Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours set to make a splash for 25th season

Daily departures for Niagara River jet boat rides have begun




















NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ont. (June 2017) - As Canada prepares to celebrate
its 150th birthday this summer,  <http://www.whirlpooljet.com/> Whirlpool
Jet Boat Tours will mark a significant milestone of its own - its 25th
season taking passengers on action-packed rides through the whitewater of
the Niagara River.



Following a mild winter and early spring, Whirlpool kicked off the season on
Saturday, April 22, offering jet boat rides a couple of weeks earlier than
usual from its dock in Old Towne Niagara-on-the-Lake. Departures began on
the U.S. side of the river in Lewiston, N. Y. on Saturday, April 29 and are
set to begin from Niagara Falls on Sunday, June 25.



"This is a really big year for us," said Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours president
John Kinney. "With Canada's 150th coming up, Niagara is expecting a very
strong summer for tourism. We're really excited to help thousands of
visitors celebrate Canada's big day with a splash."



Over the past 25 years, Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours has grown steadily and
invested heavily in innovative technology and amenities to help adventure
lovers experience the power of the Niagara River.



The company officially opened its doors to the public in 1992 with a single
boat, taking passengers for thrilling white water rides from the mouth of
the Niagara River in Niagara-on-the-Lake, through the Class 5 Devil's Hole
Rapids and to just below the incredibly powerful Niagara Whirlpool.



Twenty five seasons later, Whirlpool has a fleet of eight 50-passenger jet
boats that take passengers on adrenalin-filled trips from three departure
locations. In the process, Whirlpool has earned a reputation as one of the
top tourism attractions in the region. Last year, the Ontario Tourism
Marketing Partnership Corporation named Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours one of
seven must-do tourism attractions as part of the Ontario Signature
Experience Series.



Passengers can choose between two types of trips - wet or dry. Guests in
open-topped jet boats are guaranteed to return to the dock soaking wet,
doused with gallons of water while their boat pilot powers them through the
rapids at high speed and expertly spins them through the chop in a complete
360-degree turn. Passengers in the covered Jet Dome get the same thrill
ride, minus the splash, and return as dry as they were at the outset.



Tours last approximately one hour. Along the way, tour leaders on the boats
also give passengers highlights about the river's geology and fascinating
history.



Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours has a sister company,
<https://www.niagarasunsetcruises.com/> Niagara Sunset Cruises, that offers
tours aboard the Niagara Belle - a fully restored New Orleans-style paddle
wheeler - for those who'd prefer to take in the fantastic sights of the
Niagara River at a slower pace.



In addition to individual bookings, Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours offers special
rates for corporate groups, family groups and residents of Niagara. More
information about tour packages, rates and reservations can be found at
<http://www.whirlpooljet.com> www.whirlpooljet.com.



About Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours:



Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours has
been giving passengers a taste of adventure on the white water of the
Niagara River since 1992. Passengers experience a thrilling and educational
one-hour guided tour, where they can take in the awe-inspiring scenery of
the Niagara Gorge, feel the rush of the Class 5 Devil's Hole rapids and
marvel at the power of the Niagara Whirlpool. Headquartered in
Niagara-on-the-Lake, the tour company's fleet of custom-built jet boats
depart from three locations: Niagara-on-the-Lake, Niagara Falls, Ont.
(shuttle bus from Floral Clock on Niagara Parkway to Queenston dock) and
Lewiston, N.Y.
