Overview

Your journey begins at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport, lifting off right beside the historic Brooklyn Bridge. Almost immediately, the city’s iconic skyline unfolds as you hover over New York Harbor. You’ll sweep past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island before banking north along the Hudson River.

Soar past the glass heights of One World Trade Center and follow the river the full length of Manhattan. You’ll reach the George Washington Bridge, with the dramatic stone cliffs of the New Jersey Palisades lining the west. As you cross toward the Bronx, look down on the hallowed grounds of Yankee Stadium (on non-game days), the sprawling campus of Columbia University, and the Gothic grandeur of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Heading back downtown, you’ll dive into the heart of the world’s most famous skyline. Take in Midtown’s legendary landmarks: the Empire State Building, the art deco crown of the Chrysler Building, and the neon pulse of Times Square, before gliding over the vast, green sanctuary of Central Park.

The flight then crosses the East River to track the vibrant waterfronts of Queens and Brooklyn. You’ll witness the full scope of New York’s architectural tapestry, following the shoreline toward Staten Island. The climax of the southern loop is a spectacular pass over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, the massive gateway to New York Harbor.

Tracing the edge of the harbor one last time, you’ll pass the Intrepid Museum and the sleek piers of Chelsea. The journey concludes with a final, panoramic sweep of Lower Manhattan’s financial district before a smooth touchdown back at the heliport.
