Yes, we did and it was pretty cool. From our research it looked like all the companies use the same service which is why they were all $150. It was about 15 minutes and we got beautiful views of the falls.

The problem we had with it, is how they herd you after the ride into their office to show you the video they supposedly took during our flight, but all it was was the video of us pre-flight and post-flight. The rest was a canned marketing video. They basically wanted to sell us the photos and videos for $50 which seemed steep, so we just got the photos for $20. When I got back home and looked at the photos, I learned the real photos of our actual flight was just of the inside of the helicopter of us and 2 other people that rode with us. The other pics of the falls were old ones that you probably would find on Google Images (the date last modified on these were from 2011 and previous). It's a good thing that I brought my camera and took pictures myself.

So the flight itself was great, the experience afterward, not so much. I would recommend the flight, just bring your own camera, and say no to the sales pitch on the photos and videos afterward.
