Fantastic pilot Olivia

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent experience made even more so with our pilot Olivia. Olivia is a wealth of knowledge and a very pleasant and relatable lady. It is a very security conscious company which made us feel at ease, would certainly recommend.

HeliNY helicopter experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Here we go !! After looking at all these companies and checking all the reviews we decided to choose this company as it was family run, it turned out as the best decision I made !! We wanted to get the best and most memorable experience for all of us & especially as it was my daughters 21st birthday! In which the crew made it by allowing our daughter to sit in the front. We found pier 6 really easy and had a warm welcome when we arrived! The staff was welcoming and informative and professional! Dave was our pilot who was friendly funny and very informative throughout the flight !! These flights are a lot of money but it was definitely worth it and a memory we will never forget!! Thank you !

We travelled with our grandchildren for the helicopter ride, but we only booked them for the ride. We were going to wait for them. Please note that you cannot wait inside the building if you are not going on the ride. It was 16 degrees outside and we are in our 70's...and we literally had to beg to be let inside and get permission to wait for them. If we would have known we would have made arrangements. However, the manager let us in and otherwise it was an excellent experience!
