Manhattan brings to mind grand skyscrapers, taxi cabs, and a world-class attitude all of its own. See all this and more as an expert pilot flies you over NYC on a 12-15, 18-20, or 30 minute helicopter tour. Soar over the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Madison Square Garden, among other landmarks.
After take-off from the Downtown Heliport, swing down over lower Manhattan to see the skyline and streets below. Swoop over Battery Park to glance at Wall Street and its labyrinth of streets. Then, sail over to Governor's Island, an island once reserved only for the city's dignitaries that now hosts summer concerts and public art. Then, fly over Ellis Island and see Lady Liberty shining brightly in the distance. Cruise right up to her eye for a new perspective of the Statue of Liberty. Enjoy all this before heading up the Hudson past the piers of Chelsea and the lights of Broadway. On your way back to the pier, head around the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, and fly over Ground Zero where you can have a look at the exceptional work they're doing at the sight. Continue past Madison Square Garden and the Intrepid Air and Space Museum. See Central Park as your flight turns around to return to the heliport.

Know before you go
- A minimum of 4 passengers is required to book the 30-minute flight.
- Anyone over 250lbs or 113kg must purchase an additional seat.
- You are not guaranteed a window seat and may be seated in the middle. We may occasionally offer an earlier flight option for efficiency. This is optional, and your original time is guaranteed. Passengers may be scheduled to fly at any time between their assigned check-in time and their booked tour time. The pre-recorded tour narration minimizes the interaction with customers and pilots, so the pilots can focus on air traffic and radio calls within the busiest airspace in the country. Narrated audio language selection is not guaranteed and is based on availability. Should more than 2 languages be requested on the same flight, the audio commentary may default to English. Due to the unpredictable nature of technical difficulties, we cannot ensure the audio functionality of the headsets.
