Niagara’s Horseshoe Falls Boat Tour
June 4, 2023 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
We went on our Niagara Falls boat tour, in which we literally road right into the falls and got drenched. We had waterproof (IP68) pouches for our phones so we could take pictures without risking them.
We booked 10:30 as our time to ride it, but we got on early because the crowd wasn’t too bad this early.
I took a full 9 minute 4K video of our ride, but Find Penguins has a video limit.Read more

We got ice cream at Sweet Jesus, and it was amazing. The toppings were insane, and the ice cream itself was better than most.
