What you can expect

Board the rip-roaring Whirlpool Wet Jet for a thrilling adventure just miles from the raging Niagara Falls. Perform the famous “Hamilton turn”—a 360-degree spin that ends with a huge spray of water as you circle back into your own wake.

Your jet boat ride begins by heading upstream against the flow of water that pours from Niagara Falls at 30 feet (9.14 m) per second. You will travel up the river to the farthest point in the trip where you will see the famous Niagara Whirlpool. The Whirlpool and Niagara Falls are separated by a stretch of Class VI rapids that are unnavigable (and illegal) to pass through.

On the ride back, experience the Class 5 rapids known as Devil's Hole. If you're not soaked already, here's your chance, as the front of the boat fills knee-deep with water during this exciting, adventurous stretch of water. Don't forget to bring along a change of clothes for after the ride, as this tour is certain to make a splash! We have disposable ponchos available, but they aren't guaranteed to keep you dry.

This tour departs from the Canadian side, and you return to the same location.
