We had an absolutely Fabulous day with Mike on the jet boat tour today. We were very lucky to snag the last two seats at the last minute, so thank you for including us. The weather was perfect, the scenery was wonderful and it brought back Great memories of a watercraft trip we had taken through Topock Gorge years ago. Can't think of a better way to spend the day!

This river tour was super fun! It's a great way to get away from the noise and cigarette perfume. I would highly recommend this outing. Our tour guide was very professional, polite and knowledgeable. Can't wait to do it again. Cheers!

My wife and I went to Laughlin, NV (which I had never been to before) to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary. My wife discovered the London Bridge Jet Boat tour which we did on Saturday the 1st of October and we had a blast! The view on the river was awesome/fun, our driver "Ty" was hilarious and our visit to the London Bridge in Lake Havasu was worth the trip. Had lunch at the brewery there (was delicious and reasonably priced) and we had a fun trip back! Would recommend this to anyone who hasn't done it yet.

We enjoyed the jet boat ride. The views along the river were stunning. We ate at the pub beside the London Bridge. Our captain was very knowledgeable and funny. You stay cool because of the wind and the boat is equipped with a spray mister too. I recommend this tour. I’d repeat it if I were visiting Laughlin again.

If you are thinking about doing this adventure...Just do it!!! My husband and I have been to the Laughlin area and thought about going on the boat ride but always thought it's too HOT or too long. It is not.....We really enjoyed it and the temps were in the hundreds and the ride was very enjoyable.

This tour was very easy to book, the representative was cheerful, knowledgeable, while providing all the information i needed. The tour started at the appointed time, and the captain of our boat was very engaging, and made the trip to Lake Havasu and the London Bridge very enjoyable. We plan to return soon with friends, and do the tour again. Thank you for the wonderful time.

Tours departing from niagara falls on and lewiston ny are 45 minutes (round trip). the tours all follow the same route and spend the same amount of time in the rapids , from either departure point, we travel upriver (south) and into the niagara gorge. once in the gorge, 175 ft walls ascend from above the water line. the boat makes its way into the famous niagara whirlpool and then we head back on down (north) through the class v devil’s hole rapids. you return to the same location from which you boarded as our tour is a round trip excursion., click here to view our tour route map here., our trip is located down river from the falls, therefore it is impossible for our boats to go over the falls. the closest our tour gets to the falls is the whirlpool, which is approximately one mile north. a good section of class six whitewater keeps us from going any further up river..

No, we do not see Niagara Falls on any of our tours. Our tours travel upriver into the Niagara Gorge, through the Class V Rapids at Devil’s Hole and up to the Niagara Whirlpool. The Whirlpool and Niagara Falls are separated by a stretch of Class VI rapids that are unnavigable (and illegal) to pass through.

Our seating is first-come-first-served after the safety orientation. seating on the vessel is always up to the discretion of the captain. , the first 3-4 rows of every vessel are considered our “power rows” and take the most weight of the water. we only seat guests who are over the age of 12 and over 100lbs in these rows. but don’t worry, every seat on our wet jet is a wet seat, want guaranteed seating in the first 2 rows check out the ‘wet freedom jet’ power row tickets. these seats are on the front of our freedom jet so you’ll be guaranteed to be seated in those first 2 rows., on the “wet jet” or “wet freedom jet” tour you get absolutely soaked. at times, while engaged in the devil’s hole rapids during your wet jet tour experience, you can be seated knee deep in water in the boat. regardless of the gear we provide, we recommend a complete change of clothes and of course we have change rooms on site., guests on our “dry freedom jet” tour will remain dry within the enclosed vessel., yes, we provide all guests with a life vest, which is mandatory on board., we do provide additional splash gear to our wet jet passengers on inclement weather days, which will help to keep you more comfortable on board. the gear is useful in keeping you a lot warmer (but certainly not drier)., passengers can elect to wear their own footwear or sandals, or purchase our river sandals at check-in. you cannot ride barefoot., on our wet jet tour or wet freedom jet tours, you can bring 3 things onto the boat with you: hats, sunglasses/eyeglasses, and completely waterproof cameras with a wrist strap., all of your other belongings (keys, wallets, cell phones) should be left behind. we provide complimentary lockers at all locations where you can store your belongings during the tour., for our dry freedom jet tours, you can bring small bags and cameras/cell phone to take beautiful photos of the tour, all of our tours follow the exact same route – a 45 minute round trip adventure into the niagara gorge and through the class v rapids at devil’s hole. , our wet jet vessels are open-topped and every single seat will get completely soaked, our freedom jet vessel is mostly enclosed (dry freedom jet seats) but has 2 rows of outside wet seating at the very front. these are considered ‘power rows’ so guests must be a minimum of 13 years old and 100 lbs without any history of heart, neck or back issues. we only sell adult tickets for the freedom jet wet seats.  .

