Overview

You’ll lift off from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport beside the historic Brooklyn Bridge, rising above New York Harbor. Almost immediately, the city’s iconic skyline begins to unfold, setting the tone for an unforgettable aerial experience.

From the harbor, your flight sweeps past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island before turning north along the full length of Manhattan. You’ll soar over One World Trade Center and continue toward the George Washington Bridge, with dramatic views of the New Jersey Palisades lining the Hudson River. Along the way, you may spot Yankee Stadium (when games aren’t in session), Columbia University, and the magnificent Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

As the helicopter heads back downtown, you’ll take in Midtown’s legendary skyline, including the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square, before gliding over the lush expanse of Central Park. The journey continues south along the Hudson River, passing Chelsea Piers and the Intrepid Museum, before looping back toward Lower Manhattan for a final sweeping view of the skyline prior to landing.
