Niagara's Best And Longest Helicopter Tour

The Niagara Grand Tour is the most popular Niagara Falls tour flown by National Helicopters. It is a twenty minute flight that departs the Niagara District Airport and flies over Niagara's world renowned wine producing region on the way toward Brock's Monument in Queenston. Once over Brock's Monument, the aircraft turns southbound along the Niagara River, flying past the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Generating Station, the Whirlpool Rapids, the Spanish Aero Car and the Maid of the Mist below. The tour culminates with an unforgettable view of the American Falls, Bridal Veil and Canadian Horseshoe Falls from high above. The helicopter will make a second pass over the falls so that passengers on the other side of the aircraft get the same view. The helicopter then retraces its route back to the Niagara District Airport.

Hover Over Any Package For More Information

A Winery Niagara Grand Tour normally begins with a twenty minute Niagara Grand Tour for a private group of passengers and ends with the helicopter landing at a specific winery to drop the passengers off for lunch or a wine tasting. The price for the winery flights includes a ride back to the Niagara District Airport in the National Helicopters shuttle from the winery following the wine tasting or meal. A helicopter pick up at the winery can be requested for an additional fee.

*NATIONAL HELICOPTERS DOES NOT ARRANGE PASSENGER ACTIVITIES AT THE WINERY

PARTICIPATING WINERIES: Trius Winery, Peller Estates Winery, Chateau de Charmes, Vineland Estates, Two Sisters Vineyards

PARTICIPATING WINERIES: Peller Estates Winery, Trius Winery, Chateau de Charmes, Vineland Estates

National Helicopters offers in-flight weddings charters complete with a pastor, bridal bouquet, photographer and limousine. Wedding details can be customized by contacting The Wedding Company of Niagara. The individual costs for a half hour in-flight wedding are:

The Sunset Niagara Grand Tour follows the same twenty-five minute long route as the Private Romantic Tour but the helicopter will depart the Niagara District Airport shortly before sunset.

The Private Romantic Tour is similar to the Niagara Grand Tour but it is five minutes longer in duration and includes sparkling wine onboard the aircraft for the passengers. The similarity to the Niagara Grand Tour ends once the aircraft approaches the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge on the way back from passing over Niagara Falls. Instead of heading directly back to the Niagara District Airport at this time, the aircraft will continue northbound along the river to Niagara-on-the-Lake, then follow the shoreline of Lake Ontario westbound to the Welland Canal. Once the aircraft has reached the Welland Canal it will turn southbound, following it back to Niagara District Airport.

NATIONAL HELICOPTERS invites you to discover Niagara from an Eagle's eye perspective.

We are more than just a helicopter Tour, we are Niagara's only Heli-touring company providing the view of only the best of Niagara Falls and the Niagara historical surroundings.

National's aerial tours are the most personal and the most comprehensive adventure tours offered. This leading Niagara attraction is not to be missed!

These Notorious So-called 'Tourist Traps' Are Worth Visiting, According to Travelers

Travelers are speaking out to say these spots aren't half bad.

Ah, the traveler’s debacle: To follow the crowd to major, must-see sights knowing they’ll be met with overpriced services, entertainment, food, and souvenirs — or to avoid these sites completely and search out hidden gems void of other tourists. To some, visiting Paris without going up the Eiffel Tower isn’t seeing Paris , while to others, the complete opposite is true. 

It’s a question — or way of traveling — that isn’t always black-and-white. Most of us want to see the major sites — preferably without giant tour groups and overpriced crêpe stands — and stumble upon authentic places that few others will get to experience. So when is it worth following the crowd to a site you really want to see, even though it’s probably a tourist trap?

One user on Reddit , u/MarathonMarathon, posed that question , noting that for them, the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel in Shanghai was a tourist trap they ended up genuinely liking. “It's basically this short 5-minute tourist trap light show tram thing that takes you across the Huangpu River from the Bund to Pudong, with bizarre voice-overs. Sort of like some Disney attraction, but sadder, the very epitome of a kitsch tourist trap.”

The Reddit community responded, sharing the tourist-trap-inclined sites and tours that they genuinely liked and would recommend to others. Below are the “best” responses in order:

Maid of the Mist Boat Tour — Niagara Falls, U.S.

The 20-minute Maid of the Mist boat tour, which claims to be “the original Niagara Falls boat tour” — takes travelers to the foot of Niagara Falls where they can feel the power of 600,000 gallons of water crashing down and enjoy the resulting mist.

“You wait in line forever, the boat is packed, it seems cheesy ... and then you get up to the Falls and feel their power, you realize that the boat has the engine running at full power yet it struggles against the current and you realize that yeah, this is awesome,” said u/twoeightnine.

Original Sound of Music bus tour — Salzburg, Germany

The Original Sound of Music bus tour takes travelers through Salzburg, where "The Sound of Music" movie was filmed. The bus visits Mirabell Garden and Pegasus Fountain, where Maria and the children danced in the movie; Schloss Leopoldskron, the house, where the Trapp Family lived; and Church Mondsee, where Maria and Baron von Trapp got married, along with other sites.

User u/opuntialantana said the four-hour journey included, “Glorious views, drinks, snacks, and a Maria von Trapp lookalike leading us in singalongs as we drove from one filming location to the next. It was cheesy and it was perfect.”

Hobbiton Movie Set Tours — Matamata, New Zealand

At Hobbiton , visitors can walk through the lush pastures of the Shire and through the movie set used in "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" film trilogies. The part-bus, part-walking tour includes visits to the series’ most famous locations, including the Hobbit Hole where Bilbo and Frodo Baggins lived. 

The 2.5-hour tour ends with a visit to the Green Dragon Inn , where a free drink concludes the tour of Middle-earth.

Guinness Storehouse — Dublin

The home of Ireland’s most iconic beer offers daily self-guided tours that include entry to the Guinness tasting rooms and a pint of Guinness. If you’re a true beer or Guinness connoisseur, you can opt for a “ premium experience ,” like a guided tasting with storytelling or a tour through the brewery’s historic sites — including their famous underground tunnels.

“When anyone came to visit [sic] me I always took them there; it never got old! It’s a well-curated museum and of course, the tap room is always fun to go to. Also, all my Irish friends were happy to go with me when I first moved there so it seems to be well-liked among people that live there too,” said u/tcpower2.

Hofbräuhaus München — Munich

Reddit user u/Triple10X said they initially went to Hofbräuhaus München “just to say that we've been there.” But after visiting several smaller German beer halls they felt that Hofbräuhaus was the best. 

The three-floor beer hall has a Bavarian restaurant and ongoing shows that take place in a historic, 16th-century building. According to u/Triple10X, “The food we got was phenomenal, the beer was obviously good and the atmosphere was eclectic with multiple couples around us all talking to each other in different languages.”
