A Must-Do at Niagara Falls — Invigorating and Unforgettable!

The Maid of the Mist was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip.
The ride itself is breathtaking — there’s nothing quite like getting right up close to Niagara Falls and feeling the thunder of the water all around you. The mist coming off the falls was so invigorating and refreshing — it hits you like a cool blast of pure energy. You can’t help but laugh and smile as you get soaked (don’t worry, the ponchos help… a little!).

It’s one of those experiences that makes you feel alive and in awe of nature’s power. We snapped some photos but the best part was just standing there, feeling the mist on your face and watching everyone else light up with the same joy.

If you’re visiting Niagara Falls, do not skip this. It’s worth every penny and I’d hop on that boat again tomorrow if I could!

Very cool. But you can get drenched when the boat gets close to the waterfall. Very well organized although there was a very big crowd.

Fantastic experience. Its about a 20 minute ride but it's a great experience. Wear water proof shoes so you're feet are not soaked the rest of day.
