This was wonderful. You must be aware you will not see The Falls and you will play around in Class 5 rapids, but if you love getting wet and the thrill of going through waves, you will love it!!! BTW..there are no seatbelts so hold on tight!!!!! We loved our guide Isabella and our Captain (can’t remember his name, so sorry). Definitely worth every penny!

This was a very extremely fun time. Prepare to get soaked!!! Our tour guide Isabella was amazing. She was knowledgeable and had a great personality for the job. We were taken care of professionally from beginning to end. This is one thing I would highly suggest to do!!! I think everyone on the boat was smiling and laughing the entire time.

For first time travelers,...

Robert_S, Sep 2026
For first time travelers, you might want to sit at the back of the boat as the power of the water is very strong. You should also be prepared to get soaking wet.🙂🙂🙂

Great place

Ben_K, Sep 2026

This is a must do...

Samantha_P, Sep 2026
This is a must do experience! We’ve been to Niagara twice before and I can’t believe we didn’t do this. We had so much fun and. It’s a unique way to explore Niagara. Our tour guide Connor was great and all the staff was helpful. You will get soaked so I definitely recommend bringing a towel and extra clothes. We will definitely be doing this again!

Well worth it!

Kelly_B, Sep 2026
Excellent experience very fun with good adrenaline pump! When they say ur going to get wet u will be soaked through so bring a change of clothes!

Great jet boat experience!

Beth_E, Sep 2026
It was awesome! Boat captain and tour guide were great. You will get soaked no matter how many ponchos you put on. There is a lot of water hitting your face so you need to be comfortable with that. Wear your swim suit and bring your change of clothes and towel. Store those in the free lockers. You must wear shoes on the boat so bring water shoes. Don’t wear glasses. They will get washed off even with straps. Do this tour. It’s great.

This was a blast!!! You...

Sandy_O, Sep 2026
This was a blast!!! You were totally soaked afterwards. If I would have known earlier I would bring a change of clothes for the locker to change afterwards. Would do it again !!

Paulianna_M, Sep 2026
Absolutely AMAZING! Such an adrenaline rush, incredible views, and so much fun! The rapids were the perfect thrill, and getting soaked made it even better. Amazing crew, unforgettable experience, and definitely a must-do in Niagara! Would 100% do it again!

Best Niagara experience

Chandini_K, Aug 2026
Very exciting and felt very safe during the whole Jurney. It's one of the best experiences in Niagra.

Ismelda_S, Aug 2026
It was a very fun experience I highly recommend it it's not scary at all is very refreshing if you think you're not going to get wet you're mistaken you're going to get soaked you might as well wear a bathing suit and don't forget to take a change of clothes they do have lockers that are free

Awesome boat ride!

Kati_M, Aug 2026
The crew did a great job! This was such a fun adventure and the captain made sure to alert us before any big waves were going to drench us. I highly recommend this experience!

Highly recommend!!

Julio_R, Aug 2026
Top Notch!!! Vinnie, our guide, was awesome!! Captain Tim was really good! We hit lots of great waves and were soaked!!! Highly recommend this activity! Make sure to wear slipper or water shoes. Maybe wear bathing suit to avoid having to wear poncho over reshoots clothes

Wet & Wild on the Mighty Niagara !!!!!!

John_S, Aug 2026
It was well organized right from the booking of the adventure right up to the completely water soaked end . And boy oh boy did we get wet . An amazing family adventure on the spectacular Niagara River . Tour guide Mackayla was amazing and Captain Jason was as well . They are very very good at their jobs . We will def be back ❤️ 🚤 🇨🇦

Amazing !! Book it

mary_c, Aug 2026
Just did this yesterday with my 8 year old grandson. Veronica and Jordan were the crew and it’s a blast. Not scary at all but you get soaking wet. The raincoat they give you will help some and it’s good for blocking the wind on way back and to cover your ears. Without it you might be cold on way back. I would book this again in a heartbeat. Soo fun

This was my kids'...

