Definitely going on jet boats again!

This was my first time on jet boats and I can’t recommend them enough! I chose to go on the Wet Jet boats, and getting splashed only added to the already exhilarating experience. Seeing the Niagara River so up close and personal is something I will never forget!

The tour guide was very helpful

Our tour guide, Kevin, was so knowledgeable and elevated the whole experience. He knew a lot of fun facts about the history of the Niagara River and the landmarks we were seeing. I also loved that he shared funny anecdotes from his rafting days.

DESCRIPTION

Niagara Falls Jet Boat Tour

STAY DRY OR GET WET

Begin the tour by choosing to board either the Wet Jet boat or the Jet Dome boat, depending on whether you want to stay dry or get wet. With an open roof, there are no dry seats on the Wet Jet boat. You’ll get all the necessary safety equipment to keep you as comfortable as possible, but definitely count on getting wet. The Jet Dome boat, on the other hand, offers shelter from the rapids’ splashing, keeping you dry and allowing you to bring a camera and safely take as many photos as you want.

EXPERIENCE THE THRILL

The Niagara Falls Jet Boat Tour is 45 minutes long, which will give you plenty of time to both enjoy the adrenaline rush of speeding through the rapids and take in the beautiful scenery surrounding you. You will go through the Devil’s Hole, where the rapids begin, and make your way along the river. A ride through the Class 5 rapids offers exciting speeds on its own, but you will also get to experience a thrilling 360-degree jet spin!

TAKE IN THE SCENERY AND LEARN

While you go through the river and enjoy the magnificent nature around you, a professional guide will lead you through the rapids and talk about the history of the Niagara River. You’ll learn a lot of interesting facts about different historical landmarks along the river and get to see them from a unique point of view - directly from the water. Your guide will also tell you all about the differences between the USA and Canadian sides of the river.

Interesting facts about Niagara Parks

Fish can survive a drop over Niagara Falls

Despite the amazing speed and intense waterfalls, around 90% of fish that swim down Niagara Falls can survive with the help of the protective foam forming on the water! Fish are also relatively lightweight and have streamlined bodies, which helps make their journey smoother.

World’s fastest-moving waterfall

Did you know that Niagara Falls is the world’s fastest-moving waterfall? The water can reach the speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) through the Whirpool Rapids below the falls and 22 mph (36 km/h) at Devil/s Hole Rapids. Pretty awesome, right?

Oldest state park in America

Established in 1885, Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest state park in the USA. The visionary behind the state park is Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Central Park in New York City.

Electricity and drinking water source

Niagara Falls is an incredible generator of natural resources. For the USA and Canada, Niagara Falls generates more than 4,000,000 kilowatts of electricity every year. It’s also the source of around 20% of the drinking water consumed by the US cities closest to the falls.
