[A]t 165 vertical feet, they aren't the world's tallest, but the three waterfalls which make up Niagara Falls have the highest flow rate in the world.
In the high water season, we're talking more than 6 million cubic feet of water flowing over the edge, per minute.
After wrapping up this year's North American TBEX conference in Toronto, I took a day trip to Niagara Falls.
The tour is extremely efficient, and includes:
- Roundtrip bus transport with guide
- Wine tasting on the ride out of Toronto
- Optional helicopter rides ($104 extra, highly recommended)
- Lunch overlooking the Falls
- A ride on a Maid of the Mist boat
- Visit to a scenic outlook point
- Stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake, a cute town with awesome ice cream
Overall, I felt like I saw Niagara Falls from every possible angle.

This tour was provided in partnership with Viator (minus the helicopter ride).

Wow! Breath-taking photos. This is indeed one of the most beautiful falls in the world!
Anita Mac says
Next, you will have to visit in every season! Great photos btw, but to me, the falls are also spectacular in the winter when the mist freezes!
Dave says
I bet it's amazing in the Fall, with the changing leaves.
Cam @ Traveling Canucks says
Awesome pics! You caught some fantastic weather for a helicopter trip
Dave says
Thanks Cam -- we lucked out with the weather.

I found Niagra falls to be slightly disappointing. Sure, the waterfall itself is quite magnificent, but the setting is just awful. The tacky hotels looming over the falls, all vying for the best spot along the shore line. It took the specialness out of it for me.
Dave says
Did you view it from the US or Canadian side? The development is very kitschy, but it didn't take anything away from my experience in and around the Falls themselves.
If I was viewing from the US side, and saw the buildings in the background, I might've felt the same. From the Canadian side, you have your back to them the whole time.

Beautiful images. Especially loved the aerial shots. The helicopter ride indeed seems to be worth it.

Those are some impressive shots. I haven't been to Niagara since I was 8; think it's about time to head back.
