Since its early voyage in 1846, the "Maid of the Mist" cruise ship has always been a popular way to play in Niagara Falls. Put on a thin blue raincoat and board the white double-decker cruise ship, and the exciting waterfall tour will start. . The cruise ship "Maid of the Mist", which looks quite historical but sturdy, will bravely sail all the way from the river bank to the waterfall, and enter the horseshoe-shaped middle circle of the waterfall. Strangers seem to have become degraded people who are on the same boat. In a hazy spray, you can personally feel the momentum and power of the waterfall. After leaving the storm circle, the cruise ship "Maid of the Mist" is like a boat returning from a calamity, swaying to the American Falls. When the weather is clear, the sunlight and water vapor interweave into a long and beautiful rainbow, which is projected on the veritable name. In front of "Rainbow Bridge".Niagara Falls · 26.6km from Buffalo

Two views of the falls. Niagara Falls is world-famous, and you can see it not only during the day but also at night, with a fireworks show at 8 pm. Such a spectacle is rare in the world.

Absolutely beautiful Niagara Falls experience! 🌊🇺🇸Niagara Falls was truly breathtaking and even more beautiful than I expected. The views, the sound of the waterfalls, and the sheer power of the water make it an unforgettable experience.

5.1 I went to Niagara Falls that day. I was lucky to catch up with the Maiden Cruise in the fog. I went to experience the feeling of pouring the rain from head to toe under the waterfall for $30. The attraction will send raincoats, remember to bring your shoes or it will be all wet. But it is best to see the waterfalls across Canada by boat. Niagara Falls has several observation decks. If you have a long time, you can go and see it. In addition, there is a wind tunnel scenic spot where you can see the bridal veil waterfall. The American Falls can also be seen on the observation deck without charge, but the best angle is also to enjoy the Maiden Cruise in the fog
