Thrilling experience - even though the weather wasn't great. I'd visited the falls the day before both walking and in a jet boat but this was simply the best. A fantastic way to really understand just how massive these falls are. I felt the ride was too short - but this is probably because I would have stayed up there for about an hour just taking shooting movies. There was no queue when I arrived but as a solo passenger I had to wait for at least 2 more people (they only fly with min 3). I'm not sure how comfortable the flight would have been if we were more than 4 people and I don't think I would've been happy with a middle seat. All in all definitely worth it if, like me, you love watching nature at it's most powerful and majestic. I didn't stop smiling for hours 😁

Jill_v, Apr 2024

Amazing. It was an amazing experience, well worth the money. I would advise it to everyone. Best view to see the waterfalls.

Nice flight over the Iguaçu Falls

JuanCarlos_F, Apr 2024

Nice flight over the Iguaçu Falls of 9-10 minutes, of which 2-3 are close to the waterfall area. Little waiting time in our case (~10 min).

Flying high for hours after 😍

Kerry_B, Mar 2024

Incredible experience

Ildiko_M, Jan 2024

It was an amazing experience. Iguazu is stunning and the view from the air was extra. Thank You for the experience!!

Do the upgrade 35mins!

Robert_A, Dec 2023

We booked 07:30 -17:00, our driver from Argentine side, was spot on time and delivered at the end of the day as the tour is designed to buy 10mins and upgrade to 35mins. Also gives you plenty of time to do the Iguazu Rubber ducky River Falls at Macuco Brazilian NP (get the priority VIP pass, plus the late lunch at Belmond Hotel). We arrived at a casual 11:45 with a 10 min check in and was on board with in 5mins, as most groups do 10mins and choppers are packed. Upgrade and you may get yours self the whole whirly bird as we did.! Obviously co-pilot navigator seat is the best. Mandatory for all pilots to speak English and Keeve was charming knowledgeable and a wealth of information. No need to spoil it for you, just amazing and if you’re looking here, you are obviously doing it! No disappointments, maybe’s or what if’s! Just The best chopper experience like no other. Just Do It!

Amazing views, a must experience in Iguaza!

Mark_J, Dec 2023

Amazing views of the falls, a very professional setup! Compared to some helicopter flights I've been on, but a minor issue!

Great experience

delimar554, Dec 2023

Excellent service and experience. You can see the entire area very well in the time the tour lasts. It was a pleasant experience.

Awesome experience

Widmer_S, Dec 2023

Best Helicopter Tour

Angel_P, Nov 2023

Fantastic, wonderful experience, a must! After Purchasing the ticket that states a time of 9-5pm (Brazil side), if on the Argentine side, you can get a driver that will give air you across the boarder and back when ready (bring your passports). We left the hotel (LOI Suites in Argentina, Iguazu Falls) at 10am, which took about 35 minutes to get across the boarder. (If leaving earlier, don’t suggest on a week day, you can wait for 90 to 120 minutes to cross over. We arrived at the helicopter entrance around 1050am, show your viator ticket, they will print new ones, and we waited for 30 minutes to board the helicopter. The wait was fun, watching other helicopters land and take off. If wanting to do more, across the street, their is a bird park , it took us 2 hours, some groups do this in 1 hour. Drivers use “what’s app”. Great experience for us, we highly recommend seeing the falls on the Brazilian side this way. (On the Argentina side, we did a speed boat ride which you can book early in the morning, (around 9am) at the Iguazu park itself, meaning, take your own transportation over, and purchase an entry park ticket at the gate, then walk through the gate and about 1 minute into your walk you will see a excursion booth, buy tickets for the boat there if wanted, these speed boat tickets stop selling by 130pm /mid day at the park itself). I know there is a lot here, enjoy ♥️

Wait to book in person and save A LOT of money.

Andre_M, Jul 2023

The views are amazing but it’s much cheaper to book in person rather than booking ahead. There is very little wait time even in high season.

TAKE THE RIDE, just don't book it.

Jean_L, Apr 2023

Highly recommend taking the helicopter! The helicopter company is great. I've taken many great tours with Viator, and this is the first one I highly recommend you don't go through them and just head directly to the chopper. It's a first come first serve 9-12 window. Don't believe it if they give you a time. I did and had to wait outside a closed company for an hour with my family. But the chopper is fabulous! What amazing views of the falls!

Amazing

Boris_K, Mar 2023

Very well organized. Amazing experience and unforgettable views. They take you over the falls, forest and river and you can see it from up in the air.

Go for it guys, it’s...

Sumit_P, Mar 2023

Go for it guys, it’s worth it. You will get best of the views which you can’t see from land or from the river.

Great experience!!!

Hendrika_J, Jan 2023

What a great experience! From the helicopter you can see how big the area is. Stunning views and I was lucky enough to sit next to the pilot. Staff was very accurate with the safety procedures, but very friendly at the same time. Absolutely recommended!!

Worth $30US per person (10000 pesos p.p.)

Nathalie_D, Jan 2023

Much fun and great view unless you are in the two middle seats. Skip the hotel pickup and organize a remis or taxi with your hotel instead. Pay in pesos, charge to credit card. Entrance to Brazil park is next door, definitely go there too.

Flighting on iguacu

maria_I, Dec 2022

I liked when the helicopter turned. It wasn’t go to low like the way that I thought but it was ok. We could get good videos.

Excellent and well run attraction

Joanne_R, Nov 2022

Excellent attraction , well run an£ easy to locate - a must do . Waited 20 minutes maximum so don’t be put off by no time slots

Rain shutdown plans

Shauna_G, May 2022

trip had to be canceled due to heavy rand on Saturday. Hated that we weren’t able to go. Waiting for refund.

Response from Host, May 2022

Good afternoon, The refund was made on May 30, as requested. We are sorry that you couldn't make the flight with us, our focus is always on passenger safety. And in bad weather, there really is no way to fly. We look forward to seeing you at the next opportunity.

Do not miss

Loana_L, Apr 2022

Do not miss! What an awesome experience! Great overview of all the falls. The pilot made sure both sides could see everything . There was not a bad seat as everything was see through. Just wished we would have booked this first so we could understand exactly how the entire falls looked.
