Niagara Falls USA: Guided Walking Tour + Maid of Mist or Observation Deck

Niagara Falls USA: Guided Walking Tour + Maid of Mist or Observation Deck

Experience a 90-minute small group guided walking tour of the 3 Waterfalls in Niagara Falls State Park, USA. Then enjoy the Maid of the Mist boat ride (May – Oct) or the Observation Deck (Nov-Apr).

Discover the awe of Niagara Falls with a small group guided walking tour through Niagara Falls State Park, New York, USA. Led by a local guide, you’ll hear fascinating stories of the Falls’ history and geology as you explore the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls (aka the Canadian Falls).

Enjoy stunning viewpoints of the waterfalls from both the mainland and Goat Island. Then step onto Luna Island, where you’ll stand between the roaring cascades of the American and Bridal Veil Falls—an unforgettable perspective few visitors experience. Then journey on to Terrapin Point, for the closest and most breathtaking view of the mighty Horseshoe Falls from land.

Then experience the world-famous Maid of the Mist boat ride. Feel the mist on your face as the boat glides past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the heart of the thundering Horseshoe Falls—an experience you’ll never forget. In the off-season, enjoy sweeping panoramas from the Niagara Falls Observation Tower instead.

Highlights
- Explore the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls with a local guide

Please note:
Maid of the Mist Boat Cruise normally operates from May – October – but is subject to closure based upon the weather. When the boat is not operating, you will visit the Observation Tower instead – and the price is reduced accordingly.

During winter (Nov – Apr) access to certain areas may sometimes be limited or not possible due to ice – most notably Luna Island and/or the Observation deck.

You can take The Maid of the Mist Boat Tour after your Walking Tour for the 10am, 12pm & 2pm departure times. But for the 4pm & 8.30pm departures, you should plan to take the boat tour before your walking tour, or on the next day.
