What an absolutely incredible experience! Makayla was an incredible guide. She made me feel like I was on the adult version of the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland (in the best way possible)! She was knowledgeable and punny! I cannot for the life of me remember the captain's name - I want to say Sean but I think that's incorrect. Anyway, he did a wonderful job navigating those class 5 rapids taking time to care for all the souls on board while also giving us the time of our lives! It was such a great experience and I'd recommend it to everyone (plus I'd totally come back and do it again)!

The whirlpool jet boat tour was the highlight of our trip. We had planned on visiting Niagara Falls in 2020 for the first time. Then covid hit, closed borders. Fast forward to 2026, finally made it. Whirlpool jet boat was recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint. Made the tour, got soaked. Grace and Jackie were awesome. Totally worth it.

What a thrill!! I felt safe EB been though we were whizzing around and getting totally soaked! If you do this boat trip you don't need to do the cable car or walk. This cover everything! Plus you get to actually experience the Niagra river away from the typical tourist site which is 20 minutes away.

Want a rare bathing opportunity in the Niagara River? Book this ride. Just book it! You'll have a time of your life. This is the best thing to do at Niagara in mine and my wife's opinion.

Sabrina did a great job. The entire tour was spectacular but highlight definitely was the helicopter and the boat ride. Worth every penny

Capt. John and guide Veronica were entertaining, high energy and made the excursion fun. The rapids were exhilarating! Don't buy the media package with photos and video. It didn't have photos or video of me (and my group). The photos and video were of the full excursion and everyone as well, there were photos that had the backs of everyone's head. The orientation and actual ride was excellent.

Great experience. Did the same tour but on the America side prior. This time did it with my finance and he loved the whole experience (so did I). We sat front row middle and was soaked. Our tour guide was Nick who was very knowledgeable and Vinny our boat operator and he did a great time driving the boat and giving us a great experience. Definitely a must do again
