The iconic Maid of the Mist is every bit exciting as you could possibly imagine! Water rushes all around as you “soak” in the excitement and explore the roar of the Falls. A historical ride aboard the world-famous Maid of the Mist is a half hour thrill of a lifetime! North America’s oldest tourist attraction, millions of visitors have enjoyed the boat tours since 1846. Maid of the Mist boats will take you from the docks past the base of the American Falls, then into the basin of the magnificent Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

It’s been almost 25 years since I took this boat tour to see the falls. I visited here in the summer of 2001. The beautiful view of Niagara Falls from the boat, and the refreshing sensation of the mist splashing against my face... those memories remain truly beautiful.

This was one of the most notable events in our NY trip! The Maid of the Mist- although expensive- was a bucket list experience that takes you into the falls! It provides an opportunity to take tons of pictures, but be prepared to get soaked as they take you very, very close to the falls.

子供連れで行きました!エレベーターもあるのでベビーカー移動もOK🙆‍♀️ベビーカーも船内に置いておける場所がありますが、カバーしておかないと濡れるので注意。
ポンチョはイベント時に色が変わるので、そう言う時はレアでいい。
ここまで滝のそばに行ける体験ができるのは子供達にとっても忘れられない経験になりました✨また来たら、また乗りたいです!

Amazing experience! The Maid of the Mist tour brings you right up to Niagara Falls for incredible views and an exhilarating soak. The crew is great, and the mist adds to the thrill. A must-do at Niagara!
