What To Expect
Maid Of The Mist
The boat starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls. (Seasonal, May through October).
Cave of the Winds
An elevator takes you from the area between the American and Canadian Falls down to the level of the Niagara River at the base of the American Falls. A series of redwood decks and platforms allow sightseers to walk right up to the base of the Bridal Veil Falls with water crashing down right on them and flowing beneath the decking.

1.00The only positive aspect of this tour was that we were picked up from our hotel and the guide had our Maid of the Mist tickets. Beyond that, it was a complete letdown. The tour guide didn’t offer any information, commentary, or guidance — she simply dropped us off at various viewpoints without saying a word. We could have done the exact same thing on our own for a fraction of the price. Unless you need someone to physically hand you a ticket and want to pay $100 for something that costs $25, save your money and skip this tour. Total waste of time and money.
