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.

1.00SCAM. DO NOT BOOK. WILL SCREW YOU!! Spent $450 to take my family on this & they have little to no communication, didn't provide meeting location or communication with the tour guide before hand. NEVER GOT TO DO THE TRIP & THEY STILL CHARGED ME!!

5.00This was definitely a memorable experience and one I am happy to see and share with you. My guide picked me up right where I was to meet the transportation and he immediately got started on historic things I would see and tell me about the place and historic nature of the whole area. I enjoyed hearing native American history and how the evolution of time has made an impact on our whole country. The facts of how the Niagara Falls energy got started was something I won't forget, nor will I forget walking along the little islands that are in the state park. I was taken care of from start to finish, best part was I was the only person for the tour that day and it was not cancelled, like sometimes if the tour doesn't have enough people, they won't hold it. I had first class treatment and would definitely recommend. I also met another female who was a tour guide for the same company, and she was a delight to talk to as well. My day was special and I was dropped off at my hotel, was very happy I did the tour.
Fantastic time at the Falls!

5.00Emma was our fabulous guide. She was so knowledgeable and informative. Having grown up in the area, she was able to share bits of information that other guides may not know. I loved that it was a small group so it was easy to keep us all together and on time. The tour itself was quite an experience. Getting so close to the falls enables you to see and feel the sheer power of all that water.
Do it!!!

3.00Tour guide Howard was excellent and the tour was fabulous. However Seesight tour overbooked as usual and instead of having on intimate party we had to share with another which extended the time of the tour. This seems to be the norm with them.
Emma is the best!

5.00Emma was amazing. She is friendly and kind whole time. My husband and my son don’t like taking photos so we don’t have many family photos as I wish. She found beautiful spots and helped awesome family photos!!!!! Not only she helped family photos but also unforgettable memories and trip tips. Highly recommended

5.00This small group tour package was ideal, we had a great time at Niagara Falls. Our guide picked us up from the hotel and allowed us to quickly access all the spots on the site (tower, boat, wind cave...) it was a great facility for us. I highly recommend!
Awesome Tour

5.00I’m sorry but we forgot his name but he was wonderful and had a lot of knowledge. We had already seen a lot the day before so he didn’t have to take us everywhere. We had already seen great time. He was excellent and so easy to talk to.
