Niagara Falls Daredevil Tour: Zipline, Helicopter & Jetboat Adventure
Experience Niagara Falls from every angle: fly toward the Horseshoe Falls on a 670 m zipline, take a panoramic helicopter loop, then tackle Class 5 rapids on a jetboat. This four-hour small-group tour packs maximum adrenaline with practical logistics handled.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose gear
Use straps or leave phones in the vehicle—jetboat spray and zipline wind will dislodge unsecured items.
Prepare for spray and wind
Bring a lightweight waterproof layer for the boat and a windproof jacket for the zipline and helicopter landing areas.
Know health restrictions
Not recommended for guests with spinal, heart conditions, or pregnancy; disclose medical concerns to the guide.
Timing for photos
Book a morning slot for clearer skies and less turbulence for helicopter photography.

Conservation Note
Operators and parks emphasize staying on marked paths, minimizing spray-zone litter, and respecting seasonal wildlife habitats to protect the gorge and river ecosystems.
The Niagara Gorge and Falls were strategic in the War of 1812 and later powered early hydroelectric projects; tourism grew in the 19th–20th centuries with viewpoints and boat rides.
