Niagara Falls features three major waterfalls: the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. This three-hour tour includes a guided visit to these landmarks with transport and admissions arranged in advance. A local guide will pick up guests from their hotel and provide commentary throughout the tour. The tour begins with a 45-minute Maid of the Mist boat ride, operating seasonally from April 20th to November 5th. On this ride, guests get close to all three falls, starting with the American Falls, then the Bridal Veil Falls, and finally the Horseshoe Falls. Waterproof ponchos are provided to protect against the mist created by the powerful water. Next, on the American side, the Cave of the Winds portion includes a walk through a small interactive museum and a short film about Nikola Tesla's use of hydroelectric power. Afterward, guests put on ponchos again to walk on wooden decks beneath the Bridal Veil Falls, rebuilt annually. The tour includes access to the Hurricane Deck, where up to 60,000 gallons of water fall overhead. Additional stops include views of the Horseshoe Falls from above, a walk to Luna Island to see Bridal Veil and American Falls while the guide shares historical and natural details, and a visit to the Nikola Tesla Monument. The guide also drives guests to Goat Island for a short walk to Terrapin Point for a close view of the Horseshoe Falls. The tour concludes with a visit to the Niagara Falls Observation Tower. After the boat ride, guests take an elevator to the tower’s deck for a broad elevated perspective of the falls. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off, parking fees, and all admission charges. Gratuities are not included.
