Enjoy a sightseeing flight over the Falls on the Niagara Helicopter Tour.

Niagara Falls is an awe-inspiring sight, especially when viewed from the air! From the very young to the truly young-at-heart, the Niagara Falls Helicopter tour caters to people of all ages, and all nationalities. While in the air take advantage of our on-board commentary, which is available in several different languages.

As the helicopter gently lifts off from our Victoria Avenue location (Canada side), the awe-inspiring views of the Niagara Region begin to appear below. We wouldn't want any picture-taking opportunity to be missed so cameras should be ready to go right from the start.

Please Note: This flight departs from Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Itinerary

Beginning with the Sir Adam Beck Generating plant and the Niagara Parks Commission School of Horticulture, the tour follows the Niagara River from the Whirlpool area, 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 may reach the Minolta Tower, the helicopter begins to change direction as if following the curve of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls! Rainbows appear and disappear from all directions. The helicopter begins to level off and continue along the route back to base.

Very Important US-Canada Border Crossing Information

Neither Canada nor the USA will allow any person to cross an international border who does not have the proper documentation to return across that border. Everyone from every country arriving in Canada or the USA by air, land or sea now needs a passport or equivalent travel document. Equivalent travel documents include:

  • Nexus Card: A partnership between the Canada and U.S. border services that pre-approves entry for travelers by land, sea or air between Canada and U.S. An added benefit is designated and faster lanes at border crossings and airports. Application process involves interview and fingerprinting. Both U.S. and Canadian citizens apply through U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
  • US Passport Card: This U.S. Department of State-issued ID is valid for entry into Canada by land or sea, though not valid for international air travel.
  • Enhanced Driver's License (EDL): EDLs indicate both citizenship and identity and are valid for entry into Canada by land or sea, though not valid for international air travel. As of January 2009, EDLs were only available in Washington and New York states, but were planned for Vermont as well. See individual state licensing departments for more info.
  • Fast/Express Card: This U.S. Customs and Border Protection program pre-approves commercial truck drivers for travel between the U.S. and Canada.

Children ages 18 and under are required to present proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate - passports, of course, are also acceptable. If one parent is traveling with a minor child without the other parent, they must also have a notarized letter from the absent parent stating approval for the one parent to travel across the US-Canada border with the child.

Hotel pickup not included. Rates are in US dollars, and all taxes and fees are included in the price of this tour. Please order online or call 212-852-4822 to order or for more information.
