Very exciting trip into the rapid of Niagara Falls
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.
Dull dry domed boat.
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 don’t bother. It’s expensive for what it is.
Awesome Boat Ride

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.

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.
Awesome Experience

Will do 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.
45 minutes of fun! Highly recommended!
Stephen_G, Aug 2022
This was a lot of fun! If you don’t want to get soaking wet you better take the enclosed dome boat and sit on the inside where you’ll stay dry.
Fun tour

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 don’t get to see the falls on this ride but it is still a blast if you like to go fast !!
Fun ride
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

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.
Best tour ever
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.
Well worth it! Just have to do it!!!
David_L, Jul 2021
Even though we did the covered tour it was very fun and not nearly as violent as I had anticipated it being. The kids really enjoyed it! The boat captain and crew were very experienced which will ease your mind if thrills are low on your to do list. The scenery is breathtaking and the power of the water will amaze all who take this tour! The 360 turns are very fun... wished we had done an extra one, but worth every penny regardless.
Nice
Violeta_D, Jul 2021
