Getting ready to get soaked by the waterfall mist!
The crew and the other passengers watch me from the safety within the boat, while I suit up in my arctic rain gear and get drenched by the giant waterfall outside. The captain drives the nose to the edge of the falls.
The aftermath of bathing in the falls... mmmmm, salty! Taste the rainbow!
A circular rainbow.
My backup camera's lens gets wet.
Giant wall-sculptures of blackflies or sandflies.

The plates that are used to serve dinner have a hand-painted boat.

They have a map of the world (with 2 Europes and where New Zealand is the center of the map), which they use to pinpoint where their customers hail from. This is just from this year. They have 3 more from the previous years.
Many Americans have taken this cruise.
