Maid of the Mist Reviews

Great experience. Wear clothes you may not mind getting wet!

Awesome experience to see the Niagara Falls that close, and been on a boat is something special too, prepare to get a little wet

Without doubt the best known tourist carriers to the falls. Get out well covered and plan to protect your camera.

A wonderful day here with the maid of the mist. Seen the best sights, been nearest to the falls.

Amazing boat trip to the midst of the horse shoe falls gorge in Niagara. The wait was short and hence more enjoyable! The tours happen from 9am to 8pm.

This is an amazing tour! Just beware of the crowd trying to shovel you and ruin the beautiful experience!

If you ever go to Niagara Falls, you NEED to do one of the boat Tours! It's a great experience & you get to feel the Falls at a safe distance. I recommend taking a clear cover for your camera or phone so you can take those amazing pictures!

I Visited this place with my parents, wife and 8 months baby, it's very safe for infants yet exciting near the waterfall in the boat, Atmosphere is amazing with breeze and water from the fall , be ready to get some wet even with the raincoat

It is too crowded.. they have to make sure limit the count per trip

Great experience and definately one of the must see things in Niagara Falls... lines are huge to get in but be smart and get there early to beat them. Once on the ship its crowded so make sure you find a spot with something to hold on to. The views of the waterfalls are simply breathtaking so its worth every dollar. Make sure you go up the stairs to the waterfall and then stick around on the observatory deck.

So much fun, and reasonably priced. We will go again.

AMAZING! if you only have time to do one thing at Niagara this is it!
you will get WET but its all worth it!!!

The tour was amazing, you should definitely go there if you're visiting niagra falls!

The maid of the mid tour takes you to the center of the horseshoe waterfall. The view at the center of the horseshoe falls is breathtaking and almost unbelievable because of its sheer scale.

Affordable and worth the money, it is simply amazing under the falls.

Too many people crammed onto the ride. Maybe offer a ADHD day for children with disabilities.

When everyone leaving has a big smile on their faces then you know the attraction did its job. For $18.50 it is definitely worth it, don't pass up walking up the stairs next to American Falls after the boat ride.

Too short of a ride. Did get quite close of the falls.

Incredible! Put this on your "must do" list. Take in the breathtaking beauty of the falls from all of their spectacular vantage points. Be sure take the hike up the stairs for some fantastic pics.

A special thank you to Wendy for making our experience completely amazing!!!

Definitely recommend it. It is must to do when you visit Niagara Falls. It s such a nice experience. Try to find coupons on Groupon before you go.

*Update*
Thank God for a second visit this summer. We were a part of the first few boarders on the Mist & had the top, middle rail. We waited to get this ideal spot. It was AWESOME & totally worth it--this time!!! I have a phobia about large, rushing bodies of water so we chose the back instead of the front. Just amazing! We got great pics, was able to move around & stumble about with ease, lol. Most importantly, the line was quick! Awesome, awesome, AWESOME!!

This was suppose to be one of the highlights of visiting Niagara Falls. After the wait to even board the boat, my family was later in a huge group that boarded, so we got less than ideal positions. We were on the bottom level, 3-4 ppl deep. The boat was... loaded to the brim! We did, however, get a laugh out of being soaked by the fall's mist and knocked a little off balance as we sat for a moment near the falls. The view was absolutely breathtaking! We did wish we could've been on the top deck and on the rail, but it was full up there as well. We'll know for next time. Unfortunately, I did have to score down because once we got off the boat, the wait in the heat & humidity just to reach the elevators back up was just ridiculous. Other patrons were rude, obnoxious, & even threatened a worker & another family. Not a pleasant ending.

A miracle of the earth that you should experience once in a lifetime
It is an art to confront with an electric ship naturally that human beings cannot win.
Those who scream, those who are overwhelmed and stand up, those who keep releasing the shutter of the camera to somehow impress.
How do you perceive the energy of a tremendous waterfall with your body? You can't understand it unless you go there. I was the above three.
When approaching the waterfall, even the birds disappear and the area is completely white.
Water droplets like heavy rain fall on the body with strong winds from all directions, and it seems to be purified more and more.
When the ship returns from the waterfall to the port, there is a big rainbow, and the ship penetrates between them.
An experience that can never be reproduced even at the attractions of existing artificial theme parks.
You don't need to make a reservation in advance at Corona Vortex, and you can buy the ticket itself.
However, I lined up for an hour from there and became sick.
Furthermore, the part protruding from the land before getting on the elevator is regarded as Canada, and radio waves do not pass at all Super strong wind.
It was harsh and I thought many times that I should stop halfway through, but I'm glad I put up with it.

It s once in lifetime experience, everyone have to try this. The huge fall on Canada side is amazing to see. The boat takes you around the horse shoe fall and turns from there, you will likely get wet from the mist which is almost like rain.

