It’s a truly awe-inspiring experience – the sight, the sound, the smell, the humbling feeling that here indeed is Nature’s Supreme Masterpiece. No photograph can begin to depict reality and nothing prepares you for your first sight.

After you finish admiring one of the Seven World Wonders of Nature you will be taken to the helipad for your Flight of Angels. Flight lasts for around 12/13 minutes and you will be able to admire the Falls from every possible angle.
