Not recommended

John_C, Jun 2026
Not worth the wait and money you're better off going to the ticket counter and purchasing tickets they sold tickets every hour of the day at a cheaper price

Too expensive!! Not worth to pay double.

So_M, Jun 2026
Way too expensive. The tour guide just showed up, talked about the area for about 15 minutes, gave us the tickets, and said goodbye. This isn't a place that actually needs a guide; instead of wasting time following one around, it's much better to just explore with your family. On top of that, they charged double the price of an actual on-site ticket. This is a total scam.

Wet Fun Experience

Ruth_P, Jun 2026
Nathaniel was a great guide. He was personable and provided good information. We got very wet in the Cave of the Winds but it was FUN.

Fun

Monika_F, May 2026
Nice and leisurely. We had fun. Want more time in theater. Very knowledgeable. You should let the guides talk!

Best experience!!

RICO was awsome and gave us a lot of information we would have never seen or heard. So glad we booked this tour

Fantastic Tour

Alicia_s, Apr 2026
My tour was amazing. My guide was Ricky and he was great. He was well informed and kept it entertaining even helping me find a rainbow in the falls at the end for a good photo. It was my birthday and he made it a great one for me. Highly recommend the tour to anyone

Totally not worth the...

Meghan_L, Apr 2026
Totally not worth the money it’s not completely open! Very expensive elevator ride down to one deck. I must have missed something in the description that clearly stated this was not fully operational yet. Very disappointing!

Some things were...

Jacob_T, Mar 2026
Some things were restricted due to the weather but we had a great time still. Our tour guide Rickie was really nice and informative. He gave us some good advice and insight to the area. Also got some great pictures

Joel was a great turn...

Andrea_C, Sep 2025
Joel was a great turn guide. Lots of cool info. Got wetter today than yesterday on the boat. Well worth doing

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide

Tina_H, Aug 2025
Our tour was great! Our guide, Brian, really knows his stuff. He told us all about Niagra Falls. A lot of history, which was cool. We went to Luna Island, Terrapin Point and Cave of the Winds. We had a great time!

The tour guide was...

Mighty and Magnificent

Absolutely incredible!!! Brian was a great tour guide for the first part and Cave of the Winds was an up close, powerful experience.

Cave of the Winds

Nena_M, Jul 2025
Prepare to get wet and witness an amazing sight. Out tour guide was very interesting with a number of interesting facts and stories about the falls

Too long!!

L_A, Jun 2025
It’s easy to take a ticket at the booth and go down instead of the tour guide We spend unnecessary too long around 2 hours

See above

Bill_M, Oct 2024
The information received was to meet at the “Tesela” arch. First time to Niagara use Waze and Google took us to center of Goat island. We arrived 30 minutes early but by the time we asked three different people where the arc was and by the time I called the help number it was five minutes pass the meeting time and we missed our appointed entry. The gentleman I spoke to directed us to go to the ticket station and pay for the tickets and he would give us a full refund which appeared with in the same day. It was a great response and I fully would recommend them again. My recommendation is they clarify the meeting area “in front of the ticket boot by the arc. I saw the arch but no where on the arch it was called “Tesla Arch” Also all maps do not show the arch.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

i am sorry about the confusion. We did try and accommodate you despite the issues but were not able to so the only thing we could do was refund your money.

Great, wet, impressive

Sergey_V, Oct 2024
Incredibly great, funny and wet. Recommended to everybody. This will be a impression for whole life.

Awesome!!

Bill_W, Oct 2024
Our guide at the Falls was awesome! The cave experience was a memory I will not forget. I was soaked but I loved it!! Would certainly recommend it.

Very disappointed and frustrated

Cheryl_G, Aug 2024
The tour was cancelled and it was very difficulty to get the tickets from the tour company I expect to be refunded for the tour that was cancelled

Great experience at the caves

brian_r, Aug 2024
Joe was great. He told stories and facts about the falls and surrounding area. I really like the fact that the tickets were handled and we would not have to wait in a potentially long line to get tickets to the caves. Joe took care of everything. I would definitely do this tour again.

Cave of Winds

Kevin_M, Aug 2024
Brian was great! Kept everyone together and informed those who strayed exactly where the group was headed and to the minute so we could catch up with the group.

Dave was understanding & knowledgeable

Denise_S, Jul 2024
Our tour guide was Dave. He was very accommodating to our group & listened to our needs ! Also was very knowledgeable on Niagara Falls history. My 14 year old granddaughter enjoyed listening to him tell the stories of the history. He also recommended we should take a drive before we left the area to Whirlpool Park minutes away from the falls. The next morning we got up early and drove over. So worth the drive to see some real beautiful sites. Thank you Dave. We both enjoyed your tour.

10/10 would reccommend!

Jacqueline_B, Jun 2024
Our tour guide Jacob was extremely knowledgable and very entertaining throughout the whole tour! He was very helpful when we were running late he called me to help find my way and he even had extra sunscreen and coins for tossing. We had so much fun💖

Cheaper to get tickets at cave of the winds ticket stand

Yesenia_M, Jun 2024
The hurricane deck was AMAZING! However, I did not know that it would be a guided tour. The docent was funny and knowledgeable. I will tell friends and family to go directly to the ticket box, and save $26 per person.

I loved seeing the birds

Charles_W, Apr 2024
I really enjoyed this tour and I want to come back again. The platforms were currently being built. I got here a little early in the season, but I had a great time

I liked all the info...

Rebecca_K, Mar 2024
I liked all the info sherry provided, giving the whole thing context was illuminating. I liked learning about some of the local hot spots to hang out.

Totally awesome adventure
