Emma KerrApril 25, 2016Best way to see the Falls up close. Get tickets ahead online for a fast experience, and wear sunglasses so that you can still see the Falls while getting soaked!
Pilgrim 🛣May 25, 2016I left SOMEWHAT wet, not bad at all and I was on the top deck. I was laughing the whole time with excitement. If you want to experience the falls, look no further.
Upvoted Sep 1- Joe NixonJuly 24, 2016It's great to get so close to the falls! You feel some spray but it's fine. A poncho is included in the price. There is a large & organised queueing system, but we didn't have to wait too long in May.
- Kian LaviAugust 30, 2019I remember going almost underneath the Falls with the Maid of the Mist, but that could've been my 11-year old brain remembering things weirdly. Hornblower was great, efficient, and the tour was lovely
Ayaz HyderSeptember 19, 2017The best way to experience Niagara Falls. Never gets old. Purchase the whole adventure pass if you have time for the multiple activities.
Dee SepulvedaAugust 4, 2016If you are here, is a must. Get wet with the falls and take some awesome selfies to show your friends how an amazing place Niagara is and how sucky for them is to be at the office.
Khristina QuimodJuly 13, 2016It's absolutely beautiful, I suggest to all to go do it. Though I may suggest bringing sunglasses because you will get soaked
David WolderJune 3, 2016Great view of the falls from below. You WILL get wet (unless you stay inside on the boat, but what fun is that?!?)- Kevin VincentSeptember 28, 2016Best way to get up close and personal with the falls. Be sure to cover cameras and other electronics properly there's usually alot of spraying water.
- Caroline DengOctober 12, 2015Amazing views of the falls! Be prepared to get soaked. Sometimes you can see rainbows inside the falls.
MariekeMay 14, 2016Niagara Falls boat tours from Canadian side. Very touristy but must do experience.
Tawseef KhanJuly 22, 2021Make sure to wear something light as you will get wet despite the rain coat they provide. Book tickets online.
Alessandro WürglerMay 8, 2018If you think that poncho will keep you dry, think again ^^ Take flip flops with you and change them before boarding. Totally worth the trip!
Holly BowenAugust 9, 2018We went later on a weekday so our boat wasn't too crowded. It is amazing too see the falls from that perspective.
Eugene SAugust 18, 2014Get on the early cruise (8am) and stand rear starboard side. Least people and great views still
Monica CullenJune 8, 2018If you want the Niagara Falls experience, you have to hop aboard. Getting wet and splashed is half the fun!
Sri VaniOctober 13, 2015Get all your cameras to off mode once you get into the ferry to ensure safety unless you have special raincoats for your camera😊
Franziska GostnerMay 10, 2017Get online tickets to avoid waiting, better to wear your own goretex clothes, official pics not cheap but nice memory
The TravelerAugust 23, 2016Go between 8am-10am it's not as crowded. You'll get wet but not too bad. Get right up next to the falls. Poncho included.
Jan AJune 13, 2018Interesting to get close to the falls. However boat is pretty packed and cruise only lasts around 20 minutes. For C$30 that’s just about okay.
- Sri VaniOctober 13, 2015Canada side Niagara Falls is run by hornblower & US side is maid of the mist. Many get confused😊
Mark SmithAugust 17, 2014You don't need extra weather gear if you can keep your valuables above the bottom of the poncho
Bryan KetelsJune 17, 2019This was fun. I remember going on the maid of the mist when I was a kid. Loved it!!!
Thomas McCarthyNovember 1, 2014Very well organized much more then with the maid of the mist. Much shorter waits.
Michelle MrdjenovicAugust 20, 2018Great ride to see the Falls. Could not hear the guy explaining what we were seeing
Tommy YangAugust 29, 2016I only got a little bit wet standing on the upper deck. (I went in the evening if that matters. )
- Sri VaniOctober 13, 2015Carry raincoat gear for your expensive cameras if they are not water proof. If you do not want to get drenched in the ferry carry one for urself too
- Sri VaniOctober 13, 2015Carry sun glasses, towel to sit on the open grass, binoculars to enjoy gr8 views, some snacks from your home if you are choosy as it normally takes min 8 hours to go around.
Rodrigo SantosSeptember 15, 2018O passeio de barco, no meio das quedas de Niagara Falls é imperdível! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
