See the American Falls from the air — the broader US curtain beside Goat Island, rock face and broken rock at the base, with Bridal Veil as a thin strip next to it. From a helicopter the two US falls and the Canadian Horseshoe sit in one frame.
The 12-minute helicopter tour passes the American Falls after the Rainbow Bridge, with Queen Victoria Park and the Skylon Tower on the Canadian bank. There is no shorter option that misses this; it is on the specified gorge circuit.
You do not land on Goat Island and you do not walk the US observation decks. You see the American Falls from the air, then the track bends with the Horseshoe.
The minutes in the air are what put the American Falls next to the Horseshoe in a single look. From the street you get one rim; from the helicopter you get the border as a map.
