Adventure In 3 Easy Steps

Step 1

Cruise the Rapids

Prepare to get wet! For a soaking good time, don your gear and get ready to navigate the rapids at high speeds in an open-air jet boat with Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours. Over the hour-long adventure, you’ll skim along the surface of the river — the highlight being navigating the Class V rapids of Devil’s Hole. And hold on tight through the 360-degree “cowboy” spins!

Step 2

Hit the Trail

Grab your boots and sense of adventure. There are hiking trail options aplenty, whether it’s a leisurely stroll through Niagara Falls State Park or hopping boulders across the Niagara Gorge Trail System. Fancy some company? The Niagara Region Park Interpretive Programs Office offers free guided hikes year-round.

Step 3

Soar Above It All

Looking for the ultimate 360-degree view? It doesn’t get much better than a helicopter ride over the Falls. Trips with Hummingbird and Rainbow Air Inc. glide above the rushing waters on an electric journey from the mighty Upper Niagara River to the Falls themselves. Even more epic? On any sunny day, you’re also guaranteed to catch sight of the famous Niagara rainbow.
