All in all this is really amazing and heavenly aerial experience that is stands apart for me in this life. The Take off was smooth, the aerial approach to the falls and making two rounds was the blessing and landing was quite awesome. The views includes the lake Eerie, the Niagara river, the Horseshoe falls, ribbon falls and Welland canal with gates and ship moving along side the lake Ontario. This connection between the two great lakes by the river and the falls is definition of nature. I recommend…”