Maria_S, Aug 2026
This was my kids' favorite experience on Niagara Falls. My husband and I loved it too. They got soaked. I wore a poncho and the pants they provide and stayed fairly dry which is what I wanted. 100% recommend. The scenery was gorgeous and being on a speed boat in those rapids was so much fun.

A lot of fun. You truly...

Jennifer_N, Aug 2026
A lot of fun. The guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I believe her name was Grace. You truly get drenched. Bring a change of clothes. And wear water shoes. if the sun wasn’t out, we would’ve been very cold dress appropriately for cloudy weather.

Best time of our trip!

Angela_S, Aug 2026
Our tour guide and captain did an amazing job. My family was laughing and shocked of how soaked we were. We were not prepared! Haha. Come in swim suits you will be drenched.

Water thrills await!

This was wonderful. You must be aware you will not see The Falls and you will play around in Class 5 rapids, but if you love getting wet and the thrill of going through waves, you will love it!!!

Adrenaline ride! Be ready to be amazed!

Janet_G, Aug 2026
You will be soaking wet! The ponchos are worthless to stay dry but can warm you for the ride back. Bella was wonderful and Charlie gave us the ride of our life! Unforgettable!

45 mins early!

Rian_S, Aug 2026
You need to show up 45 mins early. If you don’t you won’t make your boat time. You need to look deep into the confirmation page to find this information. It made it very stressful after getting there with 25 mins and finding out I was actually too late for the time slot. Luckily the staff on sight were wonderful and able to accommodate me.

Big ole scary cat had an amazing time

Shaquanna_K, Aug 2026
i can't swim float nothing but this was on my bucket list all staff let me know i would be safe and nothing would happen......baby i had an amazing time Big shot out to jackie & grace u ladies rock i will be back i had an amazing time!!

Get wet, no sweat!! lol

Anna_C, Aug 2026
We did this ride and it was totally a blast! It's a thrill ride and you're gonna get soaked! I would wear your swimmers with something you don't mind getting wet over the top. Also, some type of sandal with strap because your feet are totally wet. Wet Jet Boat Tours have lockers and change rooms. Our tour guide Chris was a hoot and a lot of fun. Full of energy and had us excited throughout the whole ride. John our Captain truly knows his boat! He had us in whirls and spins and knew exactly how to surprise us with multiple splashes and waves. I would definitely recommend this tour; you will have an awesome time!

Wanted more

Willie_M, Aug 2026
We arrived at 4:40 and were greeted. However, after filling out waivers the trip was about to start. We did this trip last year so I knew what to expect. As we were standing in line I could see that we would be at the back of the boat which I already knew if u sit there you would not get wet or truly be able to experience the fun. I let the lady know I DO NOT want to sit there. She tried to tell me you would get wet again I already knew you really wouldn’t get wet. Last year it was just my family. This year it was more of us and I wanted them to experience the joy we had last year and it definitely was a waste of time and money. There were two boats that went out after us. Why is it that we couldn’t get on another boat to truly experience the joy of the boat. I understand we picked 5pm time slot. But if it fills up and the person is saying I DO NOT want to sit here no one cares because you/they already have our money. Overall trip this year horrible. Last year glorious!!

Must do in Niagara!!

wendy_d, Aug 2026
This was a lot of fun!! We got totally soaked but the weather was beautiful so it felt great. Highly recommend for anyone with a little bit of adventure in them! Captain Simon did an amazing job!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Thrilling!

Warren_B, Aug 2026
This wet jet boat tour was an amazing, high-adrenaline experience from start to finish! Our captain, Simon, was incredibly skilled, and Vinny was an awesome guide who kept us engaged and entertained the entire time. Hitting those rapids was a total blast. When they say you will get wet, they mean absolutely soaked—which made it even better! It was worth every single penny and easily the highlight of our trip. We are going to do it again for sure 10/10 highly recommend!. Thank you Gabriela Leon. ❤️
