This winter, discover the famous Niagara Falls by helicopter at night, a sight every bit as breathtaking as it is during the day!

Just a 2-hour drive from Toronto, Niagara Falls is an exceptional natural site that you shouldn't miss if you get the chance to go, whatever the season. Forming the boundary between Canada and the United States along the Niagara River linking Lake Ontario to Lake Erie, it is breathtaking in its beauty and power. There are many ways to admire it, but one of the most beautiful is to fly over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and even more so at night in winter when they light up!

Between 5.30 p.m. and 8.30 p.m., take off by helicopter over Niagara Falls for a 9-minute scenic flight at dusk. Piloted by a licensed Canadian commercial pilot, the aircraft will first fly over the Whirlpool Rapids, before descending the Niagara River to the flight's main point of interest: the illuminated Niagara Falls. You will see the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and, last but not least, the impressive Horseshoe Falls from a whole new angle. The lights of the city of Niagara will also be there to accompany you throughout the flight!

Available from November to March, this night-time helicopter flight over Niagara Falls offers a unique experience during your stay in Ontario, near Toronto. So don't miss out - book your place on board now! And if flying at night doesn't appeal to you, you should know that this helicopter flight over Niagara Falls is available all year round during the day.
