Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour

The abundant river water rushes towards you like a thousand horses galloping. Suddenly, the strangers on the boat seem to become the same boat. In the hazy water, you can personally feel the momentum and power of the waterfall. After leaving the storm circle, the cruise ship is like a small boat that has returned from a disaster, swaying towards the American Falls. When the weather is clear, the sunlight and water vapor interweave to form a long and beautiful rainbow, projected in front of the veritable "Rainbow Bridge".
