Niagara Falls has many attractions, and you might need to stay more than a week to see all of them.
While you can admire Niagara Falls from various vantage points, a Niagara Falls Boat Cruise on the Niagara River is the only way one can feel the full force and might of the waterfalls.
Niagara Falls can be seen from the US side as well as the Canadian side. The US side Niagara Falls boat cruise is called Maid of the Mist while the Canadian side tour is called Hornblower Niagara Cruises.
Hornblower Niagara Cruises operates day and evening boat cruises to see the Falls from close quarters:

Hornblower Niagara Cruises is located on Niagara Parkway at the foot of Clifton Hill. Passengers descend into the Niagara Gorge via the funicular railway.
All passengers are provided complimentary rain ponchos (to protect against spray from the waterfalls).
The boat tour takes passengers close to the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls – the 3 waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. As the boat enters the basin of Horseshoe Falls, you are deafened by the roar of all the cascading water.
As the water falls over the cliff edge into the gorge, it creates a spatter and heavy mist that will have you soaking wet. It is the most exhilarating experience being in the centre of the Falls.
