Whirlpool Jet Boats Launches Historical Freedom TourĀ 

This tourism season, Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours is excited to introduce the brand-new Historical Freedom Tour.

Guests on the tour will enjoy breathtaking scenic views and learn about the Niagara River’s history, aboard the climate-controlled Freedom Jet vessel, all at a more relaxed pace compared to the typical Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour experience.

ā€œWe are thrilled to add this tour to our offerings,ā€ says John Kinney, President of Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours. ā€œOur team has worked tirelessly to create an adventure that provides a unique twist on our experience while maintaining the authenticity of Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours.ā€

Ā 

Unlike the standard tours, this excursion doesn’t venture into the Gorge or tackle the Class V Rapids. Instead, it journeys to the mouth of Lake Ontario, where guests will learn about the significant historical and cultural events along the Niagara River over the past 300 years of its geological transformation. Key learning topics include the War of 1812 and the Underground Railroad.

With its relaxed pace, the 45-to-60-minute tour is ideal for various demographics, including the elderly, individuals with limitations preventing them from partaking in the standard tour and those seeking a more educational experience. The Historical Freedom Tour is also a good starting point for those who are unsure about participating in a standard tour.

ā€œWhile we are proud of our presence in the Ontario tourism industry, there were still a few demographics we wanted to reach,ā€ says Kinney. ā€œWe believe this tour is the perfect solution to connect with those audiences.ā€

All Historical Freedom Tours require a minimum of 15 guests to book and must be made through the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tours’ Group Sales Department. The tour departs from both the Canadian dock in Niagara Falls and the American dock in Lewiston.
