See Horseshoe Falls from the air — the Canadian curve of the Niagara River, a horseshoe of white water and mist, with Queen Victoria Park on the near bank. Rainbows show in the spray when the sun is out.
The 12-minute helicopter tour from Victoria Avenue is built around this pass. After the Rainbow Bridge the track follows the gorge, then changes direction along the curve of the Horseshoe. There is no shorter option that skips it.
You do not land at Table Rock and you do not board a boat at the base. This is a helicopter view of the Canadian fall, then the rest of the same circuit.
Those 12 minutes are a set route along the gorge, not a hover over one cascade. The point of the air time is Horseshoe, the American Falls, and the whirlpool in one sitting — a map the ground cannot give you.
