CANADA // Niagara might not be the highest waterfall in the world, nor the widest, but it's undoubtedly the most well known. In terms of volume, it's one of the greats - thousands of bathtubs of water plummet over the brink every second. Great plumes of icy mist rise like an ethereal veil as the cascade hits the river below. Rainbows pop up and pierce the haze. But you don't just admire this view from afar. Instead, you sail right towards it in a little boat, getting sprayed, soaked and deafened by the thundering water. The falls forms a natural rift between Ontario and New York State: on the US side, Bridal Veil Falls and American Falls let loose. On the Canadian side, the grander Horseshoe Falls plunge downward. Get a room with a view and you'll be unable to tear yourself away.
