Ride an aerial cable car over the spectacular Niagara Whirlpool and marvel at the beauty of Niagara Parks. You’ll travel safely across the deep and narrow Great Gorge, far above the mesmerizing torrent in the Niagara River – one of the world's wildest stretches of whitewater. The Whirlpool Aero Car, an attraction of Niagara Falls, suspends you in mid-air directly above the raging waters – an unforgettable experience that will take your breath away!
From Table Rock Point in Ontario’s Niagara Parks, board the Whirlpool Aero Car and take an exciting ride across the Great Gorge, soaring safely between two points high above the racing Niagara River. You'll be transported through the air for a 10-minute ride, about 3,600 feet (1 km) round-trip, while suspended over Niagara Whirlpool – one of the world’s most captivating natural phenomena!
This open-air cable car, in operation since 1916, carries up to 35 standing passengers and travels along six sturdy cables. As you hover in mid-air directly above the powerful river, look into the eye of the enormous Niagara Whirlpool and watch the frightening torrent of water abruptly change direction at the end of the Whirlpool Rapids.
See class 6 rapids, which travel approximately 30 miles (48 km) per hour and create 9- to 16-foot (3- to 5-meter) standing waves – the largest series in North America. Witness this marvel of nature, where the relentless Niagara River escapes through the narrowest channel of the Niagara Gorge, and enjoy incredible views of the rock layers dating back 410 million years!
