Niagara Falls USA: Cave of the Winds & Maid of the Mist Ride

Your tour of Niagara Falls, USA begins with pick up directly from your downtown hotel.

Your guide will then bring you to your first attraction, a boat ride on the famous Maid of the Mist (replaced with Niagara Virtual during the winter season). Before you board, you'll have a chance to check out the view from the Prospect Point Observation Tower, located directly above the boarding site for the Maid of the Mist boat tour. While you're on the boat tour, you'll take in incredible views, hear the thunderous roars of the rushing waterfalls and you may get a bit wet, depending on where you stand - but don't worry, you will be provided with a rain poncho for this boat ride.

Next, visit Goat Island and head to the thrilling Cave of the Winds. You will descend 175 feet into the Niagara Gorge, then walk along a series of wooden platforms that bring you right next to Bridal Veil Falls. Standing on the Hurricane Deck (seasonal), just feet from the rushing water, you will feel like you are in the middle of a tropical storm, even when the skies are clear.

At the end of your Niagara Falls tour, your guide will drop you off back at your hotel.
