Land 26, take-off 08, avoid low flying over the falls.

A 'wide' right base for 26 will provide a good view of the falls without causing offence.

Good people, good food. Head chef/taxi driver/new letter publisher, has a tendency to publicise a pilots landing ‘transgressions’, tell them you are arriving 30 minutes later then planned! ;->

This site largely caters for pilot's and gives very meaningifull/usefull information to us. I do not believe it was intended as passenger information service.
