Eagle-eye View of Niagara

What’s the best way to get a stellar view of the great Niagara Falls? By soaring with the birds, of course. If there’s every a time you don’t want to forget your camera, boarding a helicopter bound for the peaks of the majestic falls is one of them. National Helicopters Inc. will also take you high above the Great Lakes Canal, Niagara vineyards, wineries, Botanical Gardens, the Niagara River Rapids, and the fascinating whirlpool. The 20-minute flight is an experience you won’t get from a paved walkway and a plastic raincoat.

Romancing Niagara Falls

With scenery as stunning as the three great waterfalls of Niagara, romance is never hard to come by—at least, if that's what you want. Here are ten romantic experiences waiting for you at Niagara Falls.

1. Wine taste along the Niagara Wine Trail, stopping for photo ops and maybe a picnic if the weather is nice.

2. Hunt for antiques and unique accents for your home in the shops of historic Lewiston, Olcott, and Lockport.

3. Soar in a helicopter above the falls—a ride like this is always better when you have someone else to hold onto.
