Our tour guide Alisha was AMAZING. She is so knowledgeable and personal. It was obvious she truly loves Niagara Falls and wants everyone to share her joy. It was the perfect length tour without being overkill. We learned so much and had the best day! We wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much!

The tour guide was so much fun. The experience was great and interactive. It was nice not having to plan anything and just go with the flow and be told here to go and have someone give us tickets to each section of the tour and explain where we need to go. Very stress-free!

This was definitely a great end of the day booking after walking and doing the falls. Its a 20 minute ride from the falls area. If you plan to get wet this is the ride for you. We sat on the very back row and still was soaked. Going full speed into class 6 rapids will leave you drenched and the water is cold. Perfect for a hot summer day.

This should be on everyone’s bucket list. I was blown away by the whole experience. This will give you the thrills and high adrenaline levels. I loved each and every second of this jet boat ride. Yes, You will be DRENCHED COMPLETELY in water and you will feel great having that. Speaking about the whole crew, Nick was amazing riding the boat towards the wave. Chris Ball, our wonderful and handsome team leader is a complete entertainer. He was wonderful and full of energy during this whole experience. Hats off to you Chris. You gave us some great memories to cherish with your whole entertainment. If you have a Niagara parks pass, you can take the WeGo bus until the floral clock and then Whirlpool jet boat has a shuttle service from there which is about 10 mins to the destination. They pick and drop you. Brenda was the one helping us pick and drop to the destination. She is the sweetest person and very chill. Really active and makes sure everyone is comfortable during the ride. It’s better to book online and fill the waiver. Video and photo packages are additional. They also provide free locker to keep your stuff. It’s better to get alternate clothes and towel because no matter if you wear the plastic hood that they provide, you will be 1000% drenched in water. Must visit this place.
