3 Reasons to Take the Canadian Boat Tour for Rainbow Photos

Better angle for rainbow shots The Hornblower tour approaches Horseshoe Falls head-on, while the US-side Maid of the Mist runs more parallel to the falls. This direct angle makes it easier to frame the rainbow with the full falls.

Prime afternoon light In the afternoon, the sun is behind you, hitting the mist from behind. This creates larger, more vivid rainbows that arc across the base of the falls.

More reliable rainbow conditions Rainbows on the US side are smaller and harder to frame. The Canadian boat gives you consistent sun-mist alignment for the classic shot.
