Overview
Arrive early to register, sign a participation agreement, and attend a mandatory safety orientation. Then grab a poncho, some water shoes and a life jacket (because it’s going to get wet) and hop on board to find a seat on the Wet Jet deck, which can accommodate up to 12 people.
Take in the shoreline, beginning at beautiful and tranquil Niagara-on-the-Lake, and check out sites like Brock's Monument and Fort Niagara before reaching Devil’s Hole Rapids, where things get really choppy. Hold on tight because it’s about to get even bumpier amidst the heart-pounding rapids of the swirling Niagara Gorge. Then there are the captain’s thrilling 360-degree spins.
This adventure is about more than just thrills, however. Look around and appreciate the stunning scenery on this 18-mile journey. And learn about the history and geology of the majestic Niagara River while experiencing the excitement of playing in whitewater rapids. This Niagara jet boat tour is sure to be one of the most memorable experiences of any visit to Niagara Falls.
Please note: This tour is seasonal, operating from May through to October and departs from the US.

Great activity for a hot summer day.

On a hot summer day, we really enjoyed this and would happily do it again! It started with a very different view of the Niagara Rivr gorge, then a brief 360 with some splashing before heading up into the more serious rapids. Then end result was like a half-hour amusement park ride - except the thrills were provided by Mother Nature. (The total time on the boat was longer than that.)
Great field trip!!

Unforgettable Experience
Melindaaren, Sept 2020
This was such an awesome experience, from the ladies at the counter to our awesome and funny guide. The boat ride was an experience that my family and I will never forget!! As soon as we got off the boat my husband and TEENAGE children thanked me for planning this adventure for us. If you have teenagers you know that is saying a whole lot!! If you are planning a trip to Niagara the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour is a MUST do!!!
