I’m sure most would agree that touring the Niagara Falls area on the ground is great, but doing it from the air is spectacular. The staff and pilot were very friendly and knowledgeable. You get safe flying while site seeing from the air, folks it don’t get better than that.
I had always wanted to ride in a helicopter, and yesterday (Oct. 7, 2017), I did.
Everyone at Rainbow Air was fantastic!! The ride was wonderful, the pilot was great, and the view was amazing! The ride was smooth and I was able to take lots of pictures and videos!
Thank you Rainbow Air for making my dream trip more amazing and memorable!!
This was a horrible experience. They told us it would be a 20 minute wait as the helicopter had to cool down as had just come back from a flight but after 5 minutes they said come up as there was a storm coming in and we would be the last ride. They told us a 10 minute ride but it was only 8 minutes, I guess cause we were a last minute rush to fit in before the storm. Pilot didn't speak to us and had the propellers running before we got on board and when we got off. So terrified as by father is tall and was scared he would hit his head on the propellers. They crammed my 70 year old father into the back instead of even suggesting him sit in the front where there would have been more room. His leg was jammed the whole ride and he was in excruciating pain the whole ride and was shivering from the pain and could not enjoy the views. He had to get one of the staff to unjam his leg to even get off the helicopter. This was a birthday treat from my Dad. Wish I had done something else for him as this was not worth the $110 each I paid. Went in a helicopter before in Miami and had the complete opposite experience. Would not recommend this ride to anyone if first time going in a helicopter as it would not give you the experience of the beauty of what a helicopter ride really should be.
We were not allowed to take photos. I would consider that as a bad experience. The helicopter ride is like a once-in-a-lifetime event for many people who come from far distances and having a memorable photo with helicopter is something everyone prefers. I was told to wait and waited for about 45 minutes to take pictures of my kids. Finally my kids came after finishing their trip and when I asked the associate and I was told that there was no room on the helipad to take pictures. In the canada side, we were allowed to take pictures with the helicopter and they were much nicer.
What a fun / exciting way to see the Falls. A great experience for both locals and tourists alike. Service was spectacular and the flight was even better. Highly recommended!
We had the best experience. The pilot was very friendly. My fiancee is terrified of flying and heights and the pilot had a blast with him. It made for an awesome flight. We got to see both falls, got to take some awesome photos. It was awesome sitting up front had the best view. Would absolutely do this again and highly recommend to any visitor of Niagara Falls in NY.
My first time on a helicopter. Amazing experience!! Much better than what I expected. If you travel to Niagara Falls and you have the budget, helicopter tour is a must to experience the Birdseye view of the grand falls. We paid by cash, which costs $110 per person. There could be a long waiting time depends on the timing. Rainbow Air Inc has two helicopters, each helicopter can fit in 4 people and each tour takes about 10 mins.
What an awesome experience! Takes you right over the falls! Breathtaking
The best thing to do in Niagara Falls, hands down. A trip is not complete until you see the falls from the air.
MUST DO for Niagara falls visit,although less than 10 min ,one of the most unforgettable life experience no doubt.
Friendly staff and great experience. The view was just marvelous! If the staff can improve their photographing skills that can take better pictures that will be perfect.
We had an amazing experience on this helicopter ride!! The view was breathtaking and the entire staff was super nice! Although it's only a ten minute ride, it feels like forever up there. Definitely enough time for taking lots of pictures. Totally worth the $115.
