Is the boat still called Hornblower?

On the Canadian side it is Niagara City Cruises. People still say Hornblower and Maid of the Mist. Same dock idea: catamaran into the Horseshoe, typically May–November.

Do you guarantee helicopter weather?

No. If the pad is down we convert the window to Table Rock and the Parkway, or we move the day.

The Canadian boat

Niagara City Cruises is the only Falls boat on the Canadian side. We hold at the lower landing. Ponchos at their window. We do not bundle a cruise ticket into the charter so we can call it “from C$99.”

Tunnels, tower, wire, air, water

Journey Behind the Falls is 125 feet of bedrock and a deck in the mist. Skylon is dinner or a view. The Spanish Aero Car crosses the Whirlpool. Niagara Helicopters is ten minutes over all three Falls. Whirlpool Jet Boat is the Class-5 gorge, seasonal.

Every one of those is a ticket you can buy cheaper at the source than inside a tour bundle. Our job is the cabin and the hold.
