The rain coats on the boat ride do the job quite well. I used my
digital camera, without the case, and kept it under the coat. The coat
isn't needed until the boat is right up at the base of the falls. Even
then, it's possible to get to places in the boat which are dry. Once
we got back, we were both dry under the coat. It's definitely an
experience worth trying.

Here's what we bought. Well worth the money!
