NIAGARA FALLS

One of the places icon from a trip to the east coast, specifically, by the northeastern United States, is Niagara Falls, which have had the chance to visit from the side of Canada during my trip to the United States summer 2015.

But before I already had the chance to let your imagination about how they were flying, after reading the experience of the visit of Niagara Falls experienced by my friend Salvador, while traveling coast to coast, which traveled from the US side .

One of the activities offered on this visit is the opportunity to fly over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, in a similar deal to that offered to fly by helicopter over the Grand Canyon.

 Around Niagara Falls there are several companies offering tourist services with similar features.

Flying over Niagara Falls

The heliport is located just minutes from the falls on the Canadian side, and the flight takes you over the river to the American side, where you can see the Bridal Veil Falls, then head to the most famous waterfalls, on the Canadian side, the Horseshoe Falls, and Horseshoe Waterfall.

 Niagara Falls Helicopter

The flight times are between 10 and 16 hours and the helicopter flight prices (2015) range between 86 and 136 euros per person, depending on the number of people who contract while the tour. Children under four years fly free.

As in the case of the Grand Canyon, if you want to ensure the availability of flights to make the trip in a day or time certain, it is almost essential to the online purchase of tickets for helicopter Falls, more if you plan to visit the falls in time holiday or weekend.
