have been lucky to make this trip twice & it is just amazing! the boat is completely submerged by the biggest wave. If you ever get the chance you just have to go for it. You will get wet, from head to toe!!!!!

We did this activity at the end of the season (late October) and it was great fun! The water was still warm, "Yes" prepare to get soaked and bring a change of clothes. Lockers are available and there is somewhere private to change. Do the open top boat for the best experience!

If you want a thrill and a true experience of the power of the Mighty Niagara make this a top stop if your in the Niagara area. YOU WILL GET DRENCHED!!! Not just a little wet but soaked. At one point I was sitting up to my chest in water! As a ship's captain I don't normally like to be... More

Ok, this one is easy - what could be better than flying up the Niagara river basin at 60mph into class 5 rapids - nothing I can think of! First off, the staff was great, very friendly and helpful and they knew how to handle smaller kids who seemed tentative. If you research beforehand you will know that you'll come... More

The safety briefings are over the top. Far too much scaremongering. Actually scared my wife off from going. In the event, it was fun but not exhilerating.... Sitting in the middle of the boat there's no sense of speed or thrill. Waterproof clothing didn't help. You come off soaked anyway. But what really ruined it for me is the cliche'd,... More

This ride is awesome, you have to do it - and it's not just for the young it's for the young at heart. Funny and friendly staff give full safety briefings beforehand and make sure everyone has a life jacket. You can also have a poncho and fleece if you want but nothing will keep you dry - you will...

What an AWESOME thing to do! So much fun we wanted to do it over and over! The weather was perfect, high 70s, but we were comfortable even after getting soaked in the rapids! They give you a sweater and a poncho....not to keep you dry, but to keep you warm! Getting soaked while flying over the river at 55... More

The trip on the jetboat was really much fun. We went to the whirlpool (where unfortunately we didnt stay long because obviously its forbidden for boats to go further) and on our way we did some 360 degree turns and so on. We got really REALLY wet - but since we got clothes and shoes to protect is it was... More

Its little pricey but worth the money you spend! No point in viewing whirlpool rapids from aerocar - this gets to the actual heart of action! You get completely soaked. You need to remove everything from your pockets before you board the boat They even give you a jacket - that doesnt help you avoid getting wet but just helps... More
