My guide Mark was personable and knowledgeable about the area. I made new friends from Australia

It's so worth the time. Pictures do not convey the majesty of the Falls. I would strongly recommend taking the tour.

Emma was amazing!

Wear shoes that you can walk in after you get wet. You will get wet. Emma was an amazing guide and gave us lots of little tips that were invaluable. We are on our annual sister trip and this was one of the few things we booked on our trip. We are so glad we booked the full tour and not just the Maid of the Mist because the Cave of the Winds was amazing as well.
