The view of one of Niagara falls (the horse shoe fall/Canadian fall) from helicopter

At first I wasn’t keen on the idea of paying a small fortune to get on a 10 minute helicopter ride (I’m a student pilot myself) but seeing that I’m here and thinking it would be great for this blog I decided to give it a go.

The helicopter fitted 5 people comfortably. Being the smallest in the group , I was allowed to sit in the co-pilot seat (side by side with the pilot:).

The helicopter ride started with the heli spinning on different direction to give the on the ground photographer to take a few snaps. Once the heli took off, I had a wonderful view of Niagara town. The view started with the narrow part of the gorge which basically was a perfect spot for extreme water activities such as white water rafting. The view got better as we got a clear view of both the American Fall and the Horse Shoe Fall (Niagara Falls).

It was a totally awesome view from the helicopter. I also got to see the dam and how fortunate I was when I chose to visit Niagara falls from Canada side as opposed to the American side. The view from Canada is definetely a lot nicer . The ride did not feel fast nor long, just perfect, enough to give you great glimpses of Niagara falls. I highly recommend you to take a helicopter ride when you visit Niagara Falls.
