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.
Niagara Falls Observation Tower
After taking in the surreal view of the falls from the Maid Of The Mist boat ride, you’ll take an elevator up to the Observation Deck which gives you a different, elevated look over the falls. Pictures taken from this spot are epic!

A stellar experience despite cold and rain

5.00Wow! A stunning experience and definitely a must-see on the bucket list. We were so lucky to have Mike with The Daily Trips as our guide who was stellar all around. He was outstanding in communication, provided clear directions regarding the meeting point well in advance, and had a clean and comfy van to drive us from point to point which we greatly appreciated in the cold and rain. Mike's passion for the area and his knowledge went beyond our expectations which made the tour truly memorable. If you want a fun, unique, and joyful experience, book with Mike at The Daily Trips!
Perfect tour!

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!

5.00Mike was our tour guide and he was wonderful! We learned so much on this tour about Nikola Tesla, how the Falls were created and how they move and so many other things. We were traveling with a 10 year old and even he stayed engaged and excited about everything we saw. I would say this tour is definitely worth the money. I also recommend returning to the falls at night to see them lit up in different colors. It’s stunning (I attached a picture)!
Great experience with guided walking tour with Mike from The Daily Trips

5.00Great experience for first time to The Falls. Our tour guide Mike with The Daily Trips was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. This is a walking tour, if you cannot walk briskly and follow directions of the tour guide, do not book! Poncho provided for Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds. Shoes somewhat wet on Maid of the Mist. Shoes will get SOAKED during Cave of the Winds. Worth the money for first-timers to the area, had we known the area and/or proficient with maps, we would not do a guided tour again as the individual tickets for the activities would have been half of what we paid. Parking is crazy! Expect to pay at least $20
