Seeing the falls from on high is great but it is even better than that.

We went on a Saturday at three. Parking was free and easy. There were no queues. We paid - do not forget to ask for a 10% discount (the tokens are widely available and they will give it to you whether you have the tokens or not if you ask). We had to wait only 20 minutes for a ride. The usual photos are taken prior to the flight and than the best bit - when the helicopter takes off the pilot swings it around twice for more photos before sweeping up into the sky.

The helicopter is forced to stay quite high around the falls, but the sight is great. What you miss (which you get from other falls attractions) is the the feeling of the power of the water going over the falls.

The helicopter seats 6 and all seats offer a good view. The back middle seat is the worst the front seat by the pilot obviously the best.

The photos are $22 (plus tax - not charged if you show ticket). There is a reasonably priced gift shop with the usual tourist tat and a cafe.

A fantastic way to see the whole Niagara area. Straight in and up and away. Don't leave Niagara without doing this trip. Great commentary and attentive staff, just fabulous!

This is a must do if you're in niagara falls! My boyfriend and I found a coupon online for 27$ off a flight.. google it, it's legit!! We ended up paying 210$ for the both of us. They offer a nice gift shop. You walk around the back and get in line for the helicopter ride. We got there around 930 am so there wasnt very many people in line. We probably only had to wait 20-30 min to get on our helicopter. We skipped a lot of people in line because there was only two of us. The helicopters hold 6 passengers. The view from the helicopter was fantastic. It's a completely different view of the falls. The only thing I didn't prefer is the pre-recorded info about the falls that they have you listen to. If you are on the flight with someone that doesnt speak english then you have to listen to a foreign language as well as your own... would have been nice if there were mics so we could have spoke to each other. Other than that, fantastic!

Wanted to get the whole perspective for some co-workers of what exactly the Niagara area is. If you think is is beautiful on the ground wait to you go vertical and see the entire escarpment and you soon realize how spectacular it is. We first went to a place that advertised as the # 1 Helicopter tour in the area, first off it was not in the area and when they rolled out their old piece of equipment I could not believe it, we got in the van and headed back to Niagara, When we pulled we saw what professionalism should be, we paid and got a 10% discount without asking and that was appreciated. Within twenty minutes we up in a nice clean top of the line Bell 407 and what fun it was. When we got back down we were offered some picutes at a real reasonable price that made us feel they were not trying to gouge us. We went upstairs and had one of the best lunches in the Sky Bar. Cant wait to go back!!
