About this activity
To stand at the heart of Niagara, you’ll first need to descend 150 feet and explore 130-year-old tunnels through the bedrock, but you’ll feel the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls long before you see them.
The observation deck at the foot of this 13-story-tall wonder will leave you breathless (and maybe a little bit wet), but don’t forget the viewing portals cut straight through the rock, offering a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashing down in front of you.
Take a 12 minute Helicopter ride over the famous Horseshoe falls and the American Falls. Fly over the whirlpool where the Niagara River turn at a 90 degree angle and observe the category 6 waves.
It’s clear why our helicopter tours are so popular among Niagara Falls attractions combine adventure and spectacular views. As the helicopter lifts the awe-inspiring views of the Niagara Region begin to appear below. The tour follows the Niagara River from the Whirlpool area (look for the Spanish Aero Car crossing the gorge), over the Whirlpool Rapids and the Rainbow Bridge. The green grass and floral beauty of Queen Victoria Park stretches below as the helicopter passes by the American Falls and the Skylon Tower. Just when it looks as if you will reach the Fallsview area, your Niagara Falls helicopter tour begins to change direction following the curve of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Rainbows appear and disappear from all directions. The helicopter levels off and continues along the route back to base.

When we booked the tickets through Viator, had to give dates. Weather changed after we got there (booked a month out). Suspected we might get rained out. Called and they were happy to allow us to use the passes a day early. Wonderful flight, staff does a good job of preparing passengers. want the best seats? be one of the first two in line for the flight; front seat. Flights take 6 people. The pass was a good deal, saved a fair amount over the window prices.
