This place is THE BEST place to rent kayaks/canoes on the Erie Canal. It is perfectly located…read moreright by the chute entrance into the canal, making it so simple to rent and be in the water in seconds. The chute entrance into the canal is suited for anyone - but especially useful for elders or those with mobility issues. But the best part of Erie Canal Boat Company in Fairport is the owner Pete. He wants everyone to love boating and get the best experience possible. First he has and knows everything about the equipment and will get you perfectly situated for what you need to have an amazing time out on the water. What really shines is his personality though... Pete is a giver and is generous with his time, expertise and enthusiasm for paddling. He not only runs the shop, but helps get you in and out of the boat and safely in and out of the canal. He loves what he does and he loves helping you get out and enjoying the canal. His enthusiasm is contagious. He is simply THE BEST!!! We had the best time this morning and can't wait to spend many days this summer out on the water with Pete's help. Just be brave and go. It's the most wonderful feeling!

The water was clean in some parts and not in others. There were a few large branches we had to avoid. We got a quick good lesson on kayaking before we went into the water; it was very helpful. Our kayaking journey was absolutely beautiful. We passed a whole lot of ducks. They really kept us entertained. We passed a cute park, went through some gorgeous neighborhoods. Overall, there were a lot of trees on the shore by the canal so it felt very serene. I would recommend kayaking here! :)

A Niagara Falls boat ride is the must do and quintessential activity...its awesome! YOU WILL GET…read moreWET!!! Any grand illusions you had about maintaining a cute hairstyle or dry shoes will instantly evaporate into the blinding mist. The plastic protection only partially protects. The short and slowing moving boat slowly cruises past the American Falls, then onto the epic Horseshoe Falls and back in about 30 minutes...one of the best 30 minutes of my life. The America Falls is the foreplay, nice, gentler, and beautiful...but Horseshoe Falls is like a long lasting wet climax that shocks and electrifies your body soul. The sheer power of the water is undeniably humbling. By the time the boat turns around and brings you back to safety, you will emerge thoroughly soaked, wildly exhilarated, and oddly proud of surviving the world's wettest, slowest, and sexiest boat tour. $48 CAD / $35 USD isn't cheap, but worth every penny.

In the mist of the Falls, my brother turned to me and said "everyone's got to do this at least once…read morein their life" and I couldn't agree more! For CAD $48 (~$35 USD) you can sail to the heart of the Niagara Falls! Everyone is provided their signature red poncho to protect your belongings. You can enjoy the view from the indoor cabin or get the full watery experience outside by the side rails or top deck. I chose the bow rails and got absolutely soaked! The views of the falls from up close were truly stunning and unforgettable! This is a must do when visiting the Niagara Falls! Don't miss out!

Because I bought my ticket with the nys wine card it was a VIP ticket so we boarded before general admission.

I think we will have to do it again next year. There was 3 cruises to choose from and if you are reading this they still have one more cruise in October for this year. Great time and wonderful fun people.

Introduction to Rochester, NY Trip & Day at Niagara Falls/Buffalo:…read more Now onto the 1st review of the scrapbook series since my girlfriend & I got in a relationship. Representing 1st of 2 from April 2024 is Maid of the Mist. In January 2024 before our relationship started, a friend called me invited me to their relationship love ceremony, not an actual marriage but exchanging vows when the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 was happening over western NY, more specifically in his birthplace, Rochester. On February 29, 2024, during my girlfriend & I's 6th date, we were talking about the logistics of the trip. It was very early on to be planning this trip, but we knew the relationship was going great. We stayed 3 nights at the AirBnB in Rochester, and we had a great time together on the trip. One of the days the group took a day trip to Niagara Falls. Thankfully, it was just the 2 of us in her car both ways, which in all honesty was a nice break from the group. Experience with Maid of the Mist: Besides simply going to Niagara Falls, admiring the great views of the falls, & taking photos, which is great to begin with, going on the Maid of the Mist is a must do for a Niagara Falls trip. Both the US & Canada sides have Maid of the Mist. You go down a ways to the water level, given a blue pancho which says Maid of the Mist, because you do get wet from the water spray, and you board the boat. The boat takes you to the various falls, and it's really cool getting the water sprayed on you, both metaphorically & literally cool. April 9th average high temperature is a bone chilling 52 F, and it really is bone chilling when water is spraying on you. But we really lucked out, it was an unseasonably warm 80 F in Niagara Falls, which was a record high for them. The timing of this total solar eclipse & their love ceremony was what was it was. In general, summer is the best time to do Maid of the Mist, when it's very likely to be warm out. In summary, if in Niagara Falls, try to go to Maid of the Mist unless it's extremely cold or bad weather. Even if it had been that 52 F high average temp, I'm sure we would've done, but would've been more bundled up for it.

Absolutely fabulous time riding Maid of the Mist into the heart of Niagara Falls…read more Check in was super easy and after a short elevator down to the water, we were given a poncho and thanks goodness for that. You will get wet. A small change of position from the boat seems to bring sheets of water onto the decks. Judging from everyone's faces, we were all enjoying ourselves. I highly recommend this.

Updated review 8/9/26…read more Another great WNY/Buffalo summer experience. I have increased my rating of the Moondance catamaran boat ride, leaving the Erie Basin Marina. Even though the boat does not sail out onto a Lake Erie as far as one would expect, $28 for a cruise at sunset especially is definitely worth it. The views of the Buffalo skyline, the lit up silo and the Naval Park, are spectacular from the water. Next year, I'm considering buying a season pass. This way I can enjoy the sailing anytime I want. as much as I want during the sailing season. Cocktails are reasonably priced on board. You're allowed to bring your own food and snacks from home. The music to accompany the tour was a little loud at first, but then turn down which was appreciated. The captain and his crew were friendly and gave good advice on before the sail began. The ramp from the dock makes it easy for those with disabilities to board and exit the ship. There are two bathrooms below deck. But they do require some stairs to go down.
