“Amazing Pilot, Mo was very kind and helpful, answered all questions and took lots of pictures as my wife asked for. 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…”

I would not pay that type of money again now that I know what to expect. Details: There was a very long walk on snow covered ROADS shared with vehicles around the back of the airport, with no signage or help to find the departure point. I can’t understand why there wasn’t a shuttle or some other pick up arrangements to get us to the departure point. We had to wait longer than expected to take off, (we understand they had…”
