The Experience
The NYC: Manhattan Sightseeing Helicopter Tour shows you New York from above as you lift off from Downtown Manhattan and follow the river north.
The city spreads out beneath you as streets turn into clear lines, while wide windows keep the view open as each part of the skyline comes into sight.
Your flight passes the Brooklyn Bridge as the Statue of Liberty appears across the water, then continues toward One World Trade Center and the Empire State Building as the city rises around you. Central Park comes into view as a wide green stretch within the grid of streets, which offers a clear contrast to the surrounding buildings as the helicopter moves on.
The route then follows the river toward northern Manhattan, where the George Washington Bridge crosses the water and Yankee Stadium stands out among nearby neighbourhoods, while the Palisades line the far bank and frame the edge of the city.
Inside the cabin, noise-canceling headsets let you hear your pilot clearly as live narration adds context to what you are seeing. The ride stays smooth and steady, which gives you time to take in each view as the helicopter moves along the river.
Includes:
Lift off from Downtown Manhattan and see New York from the sky!
