The Best Helicopter Tours in Niagara Falls

Ranked, reviewed and price-checked — 4 Niagara Falls helicopter tours compared, starting from $154.

Why fly over Niagara Falls?

A Niagara Falls helicopter tour delivers a perspective on the falls that boats, towers and observation decks simply cannot match. Flights depart from the Canadian side at Niagara Helicopters in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and trace the Niagara River from the Whirlpool Rapids and Devil's Hole down to the Horseshoe Falls — circling directly over the rim for an unforgettable view of 168,000 cubic metres of water plunging every minute. The 12-minute flight is one of the best-value helicopter experiences in the world, and the flight pattern is engineered so every seat enjoys an unobstructed window view. Sunrise flights catch the rainbow that forms in the morning mist; winter flights reveal a surreal frozen landscape unlike anywhere else on earth.
