How long does maid of the mist take

For more than years, this ride has thrilled millions of tourists and is the top attraction in Niagara. After the boat pulls away from the dock, it passes American Falls. Notice the stairs along the left north side of the falls. Thousands of waterfowl can be seen resting or building nests in the rocky ledges of the gorge. The chatter of the birds gives way to the ominous din of Horseshoe Falls. A favorite Niagara Falls State Park attraction for more than years, the Maid of the Mist journey begins at the Observation Tower, where guests are given a souvenir rain poncho to wear and board the double-deck Maid of the Mist tour boat.

From there, the boat ferries past the base of the American Falls, and onto the basin of Horseshoe Falls--the dramatic passage leading you through the roiling waterfall whitewater and massive rock formations. The Maid of the Mist returns guests to shore with newfound appreciation of the power and grandeur of Niagara Falls.
