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.

Tons of fun

It's a great ride. Lots of laughter. You cannot stay dry. Even your butt will get wet. I was fine with a pair of sketcher sneakers. You dont need waterproof shoes. The reason I gave it 4 stars was because the guide spoke way too quickly. People whose main language is not English will struggle understanding her.

Worth it even in the rain!

Awesome experience. Our guide Bree was funny and welcoming and captain Alex was amazing. You will get soaked. It was lightly raining. They don’t reschedule for rain. You’re going to get soaked anyway so it doesn’t matter. Temps in the mid 60s and very cold water…we wore shorts but had hoodies on under our ponchos and life jackets. Not too bad, you get used to the cold. Highly recommend! Also: lots of great local restaurants within walking distance on Center Street

Noah was great guide on jet boat. Class 5 rapids was crazy fun. Take them up on the blue poncho you get wet anyway but helps stay warmer
