Niagara Falls USA, Open-Top (Wet) Jet Boat Tour

Description

For a truly memorable visit to Niagara, take a thrilling journey down the Niagara River on an open-air jet boat. There's no better - or wetter - way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and amazing white water of the Niagara River. You will experience what we like to call our white water playground where the Class V Devil's Hole Rapids will get you completely soaked. After that thrilling experience you will travel up the river to the farthest point in the trip where you will see the famous Niagara Whirlpool. The Whirlpool and Niagara Falls are separated by a stretch of Class VI rapids that are unnavigable (and illegal) to pass through. This tour departs from the American side, and you return to the same location.

100% coming back

It was the first time my girlfriend and I have done this and it was an amazingly fun experience. Captain Jason and trip leader Emily were fantastic. Probably one of the coolest things we have experienced. The Hamilton turn was crazy! And the rapids and the skills of the captain was top notch. Definitely coming back and doing it again. The price was not bad at all. The ride was about 45 minutes but it was well worth the experience. The boat was big enough to fit 30 people or more? Honestly we were to excited to even think about how many people was on it lol. Great vibes, great energy.

Family trip!!

DO IT!!! We had so much fun on it the first time, we did it a second time. If you’re not trying to get soaked, this may not be for you. Otherwise, bring a change of clothes. Enjoy yourself!!

Better than a roller coaster at a theme park! Captain Jason and Guide Tory made our experience on the rapids a hoot! I would recommend this ride on the Niagara River to anyone looking for an adrenaline-inspiring time!

The experience was exceptional!

Our experience with the jet boat tour was top notch. The office and store staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a perfect size crowd. The length of of our visit was perfect. The tour guy Noah and Captain Nick was outstanding! Noah informed us about the history of Niagara River. You will get extremely soaked. The boat ride was not rough at all. They glided the boat with ease. The anticipation of the waves was far beyond expectations. We were so surprised from the first wave to the last. I was a little disappointed in the pictures that we purchased because of where we were seated, you couldn't see us or our expressions. However, I'm glad that they took pictures. Overall, good value for the money. The experience was exceptional!

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic review, Kimberly! We're thrilled to hear your experience was exceptional and that Noah and Captain Nick helped make your adventure so memorable. We appreciate your feedback about the photos and will share it with our team as we continue improving the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back for another Niagara River adventure soon!
