On the Canadian side of the Niagara River, the Wet Jet Tour departs daily out of Niagara-on-the-Lake ON from May until October. As well, we depart from Niagara Falls ON from mid June through to Labour Day (Canadian Holiday the first Monday in September). We also depart daily from the United States side of the Niagara River out of Lewiston NY from mid June through to Labour Day. After Labour Day, we depart on a limited basis and weekends.

  • Passengers must be at least 6 years of age and 44 inches tall.
  • All guests must be on site at least 45 minutes before your departure time.

Passengers will receive a certified life jacket and a set of aqua socks (you can wear your own shoes or sandals as long as the sandals have a strap that wraps around your ankle). As the weather dictates, we will provide everyone with a wool sweater, a full length splash suit and a poncho; we have sizes that fit almost all types and ages.

You will see the sites and all the amazing scenery just a short distance from one of the natural wonders of the world - mighty Niagara Falls! The Whirlpool and rapids are legendary for soaking those who challenge their incredible white water - from head to toe! Gear up, prepare to GET WET and get ready for an experience you will not soon forget!
