Jacob, you document your adventures so well that I feel like I went with you. Thanks for all the hard work you do!

Now only one authentic Niagara adventure remains for Carpetbagger to have, to go over the Falls in a Barrel.

I admit I bawled like a baby when I saw the falls. I had never seen a waterfall and it was a bucket list time for me. So when we went to New York to visit my husband's family he said we had to swing up to see the falls. I am so glad he did. It was amazing.

[@karenstraw7301]

I've Lived here All my life for 50yrs it never grows Old for me this is the Exact reason why I Love Being in Niagara Falls so much It's A Thing of Wonder and Beauty. Try the Niagara Jet boats Next then eat at the Silo, try the Silo Special Haystack and Ice cream at our famous Caboose you will Love it Jacob. Thank you for coming to my side of town I really enjoyed this video

[@gabrielapaulinho1luv]

I love Niagara Falls, NY; Lewiston, NY; and Youngstown, NY. As a non-driver, I'm very, very thankful to the Discover Niagara shuttles for transporting us around. On my New York State bucket list is eating at the Silo.

[@karenstraw7301]

@@gabrielapaulinho1luv Eating at the Silo You will Not be disappointed the Food is So Yummy and you really get a Great view of the Falls eating at the Top of the Silo. Please try Famous Haystack You'll want another one. 😁♥️

Through the years my wife and I took our kids to the falls but never went on the horn blower so thanks for taking me on those two boats 🛳️🛟⚓️ Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍

[@bryanthompson7373]

I got to visit Niagara Falls back in 1986, and riding the boats was one of the coolest parts of the visit, other than getting to experience the tunnels BEHIND the Falls. Have you had a chance to explore those tunnels? They are accessed from the Canadian side.

[@unicorn063]

You can just feel the power of the falls it’s a honor and a glory to see and visit each side

[@RibeyeSuze]

Great vid! Reminds me of when Pam and Jim (on The Office) went and got married on the Maid of the Mist ❤️💕

[@TommyTravels]

Now there's an adventure that I need to add to my bucket list! Two Niagara boat rides from two countries in one day! Well done Jacob!

[@mikehughes4969]

I've been to the falls, and they are truly breathtaking. Video and pictures simply can't do them justice. Been on the Maid of the Misr, but not the Hornblower, and I have a picture of a 13 or 14 year old me in front of the ship's wheel. You used to be able to go behind the falls, at one point you're only ten feet away from a solid wall of water. But as I understand it, you can't do that anymore. Also, I'm glad you brought up the hat. It was a little weird to see you without it. You should never go on an Adventure without your hat.🤠

[@warmlantern0000]

👆 But don't loose your hat Jacob. 😊

[@TomOfQuincy]

The United States and Canada's shared treasure- Niagara Falls 🇺🇲🇨🇦

[@gabrielapaulinho1luv]

Yes!!!☮️💞

[@alliekuma4234]

I love how you did both sides right after the other. That's awesome lol

[@danielbagley3679]

Beautiful thanks for showing that never been

[@OldMovieRob]

Looks pretty cool, but also very drenching. I hope Niagara means more trips to some of the wax museums up there!

[@cherylzamule888]

Hi Jacob 👋 I really love the falls. It is a relaxing place! I probably have been there at least a dozen times. We would go for a long weekend. I remember going with my parents and sister when i was a teenager for the first time. In those days you wore heavy raincoats and boots. So much nicer having the disposable and sanitary. Great video 📹 Have a nice day.

[@darlenehenry1742]

Thank you Jacob that was fantastic 😊

[@unicorn063]

Thankyou Jacob for taking us on these tour boats I have never been on the boats so to see it close and personal through your eyes is awesome 👏 Thankyou ❤❤❤❤❤

[@nadiaborzacchini1987]

That was fun tgat for taking us i always wanted to vistit what a gift be safe

[@SmokyMountainBlessed]

really enjoyed the experience through your video thanks for showing us the difference in the 2 boats

[@mcwatersd]

That was really cool that you did both sides . The rainbow was beautiful .Niagara falls is awesome. .It has been a while since I have been. Seeing it at night and in winter would be amazing . Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤

[@mattweaver8197]

There's 2 pressed penny machines up in the building going towards the hard rock Cafe in the lower level. Loved seeing the Falls up that close again. Safe Travels

[@SharonMorgan-gb9qe]

I remember when I was a kid in the 70s they didn’t have disposable ponchos. They had thick yellow ones that everyone used. 😊

[@bayfox1235]

Omg what a great time thank you carpetbagger 😊

[@lissachocolate]

Felt like I was next to you, just amazing! Plus, rainbow! Went on Maid of the Mist when I was little, remember how loud the roar of the water is. The slickers back then were heavier and were reused.

