Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours

Departing from the riverside dock at Queenston, within Niagara-on-the-Lake, these guided tours put small groups aboard powerful jet boats for a fast run through the whitewater of the lower Niagara River. Riders climb toward the swirling Whirlpool and the turbulent Devil's Hole rapids while a guide narrates the gorge's geology and history, choosing between an open-air soaking 'wet' boat or a covered 'dry' vessel. It is one of the region's signature adrenaline activities, running daily through the warm-weather season, with age and health restrictions in place given the intensity of the ride.
