About this guide

MaidOfTheMist.tours is an independent guide to the Maid of the Mist boat tour at Niagara Falls, New York, and to the tours that include it. We are not the Maid of the Mist, the Maid of the Mist Corporation or any tour operator, and we are not Niagara Falls State Park or Viator. The site name describes the boat we write about, not our business. For official tickets and schedules, see maidofthemist.com; for the park, niagarafallsstatepark.com.

Facts here are checked against the official Maid of the Mist and state park websites, the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for border rules. Prices, hours and seasons change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you when the direct boat ticket is the better buy. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