[@unicorn063]

Living in Rochester I have had the glorious chance to see the falls in the winter and Summer . I have even been in the Hilton hotel in Canada at the highest room . We would crack the windows and feel the mist was very Glorious both day and night . The light show on the falls is breathtaking ❤❤❤❤

[@andywood5699]

I went on the Maid of the Mist in the 80s and wore one of those those big blue rubber raincoats they used to have. It cost about 5 bucks to go on the boat. WOW. things have changed.

[@Devils1674]

That chocolate bar in the gift shop would be pronounced C-ay N-ay D-ay. C-A-N-A-D-A. EH being the stereotypical Canadian word

[@gc4644]

You beat me to it, can't believe Jacob didn't figure that one out..

[@maryblaufuss7533]

@@gc4644 You have to live a little closer to Canada to have been made aware of the speech patterns of Canadians. I'm guessing that's something Jenn would have known, eh? Re: the chocolate bar. It's the old joke, how do you spell Canada? C, eh? N, eh? D, eh?

[@lizlocher3612]

The Maid of the Mist was superb!! The rainbow 🌈 was TOTALLY cool. I never saw one that close to the water!!! I bet the Falls lit up at night 🌉 would be phenomenal n with fireworks 🎇 added, unbelievable!!! That's when I would love to see them. I have NEVER in 66 yrs seen the falls!!! Too bad the Crow's Nest was closed, as I KNOW you would have gone up there for SURE!! Wonderful video!!! Over 180 yrs as a roadside attractions must be the record!!! Attaboy, Carpetbagger!!!

[@rhysphil9332]

I went on Maid of the Mist two years ago and still remember it so clearly. The experience of all that water was so powerful!

[@mgarringerkcify]

I went behind the falls twice, and been on the Maid of the mist with my grandparents. Love the Falls. Thanks for posting. Brings back memories. Michelle from Omaha

[@sandrap6321]

So close to pretty Seneca Falls, NY...place inspired film Its a Wonderful Life. Also start of women's liberation movement. So much to see & do there if looking for something to do next.

[@deborahmcdermott6927]

Back in the late 80s, both sides were the Maid of the Mist. We rode from the Canadian side. Amazing!

[@lizlocher3612]

WOW!!! What a cool experience on the Hornblower in Canada. The Horseshoe Falls are magnificent!!! Love the red poncho!!

[@StraightThruTheHeart]

Carpetbagger is a legend!

[@mariehendrick7173]

Oh wow this Is just so wonderful!!!!!. The power of nature amazing you have done a really wonderful job of filming this and both boat's you are spoiling us all.!!! XXX

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Yeah, just about! Although, ever since Hornblower moved in, I'd wanted to ride both, to compare them. Who can afford that? Well, some people, but not me. But, Jacob's got me covered! Thanks, man!

[@conniemoore3051]

Be sure to go to the Cave of the Winds, it gets you up close and personal with the falls, and tickets must be purchased at the Cave of the Winds Plaza on Goat Island.

[@Neverhome365]

If you don’t go on this you’re really missing out! You can get right under the American falls at the end so two attractions for one!! I did the cave of the winds my first time there. Now that I know you can go on the boat and under the American falls with a sweet observation tower yes please every time!!!! I want to go to the Canadian side because I think you can get into the old Hydro plant tunnel now. Sounds epic to get closer to the horseshoe.

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

I would love to visit Niagara falls, but I doubt that I will ever get to visit.

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

Thanks Jacob for streaming

[@syedhamidi5643]

You are too cute with the poncho 😂. I bet Jacob drank a lot of the falls water on the boat 🤣🤣

[@nurseydebdeb8539]

I have always wanted to see the falls it is on my bucket list. I still cannot believe people went over the falls in a barrel crazy!!!! That water color was so pretty. That looked like a great time!!!

