A must for any visitor to New York City!

On your 15-minute New York sightseeing helicopter flight you'll experience the grandeur of Manhattan's famous skyline in a way that's impossible from the ground. You'll also see the most famous landmark in the US, the Statue of Liberty, from the air!

Starting from New York's Downtown Heliport, situated close to Battery Park and Wall Street, your flight takes you past the World Financial Center, Empire State, Chrysler, Woolworth, and Met Life Buildings and over Ellis Island and the Hudson River to reach the George Washington Bridge. Your pilot is on hand to provide commentary on the points of interest seen during your flight via the headphones provided, and all seats on board the helicopter provide spectacular views over the city.

Great! Nice staff and easy to find the place (pier 6). Great experience and it feels longer than 15 mins. So much to take in...

Just excellent! Staff were great, experience was incredible. We were 30 mins late taking off - so make sure you plan more time than they quote for the end to end event.

When ringing to confirm time to travel, the helpful staff asked if id like to change day as weather on day i was due to fly was forecasted to be overcast/rain. They informed me weather would be better the next day for views if i wished to change--no problem and they were right re weather! Including pilot,who gave commentary there were 5 on flight. Around 10am hazy sun but still it was brill..def something you would only do once and fantastic to see the views from the air..puts size of NY into perspective. Got the full 15mins in the air. Your'e photo that they take is available @ $20-steep as you can bring ur own camera! Lockers available for your bag etc. Well organisied,lovely staff and great to have done!
