A great "must see/do" while visiting Niagara Falls. We hardly had to wait in line which made the ride much more enjoyable. Plan on getting a bit wet but not as much as Cave of the Winds.

The Maid of the Mist will be the highlight of your vacation. Absolutely unbelievable to be right at the foot of the falls watching the water flowing down toward you!
Well worth the $ and time for this trip!

This will undoubtedly be the highlight of your trip to this area. It was one of those family moments that you will all share and never forget! If you don't like getting wet or having water in your face, then this is probably NOT for you. But let me say, first of all for the money, it is a good value. The ...

this boat ride was amazing it took you right into the horseshoe falls. it was a great experience and i recommend it to everyone who goes there!!!

Last July I went back and finally took my first trip on the boat.
It is a amazing experience and I highly recommend that everyone do this at least once. Cannot wait until I go back and do it again!

GREAT! We left from the US side and the trip was fantastic! The boat was full, but we had a great spot on the top deck right up front! We got just a little wet!
