Highlights

It should be pointed out that the Niagara Falls are not part of our tour’s itinerary

We assure you: you’re bound to be drenched during this exhilarating journey to Niagara Whirlpool’s renowned turbulent waters. Be sure to pack a spare outfit for after the adventure, because this tour is bound to get splashy! We do provide one-use ponchos, but they may not guarantee complete dryness.

The jet boat adventures are always guided and your guide will offer an engaging commentary throughout your journey. The tour extends roughly 45 minutes (from leaving the dock to returning to it) and could be the most thrilling Niagara experience you’ll encounter!

The Niagara Gorge Jet Boat Tour, which has been amusing Niagara visitors for over a quarter of a century, has earned features on CBS - Early Morning, The Amazing Race - Family Edition, the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, and the Outdoor Life Network.

Additional Information

Embark on an exhilarating adventure down the Niagara River in an open-top jet boat for an unforgettable Niagara experience. This is the most exciting - and certainly the most damp - way to admire the breathtaking landscape and awe-inspiring white waters of Niagara River.

We invite you to what we usually refer to as our white water playground, where the Class V Devil’s Hole Rapids won’t hesitate to drench you. After this electrifying event, you will journey upstream to the final destination of the trip, the renowned Niagara Whirlpool.

The Whirlpool and Niagara Falls are divided by a series of Class VI rapids, too dangerous and unlawful to navigate through. This excursion begins from the Canadian side and ends at the same location. 

  • Arrive promptly 45 minutes prior to departure time to register, sign participation agreement and hear pre-trip safety orientation. If you miss the safety orientation, we will move you to the next available trip time without notice (which could be the next day) so it is important to arrive on time.
  • The participation agreement thoroughly explains to anyone interested in the trip, all pertinent aspects of jet-boating including personal health requirements. Refusal to sign the agreement will not merit a credit or refund.
  • Wheelchair accessibility - if assistance is required, passenger must provide their own carer. Guests must be able to sit on a bench seat and support themselves by holding on to a bar in-front of each seat without assistance.
  • Participants must meet the minimum height requirement of 44-inches tall (1.1-meter tall) - your average 6 year old.
  • Children aged 15 years and under must be accompanied by an adult (age 18+) on the tour.
  • Late or no-show participants will not receive a refund. You have 24 hours prior to your trip to cancel for a full refund. Trips can be rescheduled until day of the departure at no added charge (subject to availability).
  • Guests must arrive on site via their own form of transportation - Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours is not responsible for getting you to the dock.
  • Please note that we do not see Niagara Falls from our tour

Friendly staff. - Fun and wild! Got soaked on a cold day but it was worth it. Warning: A big wave washed away my sunglasses. My own fault. But good to be aware of.

Great Time!! - Great experience lots of fun and thrills. Devin and the entire crew were great. We were advised to sit up front for the best ride getting fully submerged at times and I highly suggest the same unless you want to stay a little drier. The only thing I would suggest is that they offer a link to preview video and photos they offer for sale as you are cold and wet when you exit the boat we just wanted to get back to our hotel. Which is also a good time to point out you might want to heed the advice and bring towels and a change of clothes :o) Great time well worth it!