Great adventure & view for family up close encounter of the fall.

It was such a fun experience to see the Falls so close that you can feel the water. It should be on everyone's bucket list.

Very impressive nature, too long lines, but appreciate the fact that it was in the name of safety.

This is a must if you're going to visit Niagara. Be prepared to get a little wet. They give you a Pancho and that helped a lot. Be careful about social distancing. Once you get in the boat some people don't really seem to care too much.

Wow, AMAZING boat tour! You get up close and personal to the falls and feel its roar, wind, and its refreshing mist...felt incredible since it was so hot outside! I recommend going either super early first thing in the morning, or later in the evening before dinner. It gets super packed and it s too hot to go in the middle of the day. You ll be waiting for awhile. However - totally worth it! The boat ride is about 20-30 min and the captain pauses in front of both the NY falls and the horse shoe falls...you ll get some unbelievable photos...I absolutely LOVED IT!!!!!! You are missing out if you don t do this boat tour!

A lot of fun. It was the first time my 1.5 year old was ever on a boat and she loved getting sprayed while on it and never screamed. (which is a plus for us and others on the boat). It is definitely a must see when coming to Niagara.

Been here at least 6 times and it never ceases to be A thrilling experience for me..especially when the boat turns around the horseshoe, takes ur breath away to see the mightiness and the thurnderous sound of the falls! Worth every penny and time. I like American side of the tour better than Canadian side (Hornblower)

I cannot describe the experience in words...Its something that has to be felt to understand.... Blew my mind

A great ride in mighty Niagara river. That gets you close to the bottom of the falls. Its a great ride.

You know, it's one of those once-in-a-lifetime things. Some may go back more than that put the entire area along with this little tour is amazing.

Pretty expensive, but I guess it's worth doing once to know what it's like to go up to the falls. You get pretty wet, so make sure to wear the little rain jackets they give you. Seeing the falls from a different angle is a cool experience.

Wow!

Seeing the Falls for the first time is certainly a wow moment. Short wait time, friendly staff. A definite must do on anyone's bucket list.

Breathtaking view of American falls and Canadian Horseshoe falls. Don't miss it. Nicely arranged. It starts with the Observation Deck from where you get a high view of both the American and Canadian lands. The moment when the boat reaches the closest to the falls is beyond words. Its so mesmerizing. Worth every penny of your trip.

U have to try this if u are able. So beautiful. Plus u will be able to see Rainbows while up close to the falls

No words can describe what you feel when you stand so close to this gigantic waterfall.
I was lucky that there was not much crowd on weekend but from what I ve heard that most of times there is a huge waiting time.

2 hour wait to get on, 2 hour wait to get back up. No thanks! So I prepaid for tickets I never got to use! $40 wasted money! Real bummer. Looked cool though. Edit: I recieved a full refund which was very much appreciated. Still wish we could have experienced the ride, maybe next time!!!

It was a wonderful to experience the Niagra falls through the mist. Maid of the mist boat took us very close to the bottom of the falls.

Great tour to get up close and personal with the falls . Getting to feel the power of the falls was a great experience too!

If you are here, might as well take this ride and it's not a bad one. Takes you close to the house show, close enough to feel the power of the fall.

You get to go closer to the waterfalls and it is really fun. Make sure to put your stuff under the poncho because it will get very wet because you are standing next to huge waterfalls. You have to do this ride if you go to Niagara Falls.

A very fun tour of the Niagara falls, I do it every time I visit!

Powerful, fun, beautiful, and you really do get wet from the spray of the falls themselves. AMAZING

A must must must do thing while in Niagara Falls. Without doing it, you will able to just see and feel only 25% of the falls.

We visited today on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend that to in the the afternoon. The Most crowded day and time. There was 1.5 hr long line to go in and another 1 hr long line to come back, because there are only 4 elevators that take you down and bring you back up.

Don t know about other days but today it was feeling like in every 100 people there are 60 people from India 20 Chinese and balance including every one else.

You must take this tour and try to enjoy every bit of it.

Few points that can make your trip more enjoyable :

1. Try to do it whenever you feel that it s less crowded. (Early morning and late afternoon)

2. As soon as you reach at the boat, capture place either front and back of lower level and same way on the upper level. You will enjoy the most in upper level.

3. They will hold the boat in the mist for a while and that is the time to enjoy. Hold on to something as the boat gonna move a lot.

The boat ride was awesome. A must do if you're there. It's packed around mid day but we went late afternoon and it was much better. The view is best on the to deck since you can see both sides.

One of the best experience. It does not look too wild from far but when the boat gets deeper into the mist...its awesome. View is spectacular.

Most exciting boat ride on the planet. Hearing and feeling the roar of the Falls was one of my best ever experiences.
