Why you should go…

This is the classic Niagara moment: a catamaran ride straight into the thundering basin of Horseshoe Falls, where the mist soaks you and the roar drowns out everything else. Formerly known as the Hornblower cruise, it's the single most unforgettable 20 minutes in Niagara. Go at dusk for fireworks and illumination cruises.
