I had a great time on the tour! We first saw Niagara Falls from the observation points above and it was amazing to go near them and feel the water mist! There was even a rainbow! The walking tour was great, too! The hiking trails were beautiful and the historical landmarks were cool, making a great added bonus to the gorgeous boat view. I'd recommend this tour!
My wife and I booked this boat tour in Niagara Falls mainly for waterfall-watching, but the tour guide really enriched the experience. Justin taught us the entire history of Niagara Falls State Park and showed us all the best photo spots! He took a great picture of us in front of Horseshoe Falls while still on the boat.

RELAX ON A BEAUTIFUL BOAT RIDE
Board a modern, all-electric ship and sail to the Niagara Falls! As you float over the water, a light, refreshing mist will cover the water’s surface level, cooling you down. The mist is caused by the force of the waterfalls’ crashing waters. On a sunny day, when spray mixes with sunshine, you might even see a rainbow!
VIEW THE FAMOUS, POWERFUL FALLS UP CLOSE
The Niagara Falls Boat Tour casts off near the Observation Deck, sailing toward the waterfalls for a stunning view of Niagara Falls. Your first stop is the base of the American Falls, where you’ll see 188 feet (57 meters) of rushing water as the falls crash down to the river. Then, continue to the basin of Horseshoe Falls - the largest of Niagara Falls’ waterfalls, with roughly 90% of the Niagara River flowing over it.
EXPLORE NIAGARA FALLS' HIKING TRAILS
After the boat ride, you’ll see more scenic views - but on land. Your walking tour starts at Hennepin Rock, a historical marker built in memory of Louis Hennepin, who wrote the first description of Niagara Falls. From there, your guide will lead you to the Trolley Loop around Prospect Point. As you stroll, you’ll see lush greenery, powerful views, and many other historical landmarks. Relax, and take in the beautiful nature.
FINISH THE TOUR FULL OF MEMORIES

Did you know when the first Niagara Falls Boat Tour happened?
In 1846. Before then, only small boats braved the mighty Niagara Falls. However, entrepreneurs realized a larger ship would help transport cargo, mail, people, and luggage. So they built the first Maid of the Mist boat, making it large enough even to carry horses and a stagecoach. In 1846, the ship underwent its maiden voyage.
