Not For The Faint Of Heart

A new package offered by Niagara’s Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours this season isn’t for the faint of heart.

The Wet and Wild Adventure allows thrill seekers to get their adrenalin pumping on three of Niagara’s top adventure attractions.

The package includes an hour-long joy ride with Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours from the mouth of the Niagara River through the Class 5 Devil’s Hole Rapids and to just below the incredibly powerful Niagara Whirlpool.

From there, adventurers get a birds-eye view of the scenery.

The package includes a zipline ride to the base of Niagara Falls with Wildplay MistRider Zipline and an obstacle course suspended over the Niagara Gorge with Wildplay Whirlpool Adventure Course.

Whirlpool has partnered with several other premier Niagara attractions to create packages that offer entertainment and value.

Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours is celebrating its 25th season helping adventure lovers experience the power of the Niagara River.

The company officially opened its doors to the public in 1992 with a single boat. It now operates a fleet of eight 50-passenger jet boats from three departure locations on both sides of the river — Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls in Ont., and Lewiston, New York.

Passengers can choose between two types of trips — wet or dry. Guests in open-topped jet boats are guaranteed to return to the dock soaking wet, doused with gallons of water while their boat pilot powers them through the rapids at high speed and expertly spins them through the chop in a complete 360-degree turn.

Passengers in the covered Jet Dome get the same thrill ride, minus the splash, and return as dry as they were at the outset.
