Itinerary
Your unforgettable New York Helicopter Tour – Manhattan and New Jersey begins when you make your way to the Downtown Manhattan Heliport at Pier 6 on the East River, located between the South Street Seaport and the Staten Island Ferry Terminal. On this incredible helicopter tour, you’ll take in the sights that make Manhattan so unforgettable!
You’ll enjoy an up-close view of the Statue of Liberty, that marvelous gift from the people of France to the U.S.A. As you hover over Ellis Island, you’ll remember the millions of immigrants whose first views of the U.S.A were at that very spot. From 1892 until 1954, this was the busiest immigrant inspection station in the U.S.A
You’ll see the Verrazano Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in North America and the starting point for the New York City Marathon, held on the first Sunday in November. You’ll also take in the majestic Brooklyn Bridge, over 120 years old and one of the oldest suspension bridges in the U.S.A

On non-game days, you’ll take in the landmark Yankee Stadium, and you’ll thrill to the astounding sight of the New Jersey Palisades, a line of steep cliffs along the west side of the lower Hudson River. You’ll see the impressive grounds of Columbia University and witness the vitality and flavor of Harlem.
The flight takes you over the Chelsea Piers, which were used for passenger ships in the early 20th century and were the destination of the ill-fated Titanic.

You’ll see Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Center, where the city’s and the nation’s heart was broken on September 11, 2001.
