I did almost every major attraction on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Here are 5 that were worth it and 3 I’d skip next time.

At about $150 USD per person, our tour with Niagara Helicopters was a splurge. But, in my opinion, it was worth it.

The ride was only about 10 minutes from takeoff to touchdown, but it was a great way to see the full scope of Horseshoe Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, the American Falls, and the Whirlpool Rapids all at once.

From the air, the Falls became just one feature in a much larger landscape of gorges, rapids, and parkland. This tour gave me a new appreciation for the sheer scale of the Falls.
