What To Expect
The ‘Maid Of The Mist’ is a world-famous boat ride that began operation in 1846! During your ride you will get up close to all 3 waterfalls; firstly the American falls, then the Bridal Veil falls and finally the Canadian Horse-Shoe falls. During this unforgettable experience, the mist from the thundering waterfalls showers you! Waterproof ponchos will be available for everyone.
Cave of the Winds
This experience is only available on the American side of the falls! During this adventure you will walk through a small interactive museum followed by a thrilling cinema-like experience about Nikola Tesla and his groundbreaking invention, using the water from the falls to generate electricity- a method still used today! After this comes the serious fun; after poncho-ing up yet again, you will walk on a wooden deck right under the Bridal Veil falls, which is re-built every year. This is the only place where you can actually touch the water from the falls. Not only is the feel of the water cooling, but the view is indescribable! But there’s more! You’ll then make your way to the hurricane deck where you can experience 60,000 gallons of water thundering down over you (if you wish)!

5.00Wonderful tour with Scott, a retired local journalist. He was knowledgeable and very helpful. The pickup was as ordered, and only 5 people in all on the tour.
Wonderful trip and tour guide

5.00It was a wonderful experience! Very convenient to be picked up/dropped off from our Vrbo and nice not to have to figure out our way around. It was nice getting around lines with the tour guide for the attractions at Niagra, although it wasn't extremely busy. Cave of the Winds is something to experience! As was Maid in the Mist. Bring extra shoes or just wear sandals because you will get wet. I picked this tour because it said small group and it ended up being just my family, which was incredible. Our tour guide Lauren was the best! She was very personable and very nice. She answered any questions we had and we had so much fun with her. 3 hours goes quick, I think 4 hours would be optimal. If it was super busy, I feel 3 hours might not be enough time. Best time of year to go. We had beautiful weather and it was comfortable. I'm not one to usually spend over the basics but I thought the extra cost made the day worth it. Would definitely recommend.
Great time!

5.00Our experience with The Daily Trips at Niagara Falls was absolutely amazing! The Maid of the Mist boat ride brought us so close to the falls — we could feel the power and mist all around us! The Cave of the Winds was another incredible highlight, walking right next to the rushing water was unforgettable. Thank you, Mike, our wonderful tour guide, for making the trip so fun and memorable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Niagara Falls! -Chayapa & family-

5.00We had a wonderful tour with Daily Tours. Mike our guide was awesome-very knowledgeable, friendly, and shared great stories along the way. This tour is a perfect way to see the whole area in just 3 hours. It was nice not to have to worry about driving from place to place and making sure we would see it all. Daily Tours and Mike covers it perfectly. I also like the fact that this tour allows a max of 8 people at a time. Highly recommend this tour and Mike!

5.00This was our first trip to the NY side of the Falls, and my family and I loved our tour by Mike with The Daily Trips. We connected with him easily at the start of the tour, enjoyed the info and stories he shared as we made our way through the entire park, and enjoyed the Cave of the Winds and Maid of Mist with very little wait. Friendly and knowledgeable, he offered tips on where to stand on the boat and even snapped pictures of our family as we headed out on the Maid of the Mist. My husband and I talked about whether it was worth booking a tour vs. sightseeing on our own, and concluded we would 100% book this tour again. Thanks for a great afternoon, Mike!
