NYC Helicopter Flight

Published on Dec, 2024

Fantastic female pilot brought us on a very smooth flight around NYC. Very pleasant flight with good information on the sights and great music on board too. Very helpful and pleasant staff in the waiting area. Highly recommend.

Definitely worth it

Published on Oct, 2024

It was a cheaper price booking with Viator. The wait time was short and the entrance was well set up to get everyone ready. It was really fun!

Incredible trip

Published on Sep, 2024

This helicopter trip was simply incredible! I saw everything in detail: the entire view of New York, Central Park, Manhattan, and the Statue of Liberty, and then even New Jersey. It was very impressive and exciting. I highly recommend it!

Must do

Published on Aug, 2024
