You’ll need the supplied plastic poncho for this ferry boat excursion deep into the wild waters right beneath the Falls — no matter where you stand on the ships, you’re going to get drenched. But it’s worth it for the amazing views of Niagara Falls the boat allows (and the cool-off you’ll get on a scorching hot summer day). Keep in mind that there are no seats on the boat, so you may need to hold small children for the duration of the half-hour tour.
