Taking the Maid of the Mist to see Niagara Falls from below—and getting wet in the process—is a longtime tourist tradition. Now, the Maid of the Mist operation has gone green. The iconic boat tour, which has been running since 1846, launched two new all-electric, zero-emission catamarans to cruise along the Niagara River and up to the falls.
