This was a neat experience. I wouldn’t say it was the best thing we did in Niagara, but it was definitely a good time. The ride is about 15 mins and it is very smooth. I expected it to be a little rough, so it was surprising how smooth it was. The view of the area & the falls is... More

Do NOT win, bid on or except any complimentary tickets with this company. Because you will have to wait until paying customers joins you on a flight over the falls. You can not be the only 2 passengers on the helicopter. So if you are they at 9 am when they open to avoid any lineups or crowds, you might... More

We at Niagara Helicopters are very sorry for the inconvenience this situation caused. As stated on the certificate, it is true that we have a policy that complimentary ticket holders fly with paying customers whenever possible, however we have NEVER ignored a client for 2 hours . Our staff try to keep our clients informed and to let them know... More

Went for a ride on February 20, 2012. It was a beautiful clear day. The view is just amazing. A lot of great pictures. The cost would be on par for a helicopter ride. Look for a coupon or CAA discount. The service is good. All you need to do is show up and get in line. The heliport facility... More

This is a one time event, but a great way to see the general area of the Falls community. The equipment is top of the line birds too. Ask for a seat by the pilot it is the best. They also do pictures after you get off and they are cool it is just what you want to pay and... More

This was seriously the best part of my entire trip to Niagara Falls. I had been several times, but never seen them like this. AMAZING! The Niagara Helicopters tour is easily the best, and most exciting way to see the Falls. Located a short drive up the River Road, you climb on board at the heli-pad before you are quickly... More

Personally I've always been afraid of heights and cliffs and all those types of things, including helicopters. But after my trip above Niagara Falls and a stunningly beautiful, breathtaking scene appeared before my eyes, it was hard to be afraid. You could see for miles around and then right below us, as our pilot did slow circles in the sky... More
