From the road it is a border crossing; from a helicopter it is a single span in the canyon. The river is already in the gorge here, between whirlpool and falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 12-minute helicopter tour flies over the Whirlpool Rapids and the Rainbow Bridge on the way toward <a href=\"https:\/\/127.0.0.1\/zh-hans\/highlights\/horseshoe-falls\/\">Horseshoe Falls<\/a>. There is no shorter option on <a href=\"https:\/\/127.0.0.1\/zh-hans\/niagara-falls\/\">Niagara Falls<\/a> that misses it. The <a href=\"https:\/\/127.0.0.1\/zh-hans\/highlights\/niagara-whirlpool\/\">Niagara Whirlpool<\/a> sits downstream of this span on the same circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not land on the bridge and you do not cross the border in the helicopter. The flight stays in Canadian airspace; the view is the span from the Canadian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those minutes along the gorge are what put the bridge, the American Falls, and the Horseshoe in one pass. The helicopter does not stop at the bridge; it is a waypoint on the way to the curve of the Horseshoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/127.0.0.1\/zh-hans\/highlights\/american-falls\/\">American Falls<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/127.0.0.1\/zh-hans\/highlights\/bridal-veil-falls\/\">Bridal Veil Falls<\/a> come into the same frame after the span. There is no second Niagara product on this location that adds the bridge \u2014 it is already on this 12-minute flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canada on one abutment, the United States on the other, the gorge under the arch. The helicopter does not use the bridge as a crossing. It uses it as a waypoint between whirlpool and falls. The 12-minute circuit is the only product on this location. The span is already on it. You stay in Canadian airspace for the whole outing; the US bank is a view, not a landing. The falls sit just upstream of this arch; the whirlpool sits downstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book the 12-minute tour and see the Rainbow Bridge from the air.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-7160","highlights","type-highlights","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"sub_title":"","location":6542},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/7160","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/highlights"}],"acf:post":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flyovertheworld.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7160"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
