On the eastern boarder of the US and Canada, you’ll find Niagara Falls.

Made of three waterfalls that straddle the border between the states of Ontario, Canada and New York, US, Niagara Falls are a tourist hot-spot, so much so that the Falls sees over 30 million visitors each year.

This sheer number of people means you can’t often get a great view – until now.

Niagara Falls is now home to a zip line that takes travellers across the falls to see them in all of their glory.

The four zip lines were been installed by Wild Play Element Parks last year and lies 67 metres up in the air. The zip lines reach about 40 miles per hour for the half-a-kilometre duration. The ride only lasts around 30 seconds but the views you can get are spectacular.

The zip line is only available during the summer months (until October this year) as the Falls freeze over come winter.

The zip line is around £35 per person. wildplay.com/niagara-falls/
