Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours has two locations, one in Queenston and one in Lewiston, New York, USA. The Whirlpool Jet Boats ride is a must do when visiting Niagara. If you are looking for a wild ride this is it!
Of course the combatants of the War of 1812 didn't travel the mighty Niagara River on Whirlpool Jet Boats, but in this day and age you can retrace their historical journey as part of a Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour (WJBT). The jet boat tour is more than just the historical nuances of the Niagara area. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to comfortably experience what is commonly referred to as the "Mount Everest" of white water.
As you speed along the Lower Niagara River at 80 km/h in the confines of this truly one of a kind jet boat, the river guide will tell you all about the fascinating history of the Niagara area, local points of interest as well as the mechanics of the impressive vessel you are touring in. Highlights of your round trip will include the power plants of the Niagara Gorge, the 175ft. stone wall canyon, and the Whirlpool Areo Car . You'll be astounded as the 31,000 lbs. of thrust from the jet boat vanquishes the mighty Class 5 whitewater of the Devil's Hole Rapids and the swirling waters of the Whirlpool. Rest assured, you're in professional hands as all captains and Whirlpool Jet Boats are certified by both the United States Coast Guard and Transport Canada.
Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours departs daily in season from the Water Street Landing in Lewiston, NY and from 55 River Frontage Road in Queenston/Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. Passengers can choose between either a "Wet Jet" or "Freedom Jet" experience. WJBT's one-of-a-kind Wet Jet white water tour will hydrate your senses as you take on Class 5 white water that's guaranteed to leave you absolutely soaking wet and amazingly refreshed. If getting wet is not for you, the Freedom Jet tour follows the exact route as the Wet Jet but shelters you from the water. Passengers are ultimately encouraged to bring their cameras for the journey as they are presented with unparalleled photo opportunities while in the Gorge. For a unique and exciting Niagara adventure, Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours is a perfect fit.

Arrive early to register, sign a participation agreement, and attend a mandatory safety orientation. Then grab a poncho, some water shoes and a life jacket (because it’s going to get wet) and hop on board to find a seat on the Wet Jet deck, which can accommodate up to 12 people.
Take in the shoreline, beginning at beautiful and tranquil Niagara-on-the-Lake, and check out sites like Brock's Monument and Fort Niagara before reaching Devil’s Hole Rapids, where things get really choppy. Hold on tight because it’s about to get even bumpier amidst the heart-pounding rapids of the swirling Niagara Gorge. Then there are the captain’s thrilling 360-degree spins.
This adventure is about more than just thrills, however. Look around and appreciate the stunning scenery on this 18-mile journey. And learn about the history and geology of the majestic Niagara River while experiencing the excitement of playing in whitewater rapids.
