Take in the shoreline and check out sites like Brock's Monument and Fort Niagara before reaching the Class 5 Devil’s Hole Rapids, where things get really choppy. Hold on tight because it’s about to get even bumpier amid the heart-pounding Class 5 rapids of the swirling Niagara Gorge.

Riding the Waves in Ease!
Lindsay_T, Aug 2022
I really enjoyed my experience with the boat tour and the team hosting, including Molly and the two amazing Captains. Molly was a lot of fun and made sure to entertain everyone on the boat. The captains were very entertaining as well and we safely went through every single wave that we came across, especially the high waves. I recommend this boat tour with this particular company!

We had such an amazing time! I went with my mom and sisters and we are now planning to bring our friends.
Experience one time
VairalakshmiM_S, Jul 2022
1. It wasn't a great experience and we didn't feel the adventure thrill 2. Don't book co-pilot seat as it is nothing extraordinary for the extra price 3. I prefer the wet option but that is also at the back of the boat so you can't experience the real thrill

FUN!!!!
Stephen_R, Jul 2022
This was a total blast; it was a party from start to stop, it is a wonderful thing to do in the area. Well worth every penny, we loved it so much, we booked it for the next day as well!
Whirlpool Dry Jet Boat is a Total Blast!
Jennifer_M, Jun 2022
We had a blast. Captain Mark and Captain Lloyd were wonderful. My husband smiled and laughed the whole time. It was the most fun we have had for in a long time. My husband can't swim and this is the closest he will ever get to white water rafting. Totally worth the money! A must do in the Niagara Falls area. The place and boat were very clean and well maintained. Everybody was so professional.
Great Adventure
