Maid of the Mist

8.3

4.7/5

166 reviews

Since its maiden voyage in 1846, the Maid of the Mist has remained a classic way to experience Niagara Falls. The itinerary begins at the observation tower on the U.S. side, where travelers take an elevator down to the river valley dock. Before boarding, everyone receives a blue poncho, then steps onto the white double-deck cruise. The boat first glides past the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, where the cascading water creates a misty spray at arm's length. It then ventures into the horseshoe-shaped basin of Horseshoe Falls, surrounded by torrents of water rushing from three sides—thundering and mist-filled. Those on the deck soon get drenched, and a boatload of travelers clad in identical blue ponchos become companions sharing this misty adventure amid gasps and laughter. On sunny days, sunlight pierces through the mist, casting a long rainbow over the river valley that complements the nearby rainbow bridge. The entire voyage takes approx. 20 minutes. With no indoor cabin class on board, those wishing to stay drier can stand toward the rear of the lower deck. Before boarding, remember to secure your phone, hat, and other personal items—travel light and embrace this drenching yet exhilarating waterfall adventure.

Bridal Veil Falls is part of the Niagara Falls complex and is named for its graceful water flow. Located on the Niagara River at the border between the United States and Canada, Bridal Veil Falls is one of the major waterfalls in the United States. Although it is small in scale, its unique beauty attracts many tourists. The water of the waterfall pours down from a high altitude, forming a thin layer of water curtain, like a bride's veil. Especially under the sunlight, beautiful rainbows can often be seen in the mist. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent scenery of Bridal Veil Falls up close in a variety of ways. One of the more popular ways is to take the "Maid of the Mist" cruise, which will take tourists close to the bottom of the falls and feel the shock of the mist. In addition, tourists can walk to the observation deck on Goat Island to enjoy the beauty of the falls from different angles. For tourists who like hiking, nearby trails provide opportunities to explore the surrounding natural scenery.
