    I admit I bawled like a baby when I saw the falls. I had never seen a waterfall and it was a bucket list time for me. So when we went to New York to visit my husband's family he said we had to swing up to see the falls. I am so glad he did. It was amazing.

    Hi Jacob 👋 I really love the falls. It is a relaxing place! I probably have been there at least a dozen times. We would go for a long weekend. I remember going with my parents and sister when i was a teenager for the first time. In those days you wore heavy raincoats and boots. So much nicer having the disposable and sanitary. Great video 📹 Have a nice day.

    I've been to the falls, and they are truly breathtaking. Video and pictures simply can't do them justice. Been on the Maid of the Misr, but not the Hornblower, and I have a picture of a 13 or 14 year old me in front of the ship's wheel. You used to be able to go behind the falls, at one point you're only ten feet away from a solid wall of water. But as I understand it, you can't do that anymore. Also, I'm glad you brought up the hat. It was a little weird to see you without it. You should never go on an Adventure without your hat.🤠

    You gotta make trip to the Falls in the Winter time, its actually prettier, all the mist creates ice on the surrounding trees in the areas; its also colder around the area of the Falls. The Canadian side has the prettiest winter views (imho) also on winter nights when the falls do their light-shows its spectacular with the colored lights hitting the trees, sky-lines and icy waters, its a must-see in the winter!

    @minavane5533 6 месяцев назад +1

    If I had to choose which tour to take I would choose Maid of the Mist because there weren't as many people and therefore you have a better view. The view was fine on The Hornblower but you got some great footage on the Maid of the Mist. Maybe they limit how many people are on the boat more so you can see better.

Too bad the Crow's Nest was closed, as I KNOW you would have gone up there for SURE!! Wonderful video!!! Over 180 yrs as a roadside attractions must be the record!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!

    If you don’t go on this you’re really missing out! You can get right under the American falls at the end so two attractions for one!! I did the cave of the winds my first time there. Now that I know you can go on the boat and under the American falls with a sweet observation tower yes please every time!!!! I want to go to the Canadian side because I think you can get into the old Hydro plant tunnel now. Sounds epic to get closer to the horseshoe.
