3.Private Tour: Romantic Niagara Falls Helicopter Flight

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 23 reviews · 25 minutes (approx.) · from $374

Fly privately from Niagara District Airport over Niagara’s wine country, Lake Ontario, Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Whirlpool Rapids, and Niagara Falls. The 25-minute Deluxe Flight includes sparkling wine for two. You’ll share the helicopter with only your companion and pilot, though weather, headset quality, and limited narration can affect the experience.

“To begin the tour was 15-20 minutes late as there was something blocking the helicopter from leaving its hangar, not a big deal I didn't mind waiting. Tour was great and the experience of being in a helicopter was my first so it was also a fantastic experience. All the staff were very friendly and commentary was good and the pilot answered all of my questions and was also very friendly. Thought the commentary could have been slightly more detailed but it was good nonetheless. Overall I would recommend the tour and rate this experience 4.5 of 5”
