The Maid of the Mist

Before getting up close with the famous falls, enjoy a panoramic view of them from your buffet lunch table. Once fed and watered, you’ll board the famous Maid of the Mist. The ferry service that has been operating since 1846. It allows you to really feel the power of the falls by getting right up to the base of Horseshoe Falls. Experience the magic of the falls as the mist surrounds you!

The Maid of the Mist is typically operational during the warmer months (May until October). If you are visiting in the winter months, you will see the falls in a very different way by taking the Journey Behind the Falls. An elevator takes you behind the massive sheet of water. Hear the thunder of the Niagara Falls roar from 13 stories above you. With a 50 meter vertical drop, over 160,000 m³of water per minute cascades over the edge of the falls. It’s an extremely powerful natural spectacle.

The Horseshoe Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls

You will be able to view the falls from both the American and the Canadian sides; see the Horseshoe Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls. Snap loads of photos and decide which of the sides has the better view of the falls.

Eric’s Tip: Of course I’ve done this tour myself: all the pictures on this page are from this tour. It’s expensive, but I found it really worth the money! Niagara Falls is the largest tourist attraction in Canada which means that it can be crowded. I was there in April with good weather and hardly any people. If you have the possibility, do the trip on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday because it’s a lot quieter than during the weekend.
