Great exprience. Still very pricy for the total time. As many people have written in their reviews, it is amazing to see such a place from up above. Me and my wife did this for our anniversary and we had seen the falls from the boat and the usual walk around so I thought it would be a once in a lifetime thing to try this. I knew how long the flight would be since I had read the reviews. The experience itself is really amazing, however i still think the value for the $ is a bit high. I understand what goes along with the safety protocols, maintenance etc but $500 for 20 minutes is still a bit too steep in my opinion even with the incredible views you get. Now putting that aside if you want to have this as a once in a lifetime experience and you can afford it I think you wont leave feeling bad about trying it out. The views really are incredible from up there. We had amazing weather, sunny and no clouds so the views we got were outstanding.

Quality aircraft and crew. Weather was great and we had stunning views and an exceptional experience.
Absolutely wonderful experience. Was amazing view over the falls. Our pilot Tyler was fantastic and kept us all calm and gave us the best experience we could possibly dream of so a huge thank you to him. Definitely recommend and great value for money. A trip if a life time
The experience of a lifetime - it was wonderful & worth every penny. My 82 year old Mum had waited a lifetime to see Niagara Falls and her first view of it was from a helicopter. This was such a special and magical experience
This was wonderful. First helicopter ride and great view of the Falls and surrounding area. Pilot was great.
I agree that the views were simply awesome and when we reached the airport ground staff were good however the most disappointing part of this 20 minutes was the pilot who did not introduce himself , was completely disengaged and there was no communication or information about the trip the Canadian side and the US side of the Niagara Falls. Probably the pilot was having a bad day at the office. I wonder what was the use of the headphones?
Great views over the falls.Would have liked a little commentary along the way.We had a few clouds only so views were good.
Amazing company to deal with. Cloud cover day one so very quickly rebooted with no hassle at all. Refund offered if required. Very impressive.
Excellent staff and friendly pilot. We were scheduled for 11am but got there early, they took us up shortly after we arrived. The views were amazing and skies were clear with a very smooth flight. We were both so happy we did this experience together. I HIGHLY recommend this if you have the oppprtunity to do it!
We enjoyed the flight and the view. Very smooth flight but very short (did not seem like 20 minutes). Views were amazing.
We had to be flexible as there was rain in the area, so we got delayed from 10 am to 12 pm. But that was only for our own safety. Other than that it was 20 minutes of fabulous, beautiful scenery of all 3 falls. Highly recommended.
It’s was a dream come true more then i expected love it enjoyed every minute of it comfortable sits for 2.,took pic and video I will remember always !!!! Who know I may book again maybe in Toronto!!! Thank you to the pilot for the memorable comfortable 20 minutes fly! Thank you !😊
The staff and pilot were very professional. The visibility was not optimal on the day we flew due to smoke from forest fires, but once we reached the Falls we could see them clearly. Only wished it would have been longer 😆
It was amazing! The pilot did an awesome job. The pilots helper was very polite as well. I would definitely do did again.
People there are very friendly and accommodating The tour is very good but a bit too short. Supposed to be 20mins ride it it's only 15mins.
Flight was delayed due to low clouds which is ok. However, it is not 20mins. Actually, it’s right at 10min flight. It was nice but very fast.
Quick trip with excellent views of the falls and surrounding areas. Jay was a confident pilot and the aircraft was clean and well maintained.
It’s a quick trip with excellent views of the falls. Jay was a skilled pilot and the aircraft was clean and appeared in good condition.
We loved every moment of it! The crew was professional and the helicopter ride was fantastic! Highly recommended.
We recommend this company so highly. Tyler and Justin were amazing. They rescheduled our flight without hesitation from previous day, as weather was unfavourable, and wanted us to enjoy the best possible experience safely. Such a smooth flight and pointed put all the points of interest along the way. Incredible tour, outstanding, thank you.
We had a fantastic experience in the helicopter, absolutely loved it! Very smooth journey - couldn’t recommend it more! Sitting next to the pilot was amazing to see 180 views across the journey. Thank you very much!
Wow Wow! Would highly recommend this helicopter experience with this company! The best service right from when you arrive until you say Goodbye! A must do to see Niagara Falls from above and with these guys! Thanks
Excellent friendly service. Great flight. Thank you
Very knowledgeable and friendly pilot. Very enjoyable. Fantastic views! Well worth it. We had a great time. Thank you
Fantastic ecperience, great pilot friendly and informative , nice to have slightly longer flight over some other scenery before the magnificance of the falls , defintly a life event ticked off and fully reccomend
The pilot was a great host and the helicopter was in great shape. The tour was excellent, lots to see on the way and the pilot ensured everyone on both sides of the helicopter got to see the main sights. Fantastic experience and well worth it.
