Step aboard your state-of-the-art, 700-passenger catamaran to begin your Niagara Falls boating adventure. With tiered viewing platforms, upper and lower decks, and a glassed-in dry area, the boat — either the Niagara Wonder or the Niagara Thunder — provides space, comfort and great vantage points of the falls for everyone, whether you want to be out in the elements or stay warm and dry.
Pull away from the dock and into the Niagara Gorge, passing by American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, the two waterfalls on the American side. Then make sure your provided poncho is secured and the hood is on as you draw near to Canadian-side Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three. As the boat gets as close as possible to the thundering falls, you won’t be able to think of anything but the deafening noise and powerful spray of water reminding you just who is in charge — Mother Nature, of course.
Before you get too drenched, head back to the dock, enjoying more views of the Niagara River on the way. If you need a drink or snack, visit the onboard concession stand.
A retail shop at the landing area offers waterproof accessories like camera cases, as well as souvenirs, so stop by before or after your boat ride.
