This is as close as anyone can get to Niagara Falls—without riding over them in a barrel, of course. This seasonal (May to October) tour travels to all the edges of the falls.

The journey begins with an elevator ride down into the Niagara Gorge, where wooden walkways along the Niagara River lead to the observation deck of the Cave of the Winds, just a few feet from the powerful rush of the falls. It’s like being caught in a tropical storm. This is what it means to be close to Niagara Falls. Really close.

Then it’s another elevator ride up to the only panoramic view of all three Niagara Falls—the American, Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls—from the observation tower. Stand over Niagara Gorge with an unobstructed view of all three as the waters rage below.

Finally, hop on board the popular Maid of the Mist for a boat ride to the very edge of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the most powerful waterfall in North America.

Notice: The Maid of the Mist departs from the U.S. side of Niagara Falls. All customers must have proper credentials to enter the United States.

Operating dates of the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds are approximate and depend on weather conditions.

Being close to the falls in the maid of the mist. The power of the falls is indescribable. Very interesting history of the area and what happened around the falls. Industry came and went, daredevils trying the various stunts.

First of all, I have to say that our tour guide, Christine Weber, was the absolute best! Her knowledge of all the history revolving around the falls was incredibly informative! Her smile and enthusiasm was infectious throughout the day! We were paired with many different people from around the globe. We may have boarded as strangers but by the time we parted, we were family! Thank you for a great time! I will definitely be recommending your company for tours in the future!

The maid by mist boat ride and Cave of the wind is the most unforgettable part of the tour. Marty is a fun guide and shares many interesting story of Niagara Falls. If I able to visit Niagara again, I'd like to try the both side tours.
