Additional Information

For an unforgettable adventure in Niagara, embark on an exhilarating ride down the Niagara River in an open-air jet boat. There’s no better—or wetter—way to take in the stunning scenery and incredible white water of the Niagara River. You’ll dive into what we call our white water playground, where the Class V Devil’s Hole Rapids will drench you completely. Following this heart-pounding experience, you’ll journey upriver to the trip’s farthest point to witness the renowned Niagara Whirlpool. The Whirlpool and Niagara Falls are divided by a stretch of Class VI rapids that are both unnavigable and illegal to cross. This tour starts and ends on the American side.

Wet and Wild and Super Fun - Was leary of my booking, after the fact due to age, etc. Had a wonderful time with my granddaughter. Yes, we got soaked sitting a row from the back, but so much fun!! Guides helped me in and out of boat.

So much fun - My husband and I did this as part of our 25th anniversary and had so much. I would highly recommend doing this if you are visiting the falls.

Get ready for fun!! - This was so much fun! We didn't even know it existed until we hiked down the gorge and saw the boats. So we immediately went and booked a tour. It was a little chilly that day, but it turned out to be fine. This was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Soaking it Up - FUN, FUN, and MORE FUN! It was me and my 13yr old son. We've done a speed boat tour in Pictured Rocks, MI that we loved and this was equally as fun! The staff was friendly and had great energy. I was skeptical that we would really get wet and thankfully I was wrong. We were soaked! It was a cloudy day but the air was warm. We seriously considered going a second time. We purchased the photo package and the pics aren't awesome but I knew that would be tough the video of our experience was worth the price. This experience was our highlight of our trip to NY.
