the falls. Pictures taken from this spot are epic!
