There is no question that if you sit on the outside you will not only get wet, you will get drenched. We loved our experience and the fact that we did not have to get was the selling point for us. The staff was informed and very entertaining. If in the area again we would definitely use your company again. And we have recommended you to all our friends.

The ride was fun and exciting. The boat is a beast and closer to a sports car. It was comfortable and dry, unless you want to ride in the exposed bow area.
Jerry_D, Oct 2025
Greater fun & excitement than I expected! Really cool ride!! Loved the excitement!! I would highly recommend this tour!! I did actually recommend this ride on several other tours to people that I met.

It was fun and you get to see the whirlpool close up. We did the domed boat ride. The only thing I did not enjoy was that they said to be there 45 minutes prior to scheduled time for orientation but actually they waited until about 15 minutes prior to trip for orientation. At the last possible moment a bus tour showed up and they were able to board prior to anyone else. This left very little space for people such as myself who had booked the trip over a month in advance. I was stuck in the middle and really could not see much.

So much fun! Those folks have the best job!
Absolutely beautiful scenery and the guide was terrific!

Onelda_H, Sep 2025
This was soo much fun!! Highly recommend this activity if you’re traveling alone or with family. My family and I had a blast! Will definitely do it again when we come back 🇨🇦
Coretta_O, Sep 2025
The tour guide, Vinny, and the captain were exceptional. Vinny was informative and the captain showed great control while maneuvering the jet boat on and through the waves. Exciting for all of us!
Magnolia_C, Sep 2025

We arrived late and the staff was very accommodating. I rescheduled for the next departure with no problems.
Elsa_W, Aug 2025
So much fun and we don’t get wet for this option! Totally worth it! Can’t wait to try the wet one when kid gets older!
Sherry_L, Aug 2025
The host and boat pilot were friendly and great. The ride was worth it. I did the dry ride and would try the Wet Jet ride if we go back. Niagara Falls is gorgeous and the Falls awe inspiring
James_G, Aug 2025
Fun but he talked to fast missed most of what he said but was still a good time would do it again later
Henry_S, Aug 2025
We took the domed (dry) boat and it was thrilling without even getting wet. We are both 66 and really enjoyed it. Next time (with proper preparation) I would do the wet one.
Melanie_S, Aug 2025
Chris and Jason were great! the ride was exciting and beautiful! i think we’re going to go back and do the WET version!
Christopher_D, Aug 2025
Bring gear to get wet and to change into dry.
If not, buy it there!! Prices were extremely reasonable.
Nikki_M, Aug 2025
This was so fun! I had a blast. My only complaint is that it wasn’t longer. This is something I will definitely experience again next time I’m in the area.

Before you book this experience, know that you are not going to actually see the Falls. The starting point is about 20 minute drive from Clifton Hills. You take a speed boat ride on Niagara on the Lake through several rapids and there is guided tour along the way. Do not go on this boat ride if you get motion sickness or seasick! Our boat had to turn around because a child started to get seasick. Our guide Grace was awesome! She was entertaining and put us at ease during the entire trip. The captain was very skilled at driving the boat and took us for an extra spin to make up for having to return to the dock. We sat in covered section of the boat and there was also an open section where the folks got really soaked! I would recommend this ride for anyone is not averse to motion or seasickness!
Kennedy_M, Jul 2025
This was a very fun experience! You get all the thrills of being out on the river rapids without getting wet. The boat was nice & air-conditioned and played some cool tunes to vibe to. I also thought our guide was very friendly and shout out to the captain for ripping the waves & getting us all back safely! I would def do this again!
Janice_T, Jul 2025
The entire group had a blast. This was so much fun. Everyone from me, my mom, my 3 year old son and 15 year old nephew all loved it
Brent_S, Jul 2025
The trip was a lot of fun , the closed top was awesome! Our tour guide did an awesome job. The captain made it an adventure, and watching the people on the outside of the boat get drenched was unbelievably funny.
Joe_F, Jul 2025
My wife and I had a blast. Highly recommend! Great combination of fun and a great tour. Will be coming back.
Giavanna_M, Jun 2025
Fun entertainment! Friendly staff, organized and helpful. Jet ride is full of surprises and a comfortable ride ( we were under the dome however). Would recommend and do it again myself
Jessi_C, Jun 2025
The guides ensure everyone is enjoying the thrilling experience and that no one is sick or uncomfortable… They gave us an extra pass through the rapids since everyone was loving it so much. We loved the energy and passion both the tour guide and captain brought to the experience.
Tim_T, Jun 2025
Fun ride just wish a little longer but delivered as advertised.
I'd do again but outside the covered area

If you are on the boat where you get wet, they have showers and an area where you can change out of your wet clothes.

Sara and Jordan was amazing. First time ever tryed the Dry jet Boat Tour and we had amazing time. Sara was so friendly and knowledgeable and her singing is to die for and the driver Jordan gave us a thrilling ride that makes you want to go on the wet side of the boat. Definitely will do this again and we hope to see Sara and Jordan do this tour again. Everyone needs to try this Dry Jet Boat Tour when they visit Nigeria Falls. Thank you for the amazing experience..
Connie_J, Oct 2024
Chris the narrator was so up beat! Explaining all about the Niagara on the lake adventure. I was one of his 4 birthday people. He showed us love with extra spin. Great trip I will highly recommend for future trips
Magda_M, Oct 2024
My sister uses a walker and can only take a few steps at a time. We were able to drive to the dock. No stairs, just ramps and friendly staff. They helped her into the boat and she sat in the front of the domed area. She had a blast. We were thrilled. This was on the bucket list.
