Why book this experience

  • A New York City – “must do”
  • Perfect for those looking for a shorter helicopter tour
  • Fly over the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero

Taking a New York helicopter tour is an absolute must-do when visiting the Big Apple.

If you’re pressed for time, or would prefer a shorter flight, this is the tour for you. New York is such a huge city that it’s hard to see all of it during a short stay. By taking a helicopter tour of New York City, you’ll see a much larger area of the city than you could possibly see by taking land tours.

This New York helicopter tour concentrates on the downtown area and will take you over the New York harbor, the Statue of Liberty and Ground Zero.

As you fly over these iconic landmarks your expert pilot will be providing commentary ensuring you do not miss a thing!

New York Helicopter Tours are an absolute must-do and constantly sell out – pre book to avoid disappointment.

Itinerary

There is no hotel pick-up. Your New York Minute Helicopter Tour will depart from Downtown Manhattan Heliport, Pier 6 & The East River. Your militarily trained pilot will take you on a 6 to 8 minute flight over New York. Enjoy an English narration by the pilot through the headset.

You’ll soar over the following landmarks:

Statue of Liberty: The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of independence for many. She stands on Ellis Island overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. “Lady Liberty” stands at 151 feet tall upon her pedestal.

Ground Zero: Ground Zero is the space that remains at the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The World Trade Center is currently being rebuilt.

Lower Manhattan: Lower Manhattan is the financial core of New York City. It also has some of the chicest night clubs in town. You’ll pass over many of their landmark buildings including Castle Garden, Union Square and the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House.

Your tour ends at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport, Pier 6 & The East River, where you will be dropped off.
