It’s a promise: you will get soaked during this wet and wild trip to the famous white waters of the Niagara Whirlpool. Don’t forget to bring along a change of clothes for after the ride, as this tour is certain to make a splash! We have disposable ponchos available, but they aren’t guaranteed to keep you 100% dry.

The jet boat tours are fully guided and your river guide will provide an entertaining commentary throughout your ride. The trip lasts approximately 45 minutes (from departure from the dock to return back to the dock) and may just be the most exciting tour of Niagara you will find!

The Niagara Gorge Jet Boat Tour, which has been delighting visitors to Niagara for over 25 years, has been featured on CBS - Early Morning, The Amazing Race - Family Edition, the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel and the Outdoor Life Network.

Additional Information

Embark on an exhilarating adventure down the Niagara River in an open-top jet boat for an unforgettable Niagara experience. This is the most exciting - and certainly the most damp - way to admire the breathtaking landscape and awe-inspiring white waters of Niagara River.

We invite you to what we usually refer to as our white water playground, where the Class V Devil’s Hole Rapids won’t hesitate to drench you. After this electrifying event, you will journey upstream to the final destination of the trip, the renowned Niagara Whirlpool.

The Whirlpool and Niagara Falls are divided by a series of Class VI rapids, too dangerous and unlawful to navigate through. This excursion begins from the Canadian side and ends at the same location. 

  • Arrive promptly 45 minutes prior to departure time to register, sign participation agreement and hear pre-trip safety orientation. If you miss the safety orientation, we will move you to the next available trip time without notice (which could be the next day) so it is important to arrive on time.
  • The participation agreement thoroughly explains to anyone interested in the trip, all pertinent aspects of jet-boating including personal health requirements. Refusal to sign the agreement will not merit a credit or refund.
  • Wheelchair accessibility - if assistance is required, passenger must provide their own carer. Guests must be able to sit on a bench seat and support themselves by holding on to a bar in-front of each seat without assistance.
  • Participants must meet the minimum height requirement of 44-inches tall (1.1-meter tall) - your average 6 year old.
  • Children aged 15 years and under must be accompanied by an adult (age 18+) on the tour.
  • Late or no-show participants will not receive a refund. You have 24 hours prior to your trip to cancel for a full refund. Trips can be rescheduled until day of the departure at no added charge (subject to availability).
  • Guests must arrive on site via their own form of transportation - Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours is not responsible for getting you to the dock.
  • Please note that we do not see Niagara Falls from our tour
