We even had kids in other group, so... More

I live in Niagara Falls and I don't know why I didn't do this sooner! Our group was 3 adults and two teenage boys. Everyone loved it! The waivers that you have to sign before going on the trip make it sound so scary (and of course there is always risk) but this ride was not scary at all! It... More

Not only do you learn a little about the area but you have a blast doing it. I highly recommend sitting in front and holding your breath. You will get wet. The most fun I've had in a long time. More

They make you sign a participation agreement after taking the money that states you GIVE permission to use any and all pictures, video and/or movies for publicity, promotion and advertising without remuneration. You won't be permitted to ride the boat unless you sign it unconditionally. The tour operators take extensive wet pictures and videos of everyone who come for the... More

We bought our tickets the day before to insure we had the time we wanted. If you have children under 18 they must be accompanied by at least one adult. Boats are safe and well maintained. The ride lasts under an hour. It was the one activity in Niagra Falls that the kids really enjoyed. More

You'll never get closer to the rapids and whirlpool than this! The ride takes you up and down through the lower Niagara's Class V rapids and right up to the brink of the Class VI (unnavigable) whirlpool! You'll feel perfectly safe, but it's still and exciting and very wet ride!! I've taken this tour in both spring and late summer,... More

What an incredible experience! The staff were very friendly and fun. The 1 hour ride is just fantastic! From speeding along at 65 MPH and doing a 360 turn, to "surfing" the top of "Devil's Hole" rapids, witnessing the massive whirlpool rapids, of course flying through "Devil's Hole" getting absolutely soaked (4 or 5 times)...but even just the scenery of...

ok... 3 adults and my 10 and 8 year old kids went on the Whirlpool jet boat tour. Very cool !!! I've been on racing boats down here in Brigantine NJ and this jet boat had the same feel to it. 2- 800 hp turbo engines propelled us up the river and to the Niagara Whirlpool which is the only... More

The crew was great and provided a fun and excitiing tour. Highly recommended. We didn't plan on Jet boating; we kind of just found the place by driving around; but what a great find we loved it. The fee was more affordable then I thought it would be. More
