The answer to the question “is there a Maid of the Mist on the Canadian side?” is no, there is no Maid of the Mist on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
Since 2014, the Maid of the Mist stopped running in Niagara Falls, Canada. It was replaced by Hornblower Niagara Cruises, the new operators of the Niagara Falls boat tour on the Canadian side.
The route of the iconic Niagara Falls boat tour is similar on both the US and Canadian sides. The tour operators have been different since 2014. Before 2014, both the boat tours were called Maid of the Mist and were operated by the same company.
Hornblower Niagara Cruises, which replaced Maid of the Mist in Niagara Falls Canada, introduced new catamarans that can fit nearly 700 passengers.
In addition to the day tour, Hornblower Niagara Cruises introduced a night tour to see Niagara Falls Illumination and Fireworks. This boat tour is a 40-minute ride on the Niagara River from 9:30 p.m. to 10:10 p.m. and provides the perfect vantage point to view fireworks set off every night in summer at 10:00 p.m.
