Itinerary
Be the first one to board the legendary Maid of the Mist boat ride for an unforgettable journey to the base of Niagara Falls. Sail past the American Falls and toward the powerful Horseshoe Falls while experiencing the mist and thunder of the cascading water up close. (May-November)
From there, you will head up to the American Observation Tower extending out over Niagara Gorge.
Enjoy a spectacular view of the bridal veil falls and American from Luna Island.
See the iconic statue of Nikola Tesla, honoring the brilliant inventor whose work with alternating current helped make large-scale hydroelectric power at Niagara Falls possible.
At Cave of the Winds you’ll descend into the Niagara Gorge before embarking on a series of walkways leading to the famous “hurricane deck”. It has been said that even on a clear, calm day, a trip to the hurricane deck feels like you’re standing in the middle of a tropical storm!
Terrapin Point is a scenic observation area on Goat Island in Niagara Falls State Park, offering stunning views of the Horseshoe Falls, one of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. It is located on the American side of the border, providing a vantage point to see the powerful cascade of water and the mist that rises from the falls. Renovated several times, it features accessible walkways and viewing platforms for visitors to enjoy the natural spectacle up close.
Goat Island is well known for having one of the most magnificent views of both the American and Canadian Falls.

Excellent tour and kudos to Mr Mohamed for guiding us the best way and thanks for excellent support.
It was very fun informative and felt like meeting an old friend instead paid guide The planning of the activities were spaced perfect
This experience was rich with history and beauty. Our tour guy, Pete was exceptionally knowledgeable and full of fun facts.
Tour guide was late and rushed us through the itinerary, we missed a lot of things I wanted to see. Also the order of the events was not as listed. I had been saving up and waiting for this vacation for over a year. It was my partner’s birthday and our whole experience was ruined because of the delay. I won’t book again!
Had a great day, Richard was very friendly and informative. We had a good time despite the rain!! Amazing scenic views
We had the absolute best experience with our tour guide, Dave! He was so friendly, fun, and made sure we had no worries during the entire tour. It was so fun to have this include maid of the mist and cave of the winds. We would definitely book again if Dave would be our tour guide. Compared to the other tour guides we saw throughout the day, he had the most knowledge and skill. Overall we loved this tour.
Pay the extra money for the tour. It is so worth it! Dave was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and fun!! My sister and I had a great time on our tour. We learned so much about Niagara Falls that we wouldn’t have known anything had we don’t it ourselves. Viator is my new “go to” for all my vacation tours from now on.
Our tour guide really went off our vibe, we’re pretty chill and not very talkative so she let us explore and view the sites all while still being very responsive when questions came up. Really glad we booked this tour as we were on a semi strict timeline and we were able to do everything we wanted without all the stress of making sure we got tickets at the right times.
Dave was a great guide. He was very entertaining and had great stories and a lot of knowledge of the area and Niagara Falls
Mark was a fantastic tour guide. Made the experience special. He was very patient with our slow relaxed pace.
The tour guide is the way to go He had our tickets in hand and walked us through each experience. Full of information
Our experience at the Cave Of The Winds was breathtaking we got so close to the Bridal Veil Falls that we could let the water trickle through our fingers. (An FYI: roll up your pants legs and wear a good fitting pair of waterproof sandals as you will get drenched) The Maids Of The Mist was an awesome experience we got up close to the Falls and the sound was resounding, the wind was blowing strong and the mist was heavy surrounding us like a wet fog which did make it a bit difficult to get a good look at the falls. Again prepare to get wet; although, at both adventures you are provided with rain ponchos for protection from the mist. Maria our tour guide to Goat Island and Terrapin Point and the Falls was exceptional: informative-she gave us historical facts at each stop we made along the way and answering any questions asked, considerate-always making sure everyone was comfortable on the journey, friendly, fun and energetic.
I am writing to express my disappointment with the tour description, which stated an early start at 8 am and a duration of 3 hours. However, this was not accurate, and we were required to leave the tour early due to its excessive length of over 4 hours, conflicting with our 12 pm checkout time. When I inquired about using our tickets, I was informed that it was not possible as we were scheduled for 11:40 am. I found this to be highly misleading. Paying $198 for this experience has taught me a valuable lesson. Furthermore, I had submitted a query prior to the cancellation deadline but received no response. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied.
We arrived at 7:45 for an 8 am Exclusive early access to the maid of the mist and the cave of the winds. Our guide Gray was a half hour late. He made every excuse he could think of why he was late. He wanted to start the tour off with walking to the cave of the winds. We told him we paid extra to get early access to the maid of the mist. Finally, after 10 minutes of convincing him that we all wanted to go on the maid of the mist first, we proceeded to the maid of the mist. Upon arriving, he told us all to get in line and he would be waiting for us outside the store. While all the other tour groups had their guide with them the whole time. As if him being late wasn’t bad enough all he did every time you talked to him was complained about how much walking he had to do every day.. He barely explained anything to us about the park or the falls. Unacceptable tour guide!!!
An unforgettable way to experience Niagara Falls! Our guide was friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable—sharing interesting facts while leading us through the scenic Niagara Falls State Park, including stops at Goat and Luna Islands. It was the perfect blend of adventure and photo ops, with plenty of time to soak in the beauty and majesty of the Falls.
We did the walking tour with Cave and Maid of the Mist. It was absolutely amazing and beautiful! Our tour guide, Janea, was so sweet and friendly. She answered all our questions. I highly recommend this tour.
We were expecting a good tour and we got one. Our tour Emma was very knowledgeable and great at explaining the history of the falls and the cave of the winds. My wife and myself would definitely would use your tour company again. When we were below the falls, it was very intense! Thanks for a great tour.
We had dan as our guide..he was very good at directions and what was happening along with very informative. I'm 82 and a little slower than the rest of the family but he paced the walking so all were comfortable. He even offered to provide a ride back to the car for me but I decided to not do the long walk at the end. But thanks Dan for being so helpful..a great day all the family had lots of fun.
Suzanne and Emma were fabulous tour guides in every sense. They were welcoming, informative, kind and kept us on time for all sights while allowing exploration. Would highly recommend these two amazing ladies.
The Maid of the Mist boat ride is fun, although very short (20 min). Was worth the cost to see the falls from an up close viewpoint.
It was a very exciting experience for the whole family well guided and well organized. Smart and nice driving!
