Niagara Helicopter Tours has been around for a lot of years (40+) providing a great sightseeing ride over the Falls and the area.

As a guide I find people that take the ride have a more complete perspective on Niagara because they’ve seen it all from the air. Granted, it isn’t a long ride, and I talk to a lot each year, but everyone I talk to right after the ride is very pleased.

Because Niagara is so much more than “just the Falls”, and is spread out over many miles, it is hard to picture where you are and how it all comes together. The helicopter tour seems to bring it all into perspective.

You can’t just walk to the pad from any of the Niagara hotels, except the Great Wolf Lodge which is across the street. You’ll need to take a cab, or be on a tour that takes you to Niagara Helicopters, or use one of the ride services.

They operate year ’round, so be sure and plan to fly over the Falls, and the Niagara Gorge. For more info, Niagara Helicopter
