The Experience

The best view of Niagara Falls is the one from above

The Niagara Falls helicopter tour is a 12-minute scenic flight over the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, giving you an aerial view of Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls in a single unforgettable ride.

You lift off from the Victoria Avenue Heliport, trace the Niagara River past the Whirlpool and gorge, then sweep almost directly over the thundering brink of Horseshoe Falls. The views are unbeatable, so no one misses the moment. Flights run all year, weather permitting.

  • All three waterfalls seen from the air in one flight
  • Fly aboard the Airbus H130 — one of the quietest helicopters in its class
  • Live-narrated flight path with an individual headset for every passenger
  • Free reschedule or full refund if weather grounds your flight

The Showpiece

Straight over the brink of Horseshoe Falls

The Canadian Horseshoe Falls carries roughly 90% of the Niagara River over its curved edge — and from the air you pass almost directly above it. On a clear day the mist throws a rainbow across the gorge and the water glows deep green as it curls over the rim.

It is the single most photographed moment of the flight, and the reason travellers call the helicopter tour the best way to experience Niagara Falls.
