Very exciting trip into the rapid of Niagara Falls - We were told on line to arrive 45 minutes early for safety presentation however we spent most of this time sitting around and waiting until the safety presentation the was done 15 minutes prior to departure. It was an exciting ride and the highlight of our trip according to my 7 year old daughter.

Awesome family experience. - Great 45 minutes on the mighty lower Niagara river. Plenty of scenery to take pics of and video. The guide Luke was funny and entertaining at the same time. I would recommend taking the wet ride, you will get soaked. We did not because we wanted the photos and videos. If you want the photos and vids the price for the package is not bad compared to other attractions we have been to. Just book it you'll have a great time.

Dull dry domed boat. - We are a family of 6. 4 children 15, 11, 10 and 4. We had been on the maid of the mist and cave of the winds tour the previous day. We found these much more fun. We did the dry domed boat because my youngest was only four. This would probably have been much more if we had gone outside. So if you are going to take this tour go outside or don’t bother. It’s expensive for what it is.
