The iconic Maid of the Mist is every bit exciting as you could possibly imagine! Water rushes all around as you “soak” in the excitement and explore the roar of the Falls. A historical ride aboard the world-famous Maid of the Mist is a half hour thrill of a lifetime! North America’s oldest tourist attraction, millions of visitors have enjoyed the boat tours since 1846. Maid of the Mist boats will take you from the docks past the base of the American Falls, then into the basin of the magnificent Canadian Horseshoe Falls.

Open from April to November. Maid of the Mist boats depart every 15 minutes. A recyclable souvenir raincoat is provided free with admission to help keep you dry from the mist and spray. At the end of your boat tour you can visit the Maid of the Mist gift shop.

I have been here in 2018. The experience was wonderful. The boat ride was amazing. My only problem was getting the tickets for the boat ride. It was a really long and exhausting line that looked like it would never end. I don't remember exactly how much time it took us to get to the tickets booth but it was more than 2 hours.

May I know when we can except the start date for this year?

El Maid of the Mist es una experiencia imprescindible al visitar las Cataratas del Niágara. Este icónico recorrido en barco te lleva directamente al corazón de las cataratas, permitiéndote sentir la fuerza y majestuosidad de este fenómeno natural. Muchos visitantes destacan la emoción de acercarse tanto a las caídas de agua y quedar empapados por la niebla, lo que añade una dimensión única a la visita. Además, el personal es amable y profesional, asegurando una experiencia segura y memorable para todos los pasajeros. Sin duda, el Maid of the Mist ofrece una perspectiva inigualable de las cataratas que no se puede obtener desde tierra firme. Recomiendo 🙂