• kratos2057 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles I wanted that video and photos but I was not in any of them My wife and I enjoyed this tour. It was a lot of fun and you do get very wet so it was wise to bring a change of clothes. They need larger locker units or they need to tell you to come wearing a swimsuit instead of regular clothes. I was going to buy the whole photo package and was disappointed that I barely showed in the video and photos. Please, you do need more cameras to record the people or tell me where to sit so that I will be in the field of view for the video camera. I wanted that video but all I could see was the Chinese group that we shared the group with. I wish that the trip was longer in duration. I wish that there was a thrill ride version where there are more bumps and jumps like when I white water rafted in Costa Rica. On the positive side there is a military discount and I appreciate that military discount. If you want the video and photos it matters were you sit so ask ahead of time about that. I thought it would not matter so I failed to ask beforehand, and they failed to tell me that they only had two cameras recording the experience. If you are there when the free trolley is running you can take it from Niagara Falls all the way to Lewiston; give yourself plenty of time and take into account being at the launch site an hour ahead of the departure time. Buy a cell phone plastic holder before doing this activity. The water temperature in September was fantastic. I just miss all the awesome pictures I could have had...

Take the Jet Dome tour where you do the same tour but in a covered boat instead of the open-top jet boat

There is no age limit, though there is a height limit (you must be at least 44 inches tall or 3 feet 4 inches). You must be of good health, free of heart, neck or back issues and not pregnant.

Seating is first come, first served and cannot be reserved. Young children (under 10 must sit towards the back of the boat)

Trips departing from Niagara-on-the-Lake are 60 minutes (round trip) while tours departing from Niagara Falls ON and Lewiston NY are 45 minutes (round trip). This time difference is because of the locations' proximity to the Niagara Gorge. All 3 departures spend the same amount of time in the rapids!

From either departure point, we travel upriver (south) and into the Niagara Gorge. Once in the gorge, 175 ft walls ascend from above the water line. The boat makes its way into the famous whirlpool and then we head back on down (north) through Devil's Hole Rapids. You return to the same location from which you boarded as our tour is a round trip excursion.

There are 8 boats in the fleet. The Jet Dome holds 40 passengers. The Wet Jet boats hold 48 passengers each and two hold 54 passengers.

Last Thursday a group of us took the Sunset Cruise on the Manatee Queen. Our 2 hour cruise around Singer and Palm Beach Islands was wonderful. Captain John and Mark did a great job. John pointed out homes and clubs as well as some of the super yachts. Wine, beer, soft drinks and snacks were included. And the service from the people (real people) who took the reservation, to the staff who followed up several times to check to see if we need transportation to the dock to the young woman in the Marina office who helped us find the right dock were OUTSTANDING. They'd rate 10+. Customer Service is an after thought in many (most) places now. Not with GET WET. These people actually care and want to make sure your experience is great. I will definitely use them again.

Thank you Tad for such a wonderful review! We take pride in knowing our guests are having the best experience possible. We look forward to having you back!