100% top experience with nice persons.
Smooth flight, awesome pilot! Ery knowledgeable and friendly! Will definitely be booking again, mark my words!
Great experience (time flew by!) and a fantastic pilot, never felt unsafe even though this was my first helicopter ride.
OUTSTANDING!! Our flight was beautiful, even in November. Our pilot was fantastic! Highly recommend to anyone!
Amazing venture, highly recommend. Would definitely do again. Very personable. Tyler narrated the entire flight.
Although brief (20 minutes flight includes 6-8 minutes directly over The Falls), it's an awesome experience with spectacular views that you can only get from a helicopter! Safe & friendly pilot & staff makes it even better. At every featured viewing spot (The Falls, Niagara River Gorge and Whirlpool Rapids), the pilot circles around from BOTH perspectives that provides passengers on both sides to get an opportunity for the best views and photos! He even "banks the turn" so that you're looking straight down over The Falls!! Only thing that could make it better is a longer flight and more time in the air to see additional sights, but that requires permission for a different flight path and a higher cost! What's FREE and could be added is more narrative from the pilot for better information and statistics about The Falls, Niagara River Gorge, USA & Canada cooperation, etc We were so blessed with a perfect weather day❣️
Amazing experience - glad we persuaded my sister in law to come too! Trip never to be forgotten! Weather was perfect and so clear!
Be sure to call the morning of your flight because the weather can change quickly. We had to reschedule, but they were very flexible! The view is unsurpassed !!! You fly way south over the falls and river . Plus you get to see some beautiful countryside. Our pilot was great at pointing things out!!! There were 3 in our group, so one sat up front and 2 in the backseat. Pictures were easy from the front seat!!!
The pilot was great, he was funny and informative. The view was amazing, very cool way to see the falls. Worth every penny!
Excellent trip, pilot was brilliant gave good commentary and was able to make the views over to falls with his flight path Would recommend this longer flight
It was awesome. Helicopter tour over niagara falls. Pilot was great and knowledgeable. Very smooth flight.
Very safe and exciting; excellent seating with a windows view for all. The crew and staff were very professional and the facilites are new and clean.
Birds eye view of 1 of the wonders of the world. Very personal. Incredible professional experience. Travelled extensively and this experience top of the list
It was a unique experience! The ride is short but very safe, and the view is absolutely spectacular. I highly recommend it—100%! It’s a reliable and professional company.
This was an incredible experience. A way to see & experience Niagara Falls, that you just can’t get from the ground.
Great views if the falls and the crew was very helpful and fun. We would recommend this to others!!!
It's an experience we were taken up in the helicopter and the view was amazing. The trip lasted about twenty minutes.
Parker and Tyler, thank you so much for making this experience happen, on arrival the sky was cloudless but unfortunately very low clouds quickly set in, we were given the opportunity to cancel, postpone or wait for better conditions, we said we would like to wait, in that case they said let us transport you to a nearby vineyard experience, all free of charge, after picking us up the weather had improved, we then had the most amazing flight over the falls, we were treated like royalty, can't recommend theses guys enough they were amazing and so was the experience, thanks again guys, Andy and Lynn
Above five star experience!!! They were very communicative and ensured our experience was of value and enjoyment. We rescheduled a few different times only due to weather and ensuring our experience was as enjoyable as it could be and it was! We can’t say enough good about these guys. Parker and Tyler were amazing! It’s rare to see companies focused on giving the best experience possible, so we felt we were valued customers for sure. Thanks so much!!
Amazing trip with Parker! Stunning views of Niagara and no waiting in line! A must if you’re visiting the area.
Excellent experience. Highly recommended recommend!!!! Helicopter was brand new, was very comfortable, pilot was engaging and speaking with us as we toured, was overall an excellent experience
Great flight! The pilot (Parker) was terrific and explained all the attractions below. Would do it again!
The men running the helicopter tour are fantastic!! The airport was easy to find. The trip over the falls had views you could not get any other way! Loved the whole experience!!
A belated birthday present for my husband. We took a private helicopter tour of Niagara Falls with sparkling wine and then landed at Pellar Estate for a magnificent lunch, after which we were chauffeured back to our hotel. From talking to both Tyler and Matthew, via Email months in advance to organise, to having Tyler meet us at the restaurant to take our empty glasses and then come back hours later to drive us home. I couldn’t fault these guys (and our pilot). A huge thank you!
