Shannon_M, Aug 2025
We had a blast! This was definitely worth the money! We did the dry boat as it was a little cool for us but it was great! They have a few seats in the very front of the dry boat where you can sit outside and get wet if you choose to. The people outside got soaked! Everyone seemed to have a very fun time! Highly recommend!

If you are sent a link that does not open make sure to call for details. My link didn't open so we barely made it on time. Be there 45 min early. But the staff was amazing and helped us work it out fast. So thankful it was a blast

If your doing the dry ride just be prepared to have fun. If your doing the open boat definitely bring extra clothes.
Cynthia_M, Oct 2024
Excellent experience. I grew up in the area and to see the areas of the gorge from a boat is an experience that I will never forget!
Franklin_B, Sep 2024
ME AND COUSIN WENT TOGETHER. ENJOIED IT. WILL DO IT AGAIN late on this time with family. It was my first time so will do it again
Michelle_M, Sep 2024
Our tour guide Nicole was excellent.
Would definitely recommend.
Very informative and well as thrill seeking.
Matthew_G, Sep 2024
There was nothing about this trip that was enjoyable. We were under the impression from your website we were going to tour niagra falls not do tricks on the boat for 45 min. There was little to no communication with the tour group and the verbiage on your website does not explain exactly what the tour actually was. I was under the impression the tour was of the falls not playing on the rapids
ELVIS_A, Aug 2024
Riding the wave very fast and watching everyone get wet next time I'm going to get wet the tour guy was funny and I liked his inside jokes
Daniel_T, Jul 2024
This was an awesome adventure. You have the option of being dry inside of outside and get wet. Our guide Ryan did an awesome job. But I highly recommend doing this, you won't be disappointed.
Brenda_B, Aug 2023
We were told on line to arrive 45 minutes early for safety presentation however we spent most of this time sitting around and waiting until the safety presentation the was done 15 minutes prior to departure. It was an exciting ride and the highlight of our trip according to my 7 year old daughter.
Kelly_W, Aug 2023
We are a family of 6. 4 children 15, 11, 10 and 4. We had been on the maid of the mist and cave of the winds tour the previous day. We found these much more fun. We did the dry domed boat because my youngest was only four. This would probably have been much more if we had gone outside. So if you are going to take this tour go outside or donāt bother. Itās expensive for what it is.
Calvon_B, Jul 2023
Our family had a wonderful time. All the staff were friendly and made the experience a blast and educational. Our 7 year old was nonstop smiling or laughing the entiretime. Next time we will try the wet boat ride.
Bill_W, May 2023
This was a good trip once we actually did the jet boat trip. Originally we accidentally booked the wrong date and had an issue with rescheduling.
sablesusan, Aug 2022
Great experience to see the rapids up close. Felt safe and well informed the entire trip. Would definitely ride again!
Matthew_A, Aug 2022
Great experience overall. But wish we would have opted to take the open boat.
Well organized and very courteous staff. Lunch at the Silo after topped off a great outing with the grandsons.
Stephen_G, Aug 2022
This was a lot of fun! If you donāt want to get soaking wet you better take the enclosed dome boat and sit on the inside where youāll stay dry.
Lindsay_M, Jun 2022
Such a fun way to experience Niagara! The boat crew was friendly and fun. Felt safe but adventurous! Would do it again!
Yajaira_L, May 2022
From the staff so friendly and well organized. The whole family enjoyed it. I well definitely recommend.
Jaynie_H, Aug 2021
It was a great ride I wish we had done more Hamilton turns they were so fun !!! Capt alex did a great job and Amanda was very knowledgeable and fun. You donāt get to see the falls on this ride but it is still a blast if you like to go fast !!
Teresa_T, Aug 2021
Fun ride. Amanda our guide was really funny and friendly. Was nice to listen to her egg on the group. Alex the captain did a great job. My only complaint was seating was very narrow and we were seated next to a VERY large couple. Not comfortable at all
Mary_C, Aug 2021
Great experience and great tour guides and captain! Beautiful scenery and felt very safe. Captain and crew made it fun but I still felt safe.
Kadeah_B, Jul 2021
From the moment we walked in the staff greeted us with much respect. Luke was very professional and made the experience exciting while keeping us comfortable. Our captain was very careful to put anyone in danger while giving us a fun memorable experience.
