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 Canadian side, and you return to the same location.

It was a great experience. You definitely get soaked but it’s worth it. The crew was also very friendly and knowledgeable.

You will most definitely leave the boat ride completely drenched. I highly recommend this as something to do during your trip to Canada especially on a hot summer day- the cool water is very refreshing! The only thing that sucked was the parking situation- if you arrive too early you may or may not get a close spot. The parking is a huge gravel lot next to the river (great views) but if the tour before you is packed, you might have some trouble finding a spot. Besides that the tour was very interactive. You get very cozy with your neighbor on the boat so if you're claustrophobic or don't like sitting very close to someone this may not be for you. Definitely will be back next time I visit Canada!
