Lunch is at the Sheraton Fallsview Hotel, and we also stop for a maple syrup tasting and along the Niagara Parkway at Queenston Heights, the Whirlpool and the Floral Clock.

Questions about this tour
When does the helicopter fly?
Daily from 9 AM, weather permitting; it cannot fly after dark or in low cloud, but may fly later the same day.
Will our group fly together?
Each helicopter carries seven passengers plus the pilot, seats are assigned by weight and balance, and other passengers may be aboard.
When does the boat run?
It is seasonal, and there are no sailings from 29 December until a planned reopening on 25 April 2027, so we discuss alternatives before you book.
Can we do this in winter?
Yes, the helicopter flies year-round, but the boat and Floral Clock are seasonal and daylight is shorter.
How long is the drive?
About 1.5 hours each way in normal traffic, and it can double at rush hour or on weekends.
Can we add Journey Behind the Falls?
Yes, you can request it; it takes about 60 minutes and needs a separate ticket.
Is the whole day private?
Your vehicle and driver are private, while the helicopter and boat are run by other companies and may carry other passengers.