[@user-wt8en6lj1k]

I've been "cheering for nature" a bit myself - first the eclipse in Missouri, and now in Hot Springs, Arkansas, which is a lot warmer now than when you attempted to escape the snow & ice during your Choose My Adventure Road Trip.

[@cindyhenning7832]

I was there in 2004 gosh it’s been along while! What a beautiful trip

[@kellypostek8024]

When the wheather gets warmer. You need to go into the cave of the winds usa. Great job!

[@kellypostek8024]

Buffalo has an awsome history musium.

[@nataliecrow6533]

That was a cool idea to do both boat rides of the falls. I have been on the Maid of the Mist. I laughed so hard when you were taking off your Maid of the Mist poncho you got photobombed by a guy’s crack when he sat down 🤣

[@mariehendrick7173]

This all trip Is so on my bucket list what a wonderful place a true wonder... Glad we have all come along with you.. XXX

Very cool Jacob! We’ve done the maid of the mist in the past. Be well.

[@VJazzman701]

I want to visit but when I stay I want the Superman 2 suite!!!

[@MrMikepresley]

You gotta make trip to the Falls in the Winter time, its actually prettier, all the mist creates ice on the surrounding trees in the areas; its also colder around the area of the Falls. The Canadian side has the prettiest winter views (imho) also on winter nights when the falls do their light-shows its spectacular with the colored lights hitting the trees, sky-lines and icy waters, its a must-see in the winter!

[@allensherrill850]

I hate that about plastic bags. Can’t ever open them easily! Jacob, did you know that a person waits in a line , on average, five years out of his life? You maybe even more. I congratulate you ❤

[@maryblaufuss7533]

The secret to putting some respect into an uncooperative plastic bag? Lick your fingertips and then rub the edge of the bag between your thumb and your first two fingers. (Of course, this is a bad idea during pandemic time or if you're about to hand the newly-opened bag to someone who is likely to say, "Eww. Yeah, that's ok; I'm good.")

While you in upstate New York you should check out the Medina Rail Road museum, it's in an old train station and it's one of the biggest train models I've ever seen, it's in a small town called Medina New York it's on the Erie canal, with a cute down town, I grew up there and was actually just there for the eclipse

[@cathpeterson1944]

awesome boat tours on the falls, I was at Niagara few years ago I want to go again

I went on the US side when I visited my brother up in Syracuse. It was a great thing to see.

[@thedogzoo]

Well done Jacob. Magnificent video. Thank you! ❤

[@robylove9190]

You had a day of good wet fun ❤

[@minavane5533]

If I had to choose which tour to take I would choose Maid of the Mist because there weren't as many people and therefore you have a better view. The view was fine on The Hornblower but you got some great footage on the Maid of the Mist. Maybe they limit how many people are on the boat more so you can see better.

[@NKsEntertainment]

Nice 👍, recently enjoyed Maid of the Mist

[@bg199083]

My family and I went on the Maid of the Mist YEARS. It was a lot of fun! Glad you went on that Jacob!

[@sharlenehinos4531]

Hi There Carpetbagger. Hope you check out the Butterfly Consortium a few miles out of Niagara Falls the town. Loved re-riding the boats. So Cool.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

I have visited butterfly gardens. (St. Louis has one.) They are a lot of fun because the butterflies are often very tame and are likely to land on you. Hot weather time is a good time to visit because the butterflies like sweat.

[@maryblaufuss7533]

Jacob, please visit The Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls, Ont. someday. The building was once a museum that was filled with moldering mummies and moth-eaten taxidermy. Now it's a sort of bird zoo, although they have a few other types of animals as well. The birds fly loose all around you. Try to visit during the off-season, when the birds are calmer if it's not crowded and you can view them better. I almost forgot to mention the NF Aquarium on the NY side. They have fish (obviously), a sea lion show and a penguin exhibit.

[@mcbowl58]

That sounds awesome !

[@suemoo22]

That’s awesome, I’d love to go. I think I would bring my own poncho that wasn’t so thin and not very good protection.
