Overview

This is a 45-minute private ride in an open-top jet boat through the Niagara Whirlpool rapids, a few kilometres downstream of the Falls. It is a whitewater ride rather than a sightseeing cruise, and the boat drives right into the standing waves.

The ride leaves from its own dock on River Frontage Road in Niagara-on-the-Lake. We hand out splash gear before you board, but you will still get wet, so bring a change of clothes.

Highlights

  • Open-top jet boat through the Whirlpool rapids
  • Class 5 rapids and standing waves
  • Devil's Hole Rapids, the biggest splash
  • Gorge walls rising on both sides
  • Splash gear provided before boarding
  • Private ride for your group

Is there a height or age restriction?
