The White Water Walk is certainly pretty ... there's lots of lush foliage on one side and rapids on the other. But it's only a quarter-mile long and overcrowded with tourists. There's simply no reason to charge for this "attraction," and it's not an enjoyable way to observe nature. I recommend you skip this and instead visit Goat and Three... more

It is impressive to see class six rapids, and harrowing to imagine being in a boat, or only slightly worse, directly in the raging torrent. But if you don't have the combo Adventure Pass, paying for this attraction may not be worth it. The story boards they have posted are an attempt to make the experience more interesting. more

We went first thing in the morning. It was quiet and there were only a handful of people. We had the 4 event package tour. I would gladly have traded the walk under the falls for another trip down by the whitewater. I could have spent longer and would buy another separate ticket to see it again. more

Facilities run down. Trees overgrown along most of the walk. You can't see the rapids the majority of the trip. more

THis was a really cool way to get really close to the rapids. It was my 12yr old daughters favourite thing on our whole USA/Canada holiday. It was amazing to watch the whirling waters right in front of you.We took heaps of photos. It was only a short trip but it should definately be on your places to visit at... more

The White Water Walk is ok, not great. Bundled with the other attraction in the passes it is ok to see, but I would not buy tickets stand alone. As with most everything in Niagara Falls it starts with a tight elevator ride down to the river level. Once down and out of the tunnel it is a fairly simple... more

We went in Sept., so had no waiting time or crowds. It was so relaxing and hypnotic, not to mention beautiful. Don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much in a crowded situation. It was a good way to start the day. Recommend, especially if this is your first visit. more

This was so thrilling to be allowed to get so close to the waterfalls. The roar of the water is incredible. Found it unbelieveable that they let you get so close. It was very cold and cloudy the day we went, so was a little leary about going. Water was very warm, but the air was very cold. But oh... more

Went down with my son. He thought it was awesome with being so close to the water and seeing the water. It was a longer walk than I had expected. It was just one of those things you have to see to appreciate more

This was the attraction that we waited the longest for out of everything that came with the gorge pass. You take an elevator down to rapids. They are to be the most dangourous in the world. You walk along a 1/4 mile (each way) boardwalk. You can see the rapids and take pictures of them while walking. The rapids are... more
