5 Things to Know About Sunset Cruises at Niagara Falls
- Hornblower Niagara Cruises departs from the Canadian side, while Maid of the Mist runs evening sailings from the U.S. side.
- Both offer sunset cruises, but schedules shift with the season and weather, so check ahead before planning.
- A sunset boat ride past the falls is worth the extra effort for the dramatic lighting and fewer crowds.
- Book tickets in advance, as sunset sailings often sell out quickly during peak season.
- Dress warmly and bring a waterproof layer, as mist and cooler evening temperatures are guaranteed.
