Helicopter Trip at the Niagara Falls!

    On our way traveling down from the Ottawa back to the States, we stopped at Niagara Falls and did some tourist activities. It was my third time there, but there is always something new about each trip. The first time, I went with a group of thirty Taiwanese students for learning English in Canada. I was 13 years old back then and we did the boat tour at the Falls which was tons of fun. We got those sweet blue ponchos and got splashed underneath the falls. The second time, it was a family trip and a nice vacation. No big deal


But, the third time…

That's right!! A HELICOPTER TOUR!!!


That was SO sweet…It is run by a family a former New River Academy student, Jassica. They gave each of us a FREE ride (normally costs $150-$200). Wow, that was once of a lifetime experience! We could see the river above and below the Falls, which provided an interesting perspective Niagara Falls. The shear volume of water pouring into Niagara gorge was incredibly large.

Do you see the rainbow over the Falls?

      Doesn’t matter how many times I see Niagara Falls, it never fails to amaze me, especially from an angle above it. Apparently, Jessica’s family’s company, Niagara Helicopters (http://www.niagarahelicopters.com/home.php) is the oldest helicopter tour company in Niagara City (since 1961). They own many beautiful helicopters and the pilot were all extremely professional and skillful (well, obviously…). Anyway, that was pretty cool and next time if you visit Niagara Falls, you should definitely check them out!! Ok, instead of me keep boasting on and on about how awesome it was, a video would probably do a better job…enjoy!!