We booked Get Wet Watersports catamaran boat to take us out in the ocean for my friend's bachelorette party. We had a great time and the crew was very accommodating to doing whatever we felt in the mood for. They took us out to sea where we could jump in and swim around in the ocean and then we also got to dock in closer to other boats and float around on the giant lily pad which was lots of fun. The boat was clean and we could also play our music over the Bluetooth speakers which was a plus. We also started late since the previous party was running behind but they kept us out even later which was great!

Get Wet Watersports is one of the locations that provides kayak rentals to use to kayak to Peanut Island. They were reasonably priced, actually the best priced in the area, with a snorkeling package for two being only $100 ($130 online after taxes and fees). Arrive early, as they do get busy and the weather changes quickly. My service was at first not too pleasant; young lady with the black, short hair/ bob was really snippy because I didn't have my card that I booked with online. I had multiple different ways to show it was my information. I had to walk back to the car to get and show another card. ID was not enough. That's understandable, but kindness does a long way. Thankfully, a young man stepped in upon my return and he was great to work with. I definitely recommend for the price and rentals provided.

Kayak rental- peanut island

had a great time, guys were great and gave a lot of information about the area. 4 of us went on 5/5, will do it again

We were with Get Wet Watersports this past Christmas Eve. It wasn't a snorkel trip or anything, it was a Christmas lights trip. I had heard about it and figured it would be a perfect Florida way to see lights. It wasn't too hard to find, there was a fella with the company outside the gate leading to the boat docks that led us to our ride. It was funny to see the responses from the crew and the guests to the cold. it was about 45 degrees, which it sure wasnt 2 weeks before when I had gotten the tickets. Everyone was bundled up good. The company had sent an email that day suggesting we bring a blanket, which did help alot. It was a pleasant ride(other than the biting cold), with Christmas music playing, the crew handing out beers and of course lights. There wasn't actually that much in the way of lights over all, just a handful of houses that stepped up. But it was still a nice night. There was a sense of comradery among everyone that we were goign through this together on that chilly night. After it all we kindly said good bye. I'm sure I will recommend to plenty of people for next year!

Lily and Dan were awesome! Dan was a great captain and full of information. Lilly was so fun to snorkel with. We saw a lot of fish and the water was so clear. Everything was easy from booking the snorkel trip to finding the kiosk and going out on the boat. So much fun. They provide drinks as well! The equipment is in good condition too.

We had a wonderful time! Dan was a great Captain! Makayla was awesome too! Are friends from Chicago loved it! We got incredible pictures of the beautiful sunset! Cissy N

Looking to book on the weekend? You *must* make an online reservation. We didn't know this and we still got our snorkels, but when we arrived they had us book online. Snorkels are $30 for snorkels and flippers. We picked these up before taking the boat to peanut island. You don't need the flippers, but they def help get you moving in the snorkeling area in the water on peanut island. They guys working the booth were super chill, kinda slow, but very nice.

We booked the Kayak/snorkeling Peanut Island excursion and felt that it was worth the price. Mark was our guide, and he was knowledgeable and accommodating. Next time, I'd be find with taking the self-guided tour. But this being our first time at this location, we felt safer having a guide.

Thank you!!

The people are super nice, parking was kind of far and hard to get a spot on a saturday. Went to peanut island and was way overcrowded with boats. We got paddle boards and it was nearly impossible to dock on Peanut Island and we had to go to the far end not even the actual island because there was too many boats. No one listens to the no wake zone even though there's a marina right there so it's pretty scary paddle boarding with huge waves and boats creating wakes in every direction. Completely ruined the experience because we couldn't paddle anywhere or stand, we didn't feel safe paddle boarding there because of the boats ignoring no wake zone you pretty much had to stay out of their way because they did not care about anyone's safety. You weren't able to swim at peanut island because of the boats, half of them not anchored correctly so they were just floating around. Definitely not swimmable. We paid for half a day and stayed for not even 2 hours. I would recommend 1 hour max and not going on a weekend.
