Travel up river (south) and into the Niagara Gorge. Once in the gorge, 200 ft walls ascend from the water line. The boat makes its way up into the famous whirlpool and then we head back on down (north) through Devils Hole Rapids. You return to the same location from which you boarded, this is a round trip excursion.

At times during your experience (on the Wet Jet tour) you can be seated in the boat, knee or even waist high in water. Yes folks, this can be as wet as swimming. We recommend a full change of clothes, and of course have change rooms on site. In the summer months Jet Boaters typically wear their swimsuit. If you are interested in the Jet Dome, you will stay dry and are encouraged to bring your cameras for some of the best scenic and nature shots imaginable.

Yes we do provide gear to our Wet Jet passengers which will help to keep you more comfortable on board. The gear is useful in keeping you a lot warmer (but certainly not drier). Some of the items we provide are: wool sweater, full length zip up jumper, poncho, life vest (of course) and a pair of wet suit booties. Passengers can elect to wear their own footwear or sandals but must realize they will be getting wet. If electing to bring your sandals they must have a back strap and cannot be the "flip flop" type.

For the Wet Jet trip you must be at least 6 yrs of age and 44 inches. For the Jet Dome trip you must be at least 4 yrs of age and 40 inches.

Absolutely! There is NO AGE LIMIT for a jet boater. Our record holder is 92 years old. We do maintain however that participants (of any age) should be of good health, free of heart, neck, or back problems and not pregnant. Also, seating in the boat ranges depending on the intensity of the trip that passengers are looking for. Details are explained at the pre trip orientation and passengers can choose where they would like to sit in the boat following their briefing.

While falling out is clearly not a norm, it is important to remember there is an element of risk dealing with any water activity. Whitewater rescue is part of our Captain and crew training in order to respond quickly and efficiently to any situation. The 17 year history and thousands of passengers who have experienced the Niagara River Gorge confirm the whitewater expertise of our organization.

We have 8 boats is our fleet and they each have different capacity limits. The Jet Dome holds 40 passengers. Most of our Wet Jet boats hold 48 passengers and our largest boat holds 56.

We require all Jet Boaters to be on site with us 45mins prior to their departure. This provides time to register, change and attend the required pre trip safety orientation and briefing. Failure to be onsite at the required time will result in your reservation being moved to another available time. Please allow plenty of time to navigate traffic, park and register as required.

From Niagara Falls NY to Lewiston NY we are approximately a 10-15 minute drive north from the falls. From Niagara Falls ON to Niagara on the Lake we are approximately a 20-30 minute drive north of the falls. At times during the summer the drive to our facility can take longer than expected due to increased tourist traffic. The drive to our dock is gorgeous and visitors love stopping along the way to see the view, pick up some fresh picked fruit and to walk around. Please give yourself plenty of time when driving from the falls.

Jet Boaters departing from Lewiston NY enjoy ample free parking right on site. In Niagara on the Lake we have free parking available in our lot as well as on some surrounding streets. However, during busy season our parking facilities fill up quite fast. Additional paid parking is available on Melville Street and costs $1/hr collected by the Town of Niagara on the Lake. We certainly do our best to help everyone find an appropriate parking spot while visiting us.

Passengers under the age of 16 must travel with an adult over the age of 18.

Although the most impressive feature of our boats are the power they have, it is also equally impressive that they can travel up to 65 miles per hr on such a big river. Generally speaking our boats weigh upwards of 24,000 lbs and carry approximately 7,000 lbs of passengers. On a big river such as the Niagara, we require all 1500 horsepower to maneuver and play in the moving water... the power to do so is the amazing part.

Our trip is down river from the falls. The closest we get to the falls is the Whirlpool which is approximately a mile north. A good section of class six whitewater keep us from going any further up river past the whirlpool. This area provides some of the most beautiful scenery in Niagara.
