  Journey Behind the Falls is one of the most iconic attractions at Niagara Falls, allowing visitors to experience the power of the waterfall from a unique perspective.

  Niagara Falls

  Niagara Falls is made up of three separate waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Horseshoe Falls, located mostly on the Canadian side, is the largest and most powerful, known for its curved shape and massive flow of water. American Falls sits entirely on the U.S. side and features a wide cascade that crashes over large boulders at the base. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls is separated from American Falls by Luna Island and is named for its delicate, veil-like appearance. Together, these three waterfalls form one of the most famous natural attractions in the world.
