What To Expect

You can see Niagara Falls from eye level on the street. You can climb a tower and see it from above. You can even take a boat right to the edge of the falls. But nowhere else can you experience a view of Niagara Falls from the sky like this one, onboard a helicopter flying high above one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.

Begin this Niagara Falls helicopter tour at the heliport at the end of Victoria Avenue across the street from the Whirlpool Rapids in Niagara Falls. Meet the tour’s expert pilot and climb on board a 7-passenger Airbus H130 helicopter, featuring windows big enough to take great pictures.

Buckle up and get ready for lift off. Then enjoy the view from above all of Niagara’s natural and manmade attractions, flying directly over top of the American and Bridal Veil Falls, then along the curve of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Look for the Whirlpool Rapids, the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Generating Stations, the Rainbow Bridge, Queen Victoria Park, the Skylon Tower and more.

Throughout the tour, listen to taped commentary about the sites through a special headset.

Great day for a ride
Jill_H, May 2024
We had a clear day, and the views were amazing. I was hoping that the photographer would take a quick picture of me and my husband with my cell phone, but she was unwilling to do that. We had to pose with other passengers and then pay a lot of money for a printed photo afterward (if we wanted a picture). Also, there were no ear muffs to wear for ear protection during the flight — even though the recording on the helicopter referred to them.
Amazing!

Amazing views! Short wait times, and easy parking available. Crew was helpful and quick! Gift shop was neatly packed and cashier was very friendly! Ride was fun and safe!
Discrimination
Jeremy_C, Apr 2024
The views were the most memorable. I was in line first to board the helicopter, alone, and a senior citizen. There were only two other people, both young men. I was ushered to the furthest back seat and not even spoken to. This is called age discrimination. These men were my weight and height. I was singled out because of my age, and treated in a discriminatory manner.
The absolutely BEST way...

Highly recommend this wonderful experience! It is my first helicopter ride, and I think it would be one of the highlights in my life. I really enjoyed it and impressed.
Epic trip and view of the Falls
Ali_P, Mar 2024
This was a very slick operation. We arrived at 1215, only had to wait 10 minutes before the helicopter was back before it was our turn. Everyone, ground staff, pilots, reception staff were so lovely and friendly. We had great weather and so we got a great view and pictures . You get your photo taken outside the helicopter and one sitting inside that you can purchase if you want to. You can take pictures and video yourself, you just cant use a selfie stick to do it. Excellent value for money. Felt very safe and informed.
Beautiful

Vihari_P, Jan 2024
When the rides are cancelled, we should be informed so that we will not travel that far for no reason
Bad customer service
Mohamed_A, Jan 2024
Very bad customer service. No communication. They told us to go home because the clouds were low and they will give us a call once the airplane or the clouds were high enough. Never received any phone call. Still waiting on my refund really bad customer service.

We have been on helicopter tours at other locations, and this experience was the best. The flight was short, but the ride was smooth and much quieter than others flights we have been on. Great experience!
