Sailing is a quiet, peaceful experience, as the boat is powered by nothing but the wind. You are welcome to sit back and relax, enjoy the sights, or take a turn at the helm, with instruction from your skipper! I will never forget the first time I sailed, and hope to create the same memory for my guests.

What a wonderful idea!! We loved hearing about some of the sites that we were passing and their history. They even talked about some of the animals and we did get to see an eagle. The tour guides were entertaining and the quiz questions fun. A great way to learn about our country! Can’t wait for the next Tripvia trip!

The team were fantastic! They gave information about all of the wildlife! 3-4 hours out on the water! They have extra items if you need them to ensure you stay warm & they clean everything prior and after to be covid safe We saw killer whales, seals, sea lions, porpoise, puffins! They try and tailor it for you and are flexible so I think they’d definitely tailor a tour for you if you really wanted to see something!

First and foremost where do I start. First our tour guide Robert was amazing and informative about Niagara Falls he was charismatic with himself and made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. I thank you for our tour sir. We got to see all the falls I don't know why people say you only see half of the horseshoe fall we seen the whole thing up close on maid of the most. I was very pleased how all the views were spectacular it was unbelievable experience I will definitely do this tour AGAIN!!!. Pricing was great as well for what you are getting there is another company that charges about 20$ more then this one and getting the same thing. I must remind you...you will get extremely wet from the cave of the winds and maid of the mist so bring sandals or slides but ready for an amazing experience.
