After a long, harsh winter which saw part of Niagara Falls frozen, it is finally warm once again in Niagara Falls, Canada.
Summer is the perfect time to visit Niagara Falls. The most popular attraction in town, Hornblower Niagara Cruises, is officially open for the 2019 season.
The daytime boat tour is a 20-minute tour that sails through the Niagara Gorge to the base of Niagara Falls. The catamaran gets so close to the Falls you are drenched by its misty spray.
There is an indoor section if you want to stay dry during the boat tour, but the best view and experience is from the open deck.
The opening and closing times vary throughout the season, but it is usually open at 8:30-9:00 a.m.
The best time to go for the Niagara Falls boat ride is early in the morning as soon as it is open. The crowds are fewer and the wait time is less.
Midday to late afternoon, you might have to wait for more than an hour to board the boat. The waiting time is also less towards closing time.
So, the best time to go for the Niagara Falls boat ride is either early in the morning or towards closing time.
Book the Falls Fireworks Cruise if you want to see the fireworks display at 10:00 p.m.
