What To Expect

Maid of the Mist

You’ve never felt the power of Niagara Falls like this before. On our tour you will get to ride on their all-new, fully electric boats to truly experience the rush from the 600,000 gallons of water falling per second. Come feel it for yourself. So, when you set sail on the Maid of the Mist, you’re not just getting iconic views. You’re also taking the ride of your lifetime.“A favorite Niagara Falls State Park attraction for more than 150 years, the Maid of the Mist journey begins at the Observation Tower, where guests are given a souvenir rain poncho to wear and board the double-deck Maid of the Mist tour boat. From there, the boat ferries past the base of the American Falls, and onto the basin of Horseshoe Falls--the dramatic passage leading you through the roiling waterfall whitewater and massive rock formations. The Maid of the Mist returns guests to shore with newfound appreciation of the power and grandeur of Niagara Falls. “– NYS Parks
