Not even the cold could damper this one! - My wife and I were here yesterday, and Sarah and Danielle were fantastic! Too cold for wet boat, but the dry boat was still a great time! Very informative and both Sarah and Danielle went above and beyond! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes learning nerdy facts and ALSO likes a thrilling ride through the rapids!

Great experience! - This was the best part of our Niagra Falls trip! We sat in the 'wet' part of the front of the boat. What a hoot! Of course we got soaked and loved every single minute of it. Great music was playing, we knew exactly what to expect, and had so much fun riding the rapids. The staff and crew are exceptional. My husband already can't wait to come back and do it again. This truly was a fantastic experience.

Amazing Experience - What an incredible experience! It was a blast! My family and I went on it for my birthday and we had a fantastic time. It's a real thrill, lots of 360 turns, big waves! If you want a thrill (without getting wet) try the domed boat. Would 100% go again!

Dry Boat was more fun than I expected! - I got outvoted by my husband and sister-in-law, so we ended up taking the Dry-Boat tour. We were planning to take the tour from Lewiston, but the only tours running the day we were there were from Niagara, Ontario. We booked our trip in Lewiston with the help of Jessica, who was super helpful not only with booking the trip but with giving us directions on how to get to the Canadian side. She was awesome! The actual boat trip was fun. We loved seeing the people outside of the cabin getting soaked! Alexis was our guide and Adam was our captain. Alexis made the trip really fun with her spunky personality and her jabs at us Americans! If I were to do this trip again I would try the wet-boat...but this was a good compromise to experience an adventure with my husband and SIL. Thanks for a fun ride Alexis and Adam!

GO….it’s a great time! - This was a lot of fun and a great way to get some time on the water. Alexis was fantastic and added lots of humor to the trip! So glad that we took the dry boat…those outside of the boat were soaked!
