Top Niagara Falls Helicopter Tours

Cheryl was very good ensuring we got in before big buses, and ensuring we enjoyed every venue -

Heidi was an amazing tour guide! She made for a very fun day. From the helicopter ride to the maple syrup tasting, boat rude and CN Tower we had a great time!

The best way to spend a day(ish)! The guide had a list of places to see, like Terrapin Point and Cave of the Winds, but remained flexible nonetheless; ours found time to fit in breakfast at a local coffee house which was delish! The Maid of the Mist, unsurprisingly, was very cool, and the heli ride was spectacular. 10 out of 10!

One of the best experiences we have ever had, the pilot was great, super friendly staff. We wanted to book another flight as soon as we landed!

Not necessarily cheap, but worth it. Had to postpone a day because the weather did not allow for a flight on the booked day. Was absolutely problem-free. Great experience, which cannot be compared to the view from below.

This is a great tour. The guide was excellent and made the tour even more fun.

Ask for Saied he was the best tour guide. He told amazing stories, very friendly and very knowledgeable about Niagara Falls.

"Jimmy coyote" and Gary are the best tour guides. Jimmy so knowledgeable about the history. They understood are needs at times to slow down. Jimmy went out of his way to make sure we got the helicopter ride. I could go on they were A++++

Our guide Cheryl was pleasant, funny and very knowledgeable. She shared fun facts and history all throughout our tour. Cheryl was able to adjust our arrival times to help avoid crowds which kept was moving at just the right pace, which I’m sure, is not always possible but it was so nice to know our guide was trying hard to make our tour flow. This tour was the perfect combination of adventure, meeting other travelers and a wonderful guide.

Views from Helicopter/Tower were amazing and experiencing the spray from the falls up close on boat and under the falls was an experience in itself. Frank our tour guide was top class :)

Rainbow Ari Helicopter Tours was a beautiful experience to see Niagara Falls with views of both the American and the Canadian sides. The ride is about 15 minutes long and the helicopter has large windows for viewing and taking photos/videos. The hours are 9-dusk, weather permitting. The Tour offers pick up at select downtown Niagara hotels but it was not needed as there was a large free parking lot at their location at 56 Archeson Drive, Niagara Falls, NY. Call ahead to book and to check if the weather allows the helicopter to fly that day. A short safety film is required before the flight before ear protection is put off before going outside. Clothing cannot be loose and bags even pocketbooks are not allowed for safety. They have lockers to use if needed. The staff are friendly and the facility is very clean. Photos are taken in front of the helicopter before the ride and from each side of the open helicopter doors before they are closed for take off. The photos can be purchased after the ride is over. They have a gift store and fascinating historical displays to enjoy as well. Also there is a Niagara Vitural Gameplay attraction inside the facility wereby you sit in a sling with a virtual 360 degree headset on. You can control your parasailing ride over the falls to score points or just enjoy your Niagara Falls and goat island virtual ride. This can make some people feel dizzy though.

Great experience. We flew over the falls for a fantastic view. Didn’t even feel like we left the ground!

We were celebrating our 35th anniversary and this was our first time to Niagara Falls. Emma was a fantastic tour guide and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a wonderful time. It definitely was one of the best days of our lives.

Covers lots of different things including a helicopter ride, maid of the mist boat trip and lots of interesting information, we finished with a short drive to see the Whirlpool State Park. Our guide Mark was really good fun and really helped us get the most of our tour

Our tour guide was awesome, he explained everything to us even helped us not getting a ticket we almost flew our drone lol

What an incredible experience! Our guide was so patient and kind. The boys were blown away by the helicopter ride, but then getting to experience the falls on the maid of the mist, and then cave of the winds was icing on the cake. They managed all of the tickets and driving and parking and ushering us to the right place at the right time and made it so easy and effortless. It was the highlight of our 2 1/2 week, 14-state roadtrip for sure..
