    Cave of the winds, Maid of the Mist, AeroCar over the whirlpools, Jet Boats in the Whirlpools, and loads of other tourist attraction type stuff (which I like to avoid).

    Btw Monty, keep in mind that there will be long queues for most of this stuff, so that will take time. And they have some sort of a shuttle bus, called the "people mover". Get a ticket for one of these. Once you have a ticket, you can get on and off these buses any number of times, and they stop at each attraction. They are lifesavers - seriously consider getting a ticket

      Indeed. Because most of the attractions have limited/no parking right beside them.

        Cave of the winds is on the US side where Longreach will not be going, Maid of the mist. Spanish Aerocar, Jetboats and People Mover are all seasonal and will be closed. The Canadian side journey behind the falls tunnels are open year round.

          My bad. The thing on the Canadian Side is called "Journey Behind the falls". It's awesome. You really get to be "up close and personal" with the falls.
