See Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and Brooklyn Bridge from a small-group helicopter in 12 to 15 minutes, with heliport fees included.

“Overall great experience though the flight was brief, 15 minutes. The flight only traveled up and down the Hudson River, it goes as far north as midtown Manhattan and as far south as the tip of Manhattan. If you’re looking for a longer experience this isn’t the one but is inline with the other operators. The ground crew were pleasant and helpful. Great way to see Manhattan sunset.”

Review of HeliNY’s 25 to 30 minute NYC helicopter tour, with Manhattan, Brooklyn, harbor landmarks, practical tips, pricing, and seating advice.

“The tour was great, but there are only 5 seats in the back. So if you're planning on sharing the experience with someone, just hope that they don't get the front seat and leave you on the back. You don't really get a choice on this.”
