How to visit Niagara
Instead of staying in Niagara and navigating the crowds, we recommend basing yourself in Toronto and embarking on a full day tour to see the iconic Niagara Falls from above in a helicopter.
- Flying over Niagara Falls: A helicopter flight over Niagara Falls provides a clear view the thundering water as it plunges over Horseshoe, American and Bridal Veil Falls while avoiding the crowds on the ground.
- Landing at a vineyard: Niagara is well known for its wine, and a visit to a vineyard is well worth your time. After flying over the falls, your helicopter can land at Jackson-Triggs, famous for its ice wines, or at Tirus, which also offers landing.
- Other vineyards: Henry of Pelham is noted for its 90-point sparkling. Colaneri is picturesque. Two Sisters Vineyards offer exclusive experiences and a 96-point white. Konzelmann Estate Winery sits on the lake and produces aromatic Riesling and Gewürztraminer.
- Restaurants: Pearl Morissette is a top-rated, two Michelin star restaurant with a winery, orchard, farm and bakery. Other highly rated farm-to-table favourites include AG Inspired Cuisine and Treadwell Cuisine.
- Walking trails: The Niagara River Recreational Trail is an easy route with superb views from the Canadian side. The Niagara Glen and Niagara Gorge trails offer a moderate hike with views over the river and the whirlpool. The forest here is rich in wild flora and fauna. Trails can become busy in summer and at weekends.

Getting to Niagara
If you are staying in Toronto, a driver will collect you from your hotel and drive closer to the falls, before you board a private helicopter that will fly you over the falls. Along the way, you can stop to lunch at a vineyard.
If you would rather get straight to the falls, a helicopter can be arranged to collect you from Toronto.
