From the deck of the boat visitors to Niagara can experience a whole new perspective on the mighty cataracts.

Clad in a hooded raincoat (it's provided), you'll cruise right to the base of the American and Horseshoe Falls. Hear the thunder of the falls echo against the rocks and feel Niagara's cool mist on your face.

Since 1846, millions of visitors, including presidents, kings and movie stars, have enjoyed the Maid of the Mist boat tours of Niagara. It's one of the oldest tourist attractions in North America.

Teddy Roosevelt: commenting on the Maid of the Mist:
"The ride was the only way to fully realize the grandeur of the Great Falls of Niagara".

The journey was no less impressive for a recent journalist, when he stated:

"Until you have seen Niagara Falls from the deck of the Maid of the Mist, you have little idea of the awesome power of that mighty cataract. As the ship heaves and bucks, approaching closer and closer to the cascading water, all the passengers are completely enveloped in spray. The deafening roar, the spray driving against your face, the hammering of the ship's diesel engines as they force the vessel against the current, make for an unforgettable experience."
