About this experience
Your Niagara Falls USA tour starts with the unforgettable Maid of the Mist boat ride - an iconic experience that takes you right into the heart of the falls!
Before boarding, soak in sweeping views from the Prospect Point Observation Tower, perched high above the Niagara River.
Then, step aboard and cruise into the mist, where you’ll feel the thunder, see the falls up close, and get just the right amount of soaked.
After your boat ride, enjoy a scenic walk through Goat Island, where you'll pass landmarks like the inspiring Nikola Tesla Statue, the stunning overlook at Terrapin Point, and the powerful beauty of the American and Bridal Veil Falls.
Want to take it a step further? Add on Cave of the Winds for a thrilling up-close adventure beneath the falls themselves!
