Almost everyday, especially during the Summer season Niagara is wall to wall with tourists..Visiting this tourist spot could be done in two ways: by using a car or joining a tour bus. Each one has certain pros and cons..
If you take a car, you can have more time to walk about and visit the various attractions ( money traps ) of the place..BUT, you have to reckon with finding a parking space.
If you take the tour bus, then you can only have a half hour at most in walking about and enjoy the place...But you will be very comfortable riding in an air condtioned bus..And sometimes, you will learn many things re: Niagara from the lecture of the driver. A buffet is included in the tour, plus the Maid of the Mists ride..Then there will be side trips, esp. to Niagara on the Lake, a wine making country..
This entry describes briefly the ride on the Maid of the Mist. However, no words can do justice to what you see and feel while you are there; the deafening sound of the cascading waters blocking your ears and the white "mist" which envelopes the boat as it approaches the horsehoe falls. Then it stops at a safe distance, otherwise the weight of the oncoming water will capsize and wreck the boat. The people scream as the ship enters the "danger" zone...Using expensive cameras will surely damage its sensitive features. Besides you would not get any good shot anyway. If the sun is out while you are there, you would see a rainbow because the spray would act as a prism to bend the sunlight and divides it into the seven recognizable colours.
After a minute or so, you would feel the ship retreating and then it goes back to the port where it picked the passengers. A new batch of daring passengers would be waiting at the dock, eager to experience what you just have did...
