@TwoTravelingTexans6 years ago The Cave of the Winds is a must in Niagara. You really get a sense for the power of the Falls. It isn't called the Hurricane Deck for nothing! 7

@

@AllAboutFamilyTravel7 years ago What an awesome experience to observe this world famous waterfall so close. I have visited Niagara Falls several times and only once I took a boat tour to see the waterfalls closer. This was literally 20 years ago and I believe "The Cave of Winds" didn't exist at that time. But now I would love to come back and take the similar boat trip or "Cave of Winds" with my wife and my daughter. ... 2
@

@CultureTrekking7 years ago I have only ever seen people do the boat tour, that is really cool that they let you walk up and stand under a part of the falls. I haven't been there but will definitely be doing the walking tour once I get there. 1

@

@NomadicBuff6 years ago That gushing water is awesome! The power of water is really incredible! No wonder they have to rebuild the stairs every year. So cool that you got to stand right in the thick of all that water on the hurricane deck. Looks like a cool place ...

@Familytravelgo6 years ago Niagara Falls is so fun! I didn’t know they had to rebuild the steps that often but it makes since. I bet it’s hard to build them with the falls flowing like that. So fun to be so close to it!

@

@WanderingWagars7 years ago I loved visiting the Cave of the Winds last summer with my kids! I have to say it though, the poncho does nothing! It just gives the water something to hold onto while it soaks you to the bone :) 1

@

@LauraSideStreet7 years ago Wow what an incredible experience! It looks like it's really coming down with so much force, a bit scary but would love to do this 1
@

@Melandjona7 years ago Haha this video reminds us so much of visiting Milford Sound in NZ.
We got just as soaked, and didn't even have full ponchos! Good fun though. Haha 1
@

@ParichayMehta7 years ago I've never seen Niagara falls THIS close in any video till now! It does look majestic! :O 1
@

@TravellingDany7 years ago This had us all excited because we're going this September and we can't wait! I'm going to show the video to my wife, she's going to flip!!! 1
@

@kateboisvert23447 years ago "I can smell the birds, but you can't smell the birds" HAHAHAHA <3 1

@

@JustinPlusLauren6 years ago Even though I live nearby (Canadian side), I still haven't done this attraction! Wow. You get so close here! It's incredible! And I see why you need the poncho ;)
@

@

@jimatics89065 years ago That is amazing!!!!! I had no idea you could do this!!!!!!!!!

@iamfoodietraveler7 years ago I think I would be sooooo scared to do this! It's impressive indeed. 1
@

@KingTolentino6 years ago what an experience...that falls looks massive an powerful... looks like a struggle going near the falls... :)
@

@LookWhosBlogging7 years ago dang, that's a lot of birds. i'd be afraid to get pooped on. is this on the US or Canadian side? how did you keep your camera from getting wet? 5
@

@TheRealMeowMeowShow5 years ago I have never been but this makes me want to go visit! @ nice!
@

@LaNuevaAndaluza6 years ago wooaahhhh that looks incredible!And freaking scary lmao!! 1
@

@BangsBucketList7 years ago Wow! That's really strong water current! First time to see Niagara Falls this close. I wonder how hard it is to build and maintain those stairs and tourists decks. 1
@

@1adventuretraveler8527 years ago Wow, great video on the Cave Winds. You were up close and personal to the Niagara Falls. How exciting. I am so ready to visit there. ... 1
@

@DesiCoupleOnTheGo7 years ago So many of my friends have gone to Niagara falls .. but they never talked to me about the Hurricane deck .. would really like to go and feel it myself . 1
@

@billd94585 years ago That is actually the American Falls. I have been on this deck and it truly is incredible. The Horseshoe Falls is the falls that everyone usually sees when watching videos and seeing pictures. The Horseshoe Falls is just a bit further up the river. I also recommend going on the Maid of the Mist. ...
@

@ChasingTheOddShapedBall7 years ago Wow this looks so unreal and so dangerous at the same time. Hope to visit Niagara Falls soon. 1
7 years ago Haha, I remember when we did the same trip, we got soaked as well! :) 1
@

@PURELifeMedia5 years ago Haha that looks intense! I'm surprised more people didn't slip and fall! I think that would probably be me lol
@

@CarterCorner6 years ago Oh my goodness, I never actually knew you could get that close to the falls! You guys must have been freezing after this. It's definitely a neat experience though!
@

@SkyelinesandSunsets6 years ago Wow we'd love to do this! Even if you do get soaked looks like so much fun. Did the ponchos even help in the end? Haha 🙂 2
@

@RoadVentureRV5 years ago Look everyone is wearing same outfits! 😂 great video so amazing an beautiful ❤
@

@xfiler-gl7nc6 years ago I have a question, do they make you sign a waiver for this attraction? I noticed you stated they rebuild those stairs every year?? I’m assuming those are wooden and not concrete steps and the platform underneath is not concrete. ... 1
@

@TheLakersFan4Lyfe6 years ago What time of year did you visit? Was there a long line to get in? We are going in July this year and I'm a little worried about long lines in the sun... 1
@

@InspectahDek6 years ago HOLY so many Seagulls. Looks like a great experience - Is this from the American side? I've only been on the Canadian side but done the Maid of the Mist and walking behind the falls... cool video!
@

@HiralPandya5 years ago Niagara Falls is just mesmerizing. Is this on American side? I have been twice but both times on Canadian side.
@

@petermoyes87666 years ago I LIVED IN THE FALLS ,they have to repair every thing after winter ,,this just becomes ,part of the ice bridge that forms in winter ,across the falls ,on real bad winters its just all ice caves ...............I LOVE MY CANADA ...
@

@travelquartz6 years ago I cant believe you captured so well the tropical storm force conditions there. I felt like I was visiting there. I bet it was cold touching the falls. Did those wet suits help at all? 1
@

@cultureatz6 years ago Is that on the American side, I have only been to the Candian side. LOL I bet it is cold. Looks intense but lots if fun.
@

@captainmacoy5 years ago that falls looks amazing but looks dangerous too on the edge, how much the entrance fee? I subbed you as well, I'm your number five hundred ninety five.
@

@myfamilytravelzone39366 years ago The cave of the winds sounds very attractive from the beginning. Wow, this place is so amazing. I understand why you need this protection from the rain. Is it possible to go with the kids there?
@

@petermoyes87666 years ago i lived in the falls for 12 yrs ,,the jet boats are wicked fun ,and you better hang on and strap up ,if you go in ,you are dead ,,the whirlpool rabids have claimed many lives ,,the wind tunnel is a blast ,,,and the fishing ,OUT OF THIS WORLD ,,,and further below ,,lake ontario ,,takes in what lake erie can send her ......... I LOVE CANADA ...
