The last time I was there was in the 80's. Ya'll have got me inspired to go back! I didn't do the boat tour and I'm not sure if Cave of the Winds was a thing back then. What I remember most were all the ducks that swam at the water's edge before it went over and not a single one was sucked over the Falls. It was amazing to watch! Great video! Loved how much fun ya'll were having. Thanks for including all of us!

Did the boat trip and it scared the b-jeezus out of me! My daughter was laughing at me and all I could think of was, we're going to be on the nightly news as the first boat that got too close to the falls!! lol We had a lot of fun but you are SO right about it being very busy and very touristy!

What an awesome girls trip! We took our son when he was around 10, and he particularly loved the Maid of the Mist and honky-tonk vibe of the Canadian side. My husband & I are now retired. We would like to return and visit some of the area's wineries.

I have been to Niagara Falls it is amazing. Not sure if the birds were nesting on the side of the cliff when you guys were there but they are cool to see. If you watch them they roll their eggs over in the nest,not sure why but it's cool to watch.There will be hundreds of nests and they are turning the eggs. The nests are right beside the walkways. Anyway my boyfriend and I watch your videos and love them.You seem to be genuinely nice people and respectful.

We were at the Falls about 2 weeks ago. It was an absolutely beautiful day (highs in the mid 70’s) and not a cloud in the sky. There was a little bit of prep we had to do ahead of time in order to be able to cross over to the Canadian side, but it was well worth it. Thankfully, the crowds were light that day and going through customs in Canada was very quick. You need to go back and see the Falls from the Canadian side. You just can’t capture the same view as from the American side. In any event, glad you two got to see them. The Falls are indescribable in their beauty. Pictures and video don’t do them justice.

Can't explain how surprised I was by how FUN Niagara Falls was - we paid the money and did the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds - totally worth it! Smiling and laughing the whole time.

What a great video! Your enthusiasm, planning, editing, camera gear, and skill in using it make your videos a blast to watch. And oh yeah, your food reviews always make me hungry! You really captured the flavor of Niagara. I first visited in 1952, when the flow was double what it is now. The horseshoe was just a massive wall of white foam. Some say it has more character now, and I guess that's true, but it was truly terrifying with twice the water. When you go to the Canadian side, the views are really amazing, but you won't get as wet. Do the behind the falls thing if you go to Canada, but keep in mind that you won't see it like it used to be. Not to put a damper on it, but today, you can't go all the way to the two tunnel portals behind the falls, so all you see is a wall of water in front of you. It looks like it's about 30-50 feet away. When my dad took me there in 1961, you could go right up to the portals. The first one allowed you to see the end of the horseshoe to your left, with the bridge in the distance and an awesome rainbow. The second one was farther in, and all you could see was a curved sheet of water left and right. You could look up to the brink, and down to scattered boxcar sized boulders below with tons of water pounding onto them. It was stunning. I'm guessing they closed off the portals because of dangerous erosion. The trip now is probably still worth taking, because you can still go out on the observation deck at the base of the falls. It's an amazing natural wonder, and as you know, if you block out the nasty people and campy touristy stuff, you can still have fun imagining what it must have been like a few hundred years ago. Thanks again, guys, and safe travels to you always. :-)

Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a ton! And wow, double the water sounds INTENSE! We know so many people say the Canada side is better, but we LOVED the experiences on the US side and love that both sides offer different experiences. We look forward to experiencing it someday!

LOL! The best $40 we ever spent!! LOL. That was great! I’m glad you got to experience Niagara Falls! I think it’s a must see! My parents took us when we were little (I don’t remember that); my husband and I took our kids when they were 4, 6 & 8. It was fun to see their enjoyment. My favorite picture of the 3 of them was on the Maid of the Mist with their blue raincoats on (actually got real raincoats back then!). We’ve always gone to the Canadian side. The last time I went was probably 15 years ago. My mother in law said she would like to see Niagara Falls again so I took her up there along with my sister in law. It was a nice “girls trip”. We took a drive out of town along the river and stopped at a winery; that was fun; got to taste some dessert wine made from frozen grapes. Your video brought back memories of the different trips I took up there!

You both did a great job showing Niagara Falls since I have probably been there 50 times. Downtown Niagara Falls needs a lot of help and is somewhat depressing, but the Canadian side is worth viewing and both sides have Casinos. Outside Niagara Falls on the Canadian side is a charming little town called Niagara on the Lake, which people from all over the world travel to and it has nice wineries as well. Toronto is only 90 miles away and Fort Niagara is from the War of 1812 and you can see it from Niagara on the Lake.
