Yes, every passenger on the Maid of the Mist boat tour at Niagara Falls is provided with a complimentary, hooded souvenir rain poncho. This is a functional necessity rather than just a souvenir, as the boat travels directly into the heavy mist and spray generated by the Horseshoe Falls. The ponchos are typically blue on the American side (Maid of the Mist) and red on the Canadian side (Niagara City Cruises). While the poncho provides excellent coverage for your torso and head, it is important to note that you will likely still get wet, particularly your feet and lower legs, due to the sheer volume of water in the air. In 2026, the tour continues its tradition of collecting used ponchos for recycling at the end of the trip, or you can keep yours as a memento of your journey into the heart of the falls.
