There’s nothing quite like the powerful sight and sound of millions of litres of water cascading over the falls. To truly appreciate its grandeur, I took an unforgettable boat tour, getting thrillingly close to the roaring waters. Yet, the experience of viewing the falls from above on a spectacular helicopter tour was unmatched. The aerial views of the falls and surrounding landscapes left me speechless and offered fantastic photo opportunities. If you visit Niagara Falls, the heli tour is an absolute must!
