Niagara’s whitewater rapids have challenged explorers for over 300 years. Our specially designed Jet Boats offer an affordable fun way to reveal the history, scenery and incredible whitewater of the Niagara River. You can choose if you would prefer a dry or wet adventure; Soak it all up on one of the 'Wet Jet' boats. Experience the adrenaline rush as the waters from the Niagara river embrace you in an unforgettable tour. If getting absolutely soaking wet isn't for you, then the 'Jet Dome' is. See all the Niagara River has to offer while remaining dry on our 'Jet Dome' tour. Have fun on the jet-boat as you experience an adrenaline-fuelled close encounter with the spectacular Niagara Falls. This breathtaking boat ride (as seen on Amazing Race) speeds up the Niagara River into the massive stonewalled canyon that is the Niagara Gorge. The ultimate destination is the Devil’s Hole Rapids (a class 5 rapid) and the legendary Whirlpool, where you’ll veer around and hurdle white-water rapids.
In Niagara Falls, put on your walking shoes and follow the two-mile loop through Niagara Falls State Park—across meadows, woodlands, and five small islands, each leading closer to the cascade. Continue to the Cave of the Winds, where you will don disposable plastic ponchos and sandals, then take an elevator down to a board walk that spans massive boulders as it takes you close to the Bridal Veil. At the end of the trail, board the Maid of the Mist ship and travel through the foaming waters, riding against the powerful current and into the magnificent Canadian Horseshoe Falls as you “soak” in the fun and excitement. Having exhausted the ways to experience the Falls (unless you opt for the helicopter fly-over experiences), you can either return to Niagara-on-the-Lake for some adult relaxation or pampering at the hotel, or you can check out the local wildlife, with a stop at the massive aviaries of the Bird Kingdom or a visit to the Killer Whale Show at Marineland.
Dinner tonight is on your own, but if you’re looking for a cultural diversion, we recommend the Shaw Festival, a renowned repertory theatre, which presents plays created by George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries in three wonderful theatres within walking distance of the hotel.
