5.00Absolutely amazing experience and adventure. Our guide Dale was fantastic and very funny. Small group on a mobday and around $135 for each, worth every penny. Everyone that knew Dale came by and said hi, told us how lucky we were to have him and how knowledgeable he was. The maid of the mist was cool, the bakery had yummy treats with wonderful recommendations from Dale. I really enjoyed the roast beef sandwich and the cannoli. Goat Island was a nice walk to the egde of the falls and then the the cave of winds. This was by far my favorite part, be prepared to get wet. We ended our tour at the horseshoe falls and had a moment to take it all in. When I come back I will definitely book here again and with Dale!
A close up the the power of the Falls.
