45 minutes (including transfer and briefing).
No special fitness required—suitable for most travelers able to board a helicopter
The airborne portion over the falls is roughly 12–13 minutes; the full activity including pickup and briefing is approximately 45 minutes.
Most operators offer short hotel transfers to the helipad and list wheelchair-accessible options; confirm specific pickup points when booking.

Infants can usually fly but must sit on an adult’s lap; specialized infant seats may be available—check age and weight policies with the operator.
