Bring gear to get wet and to change into dry. If not, buy it there!! Prices were extremely reasonable.

This was so fun! I had a blast. My only complaint is that it wasn’t longer. This is something I will definitely experience again next time I’m in the area.

Before you book this experience, know that you are not going to actually see the Falls. The starting point is about 20 minute drive from Clifton Hills. You take a speed boat ride on Niagara on the Lake through several rapids and there is guided tour along the way. Do not go on this boat ride if you get motion sickness or seasick! Our boat had to turn around because a child started to get seasick. Our guide Grace was awesome! She was entertaining and put us at ease during the entire trip. The captain was very skilled at driving the boat and took us for an extra spin to make up for having to return to the dock. We sat in covered section of the boat and there was also an open section where the folks got really soaked! I would recommend this ride for anyone is not averse to motion or seasickness!

This was a very fun experience! You get all the thrills of being out on the river rapids without getting wet. The boat was nice & air-conditioned and played some cool tunes to vibe to. I also thought our guide was very friendly and shout out to the captain for ripping the waves & getting us all back safely! I would def do this again!
