The power of one of the biggest waterfalls in the world will make your heart beat faster and your memories last longer! At daytime - bright and strong water stream that creates shimmering mist, turns into soft whispering flow surrounded by spectacular illumination of the whole area…That’s where the magic begins…

To help you plan a vacation by the Wonder of the World, the following list of attractions will help you choose what exactly you’d like to experience.

1. The Niagara Falls consists of American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. American and Bridal Veil Falls are located on the US side and separated by Luna Island. The curving horseshoe-shaped Horseshoe Falls separates USA from Canada

2. Maid of the Mist boat ride must be #1 attraction you’ll have to visit! The boat will bring you up the river, passing the American and Bridal Veil Falls and then stop in the strongest part, the epicenter of the cataract- bottom of the Horseshoe Falls!
