Book morning for clear light
Early flights usually have calmer air and sharper visibility; late-afternoon light can also be dramatic.
Bring passport and booking confirmation
Operator requires passport details at booking and verification on arrival—carry originals, not just photos.
Protect your camera gear
Use a fast shutter and lens hood; bubble windows can cause reflections—polarizers help but keep lenses close to the glass.
Mind health restrictions
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or people with significant heart or cardiovascular issues—check with your provider.
Camera with fast shutter
Capture sharp aerial images of the Falls and river—use fast shutter speeds for hand-held shots.
Passport / ID
Required for booking and check-in; bring the same document used for reservation details.
Light wind jacket
Helicopter doors and overhead rotor wash make it feel cooler at altitude—layer up for comfort.
