I recently traveled trough New York and took a boat tour through Niagara Falls via commercial boat ride.
"Maid of the Mist Tour" I believe was the name of the tour and was very resonably priced. I think tickets were around 18 bucks per person.
18 bucks is dirt cheap considering the views, memories and experiences that you get!
These were some of the most amazing views I have ever seen in my life!
Cool RAINBOW!
Now, enough of the still photos and on with the video footage! Do yourself a favor and watch this video, it is totally worth it. I was worried that the footage didn't turn out well because my phone was literally soaked and wet! I had to keep pausing the video to wipe the water off the lense with my dry shirt underneith my poncho. I was pleasantly surprised when I reviewed the video, it turned out beautiful with several rainbows and even a double rainbow. Just ignore the few seconds of stupidity at the beginning, it's an inside joke. There is some beautiful shots of the falls in this video!
All photos and video in this post were taken by the bandito the may or may not be blue....
Holy Mist And Unicorn Rainbows Batman!
Favourite line: "My goatee is flapping in the wind."
Hahaha!
Great footage. No bandits were harmed in this episode of rocks, wind and water. :)

Haaha, it really was! Hurricane force winds I tell ya! That was actually part of the inside joke at the beginning of the video with the special creature wrapped in bubble wrap trying to get out of the bathroom. A friend of mine said I needed to wrap my ass up in bubble wrap before I kill myself so I made a lil clip of "it" trying to open the door. The friend thar made the comment was talking at the very beginning. Great comment, Becca!

Hahaha! Best material ever "the pelted goatee" sounds like a great pub-name to me.

The power and might of those falls really come out in the video. Good thing the captain of the boat knew what he/she was doing. And the rainbows...OMG! Awesome photos too. That is an experience that I know you will never forget. Tip!

Like a darned hurricane. That is a massive amount of very violent waters. Is any of it harnessed for electricity? Very cool! No pun intended!🐓🐓

These are extremely powerful waters to say the least. Just the wind and pelts of water coming from the falls felt like results of extreme weather. About electricity, the Niagara Falls is the most powerful water fall in North America and it is a tremendous source for hydroelectric plants throughout the country. New York has a hydro plant that I know of and I think Colorado has one too, I'm not sure what other states have them from the river but yeah, it produces a lot of electricity!

I got to visit from the Canada side last November. I thought the US side wasn't going to have as good of views, but you got some incredible pictures and I think the US side has just as good of views.

I keep hearing that the Canadian side has the better views. I've never been so I can't compare but I was mystified by everything I saw from that boat! It did look like the Canadian side was more fun with the Casinos and all close by lol.

I was supposed how cheap the Maid of the Mist ride was, nothing is that cheap these days
