Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls — the Horseshoe Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the American Falls — that overlap the international borders of Canada and the United States. The water that flows over Niagara Falls comes from four of the five Great Lakes: Erie, Huron, Michigan and Superior. From the Falls, the water travels down the Niagara River to Lake Ontario, then to the St. Lawrence River and finally to the Atlantic Ocean.
The Maid of the Mist boat ride and the Cave of the winds tour are the major activities to do in Niagara Falls.
The Maid of the Mist boat tour starts off at a calm part of the Niagara River, near the Rainbow Bridge, and takes its passengers past the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then into the dense mist of spray inside the curve of the Horseshoe Falls, also known as the Canadian Falls.

The Cave of the Winds Tour takes visitors into a stormy mist zone. The journey begins with an elevator ride 175 feet down into the Niagara Gorge. After treading the wooden walkways, it takes the visitors near to the rushing Bridal Veil Falls that creates tropical storm-like conditions.
