The Maid of the Mist boat tour has been sailing into the spray of Niagara Falls since 1846, carrying passengers in blue ponchos past the base of the American Falls and directly into the roiling mist at the foot of the Horseshoe Falls for the most viscerally exciting close encounter with this natural wonder. The tour departs from both the Canadian and American shores. Hotels near the Maid of the Mist dock on the Canadian side in Niagara Falls Ontario are within walking distance of this legendary attraction and the Journey Behind the Falls experience.
