Great time at the falls. Boat ride was best. Only down side was lots of walking... and sea gulls at cave....you need the rain poncho for them as much as the falls. Guide was great (Logan).
Dear valued guest, Thank you for sharing your review! We’re so glad to hear you had a great time at Niagara Falls and that the boat ride was the highlight of your experience.

The boat ride was fantastic! The lines, if any, are very small in early May. Logan did a great job leading the group to the various destinations, and I was impressed about his knowledge of Niagara falls. The tour of the Cave of the Winds was great, too. You would have to be able to walk for at least 25 minutes at a time, or have some kind of motorized wheelchair.
