Beyond the Boat: Helicopter Tours and Dining at Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls with rushing water, mist, and rainbow

Niagara Falls rewards a second day, or at least a second look — from a helicopter above, from the Canadian side across the gorge, and from the dinner table with a view most restaurants can't match. Here's how to round out a Niagara trip beyond the boat tour.

See It From Above

A helicopter tour over the falls gives a completely different sense of scale than any ground-level view — seeing all three falls (American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe) together from the air is genuinely different from any angle available on foot.

Dinner With a View

Several restaurants on the American side sit right along the gorge rim, making a sunset dinner overlooking the falls an easy way to end a day of sightseeing without much extra planning.

Old Fort Niagara and Lewiston

Old Fort Niagara, at the mouth of the Niagara River on Lake Ontario, has been held by French, British, and American forces since the 1720s and makes for a quieter historical stop away from the crowds at the falls themselves. The small town of Lewiston, a short drive downriver, has a walkable historic Main Street worth an afternoon. Browse Niagara Falls tours and experiences below to plan your trip.

Pack for the Mist and the Gorge
