The options we compare across booking platforms typically range from $40 to $99, with a median price of around $65. While the full spread can go as low as $31 or as high as $318 depending on whether you choose a private experience, most standard tours sit comfortably within that core band.

Private tours make up a significant share of the available options, accounting for roughly half (56%) of the listings we compare. If you prefer flexibility and personalized attention over a group dynamic, this format is widely available. Reviews frequently highlight fantastic guides and exceptional experiences, suggesting that the extra cost for privacy often delivers a highly recommended result.

Sightseeing tours appear to be the sweet spot for value. They average a strong rating of 4.47 stars while costing around $51, which is at or below the typical price point yet rated above the overall average. These tours focus on nature and are offered in multiple languages, making them a reliable choice for first-time visitors.

Most tours last between 2 and 3 hours, with a median duration of about 2 hours. This timeframe allows enough time to see the falls during the golden hour without taking up your entire morning, leaving plenty of room for other activities later in the day.

• Hotel pickup and drop-off is included in roughly 44% of the tours.
• Equipment is provided in about 33% of the options.

It is worth checking the specific listing details to see if transport or refreshments are covered before booking.
