All Niagara Falls & Around Tours & Excursions in 2026

If you end up with other people on the helicopter with you they only take a group picture. We would have liked an individual picture of myself & my husband & we would have purchased a photo. Also you can not hear on the speaker where you are flying over. It was a great experience tho for sure & seeing the Falls up high was breathtaking. Beautiful !!!!

Niagara Falls Viator Tour review A well-organized very informative "experience" tour! Our tour guide, Randy, picked us up in a tour bus from our hotel and took us to numerous destinations at and nearby the falls. First was "Maid of the Mist," a boat ride by the American Falls to the heavily-misted area close to Horseshoe Falls. Get ready to get wet! Then we went to the "Cave of the Winds" which was a series of platforms (accessible by many stair steps) alongside the south end (right side when facing the falls, the section known as Bridal Veil Falls) where we were within a few feet of the falls at various levels. Reach out your arm and feel some of the spray from the falls! The “Hurricane Deck” was the best part because it was as close as it could be to the falls without being directly under them. There were plenty of times when a surge in the falls brought the water right onto the closest end of the deck, and you could feel some of the power of the falls as you get completely soaked by areas not covered by the poncho (from my knees down, hands and forearms, and face). I never knew one could get so close to the falls! This experience was better than Maid of the Mist. Randy then drove us to The Hungry Moose Food Court for lunch (not hosted) by the White Water Walk (class 6 rapids) and whirlpool area of the Niagara River. After that, we went to the Horseshoe Falls overlook area (by the Table Rock Restaurant), and finally to the Skylon Tower for views of both falls at the 175-ft level of the tower. Quite a day! About 5 hours total, beautiful views of the falls from lookout points and up close, and GREAT narration by Randy during the bus rides. Full of interesting stories, history, and tidbits. We would highly recommend this Viator tour by Randy for a memorable Niagara Falls experience!!

A must-do! We traveled in October and knew it may be chilly for this adventure and it was. Very misty - you WILL get very wet/soaked. Hilarious though. Our tour guide Peggy was THE BEST. Request her if possible. She was informative, fun, engaging, and made the trip 100% fantastic. A++++
