Adrenaline Junkies

Wisconsin Dells is not your ordinary vacation destination. It’s a sanctuary for adrenaline junkies, a place where the rush of excitement flows as freely as the waters of its famous river and waterparks. From eerie moonlit cruises unveiling ghostly legends to high-speed jet boat adventures that leave you breathless, Wisconsin Dells offers an unparalleled array of attractions designed to elevate your heart rate and deliver that sought-after adrenaline rush. Buckle up, daredevils and thrill seekers, as we dive into the heart of the action in Wisconsin Dells. Your adventure starts now!

Embark on a voyage like no other with the GHOST BOAT, where the serene beauty of the Wisconsin River gives way to the chilling tales of Cold Water City. As night descends and the waters turn dark, this moonlit cruise takes you into the heart of a haunted canyon, filled with legends of an ancient, supernatural evil. Navigate the narrow channels, disembark into the eerie silence of the forest, and explore the skeletal ruins of a town lost in time. But tread carefully—some secrets are fiercely guarded, and not all who wander in the dark wish to return. Are you brave enough to uncover the truth or will you become a permanent part of the legend?

Experience the thrill of the Dells like never before with JET BOAT ADVENTURES, the only attraction that lets you conquer every scenic mile of this water wonderland. Choose your adventure: the winding channels and sharp bends of the Upper Dells or the high cliffs and open spaces of the Lower Dells, each offering a unique backdrop for heart-pounding excitement. Feel the power of 1200 hp engines as you zip across the water, executing spin-outs, slides, and power stops that will leave you gasping for more. With stunning vistas at every turn and the adrenaline rush of high speed maneuvers, this is one water adventure that truly makes a splash!
