Worth it! - Great commentary and beautiful views. Well worth the $40 per person. Useful advice on a trip up to the First Basin as well.

Beautiful gorge with plenty of photo opportunities - The gorge was beautiful and worth seeing. It’s only a short trip as the part of the gorge that can be accessed by boat isn’t very long. We went back to walk further into the gorge which is well worth doing

Disappointing - Unfortunately we paid for a cataract gorge cruise and we never went there. We just did a cruise up and down the river. We understand it was due to inclement weather, however there was no correspondence from the tour operator to advise us of this. We found out after the cruise started. We wouldn't have paid 80 dollars for the experience we had
