Description
The Saint John Reversing Falls Rapids Thrill Ride Jet Boat Tour is one of the kind opportunity to experience one of the world’s most powerful natural phenomena; Reversing Falls Rapids, up close and, that too, right from the water. Operated by See Sight Tours Jetboats, this 30-minute experience is a high-adrenaline adventure. This tour is perfect for travelers with a sense of adventure and a curiosity for nature’s extremes.
Your journey begins at a central meeting point near downtown Saint John; 56 Water Street. From here, you’ll board the Saint John Reversing Falls jet boat led by a knowledgeable local captain. The jet boat will glide along the Saint John River, passing notable waterfront sights including glimpses of downtown Saint John and Fort La Tour.
The main highlight of the tour is, of course, the Reversing Falls Rapids. This natural phenomenon is caused by the collision of the Bay of Fundy’s tidal surge with the Saint John River’s natural flow that reverses the river’s direction twice daily. Moreover, the 60 meters deep, underwater ledges create intense swirling rapids and standing waves. The Saint John Reversing Falls Rapids Thrill Ride Jet Boat Tour gives you an opportunity to ride these waves. This part of the ride is both thrilling and awe-inspiring, where you witness the raw power of nature.
