About this experience

Bring a camera as this boat features a glass dome with panoramic views of the Niagara river. All trips include a river guide who entertains and narrates during your time on board.

All the thrills of a jet boat ride without getting wet! The dome jet boat speeds down the Niagara River and past 12 miles (19 km) of exhilarating scenery to the churning white waters of the famous Niagara Whirlpool. The covered boat keeps you dry as waves crash and splash around the domed jet boat!
