A wonderful thundering wet adventure where you get to see the falls
closer than you had ever dared. This attraction takes you where it claims to,
BEHIND the falls. You get to feel the spray of mist across your face and take
fascinating pictures from behind the falls that will be the envy of your
friends. This journey takes only 30-45 minutes and you get to see the falls
rushing before you at 65 km/h (40 mph).
Entering through the Table Rock House you get a bio-degradable raincoat
for everyone that is going. There are two caves that run behind the Horseshoe
Falls that guests get to walk around in and the waterfall is visible through
the cave entrances.

Adults (13+): $14.95
