Big Apple Helicopter Tour of New York

New York City, United States of America

See New York's famous landmarks from the air on an exhilarating 15-minute helicopter tour. You'll come face-to-face with the Statue of Liberty as you fly above the Hudson River. Admire the iconic Empire State Building, the silver Art Deco brilliance of the Chrysler Building, and the sprawling green expanse of Central Park. A must for any visitor to New York City!

On your 15-minute New York sightseeing helicopter flight you'll experience the grandeur of Manhattan's famous skyline in a way that's impossible from the ground. You'll also see the most famous landmark in the US, the Statue of Liberty, from the air!

Starting from New York's Downtown Heliport, situated close to Battery Park and Wall Street, your flight takes you past the World Financial Center, Empire State, Chrysler, Woolworth, and Met Life Buildings and over Ellis Island and the Hudson River to reach the George Washington Bridge. Your pilot is on hand to provide commentary on the points of interest seen during your flight via the headphones provided, and all seats on board the helicopter provide spectacular views over the city.

Escape New York's lines and crowds by taking to the skies!

Please note: The listed price does not include the heliport fee, USD$35.00 per person, payable at the time of tour check-in. After April 1 2017, the security fee will increase to USD$40.00 per person.

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our pilot was fantastic. Even though we weren't allowed over Manhattan just circling around we saw so many sights in a way many never do. I highly recommend this tour.

Advertised as leaving Pier 6 Manhattan, however when we arrived we were put on a minibus to NJ._br/_ We were given ZERO safety training. We were handed a life jacket and told that we would not need it. The pilot asked if we had been given a safety breifing, when we replied ‘no’ the helicopter took off.

amazing, what an experience, made to feel comfortable not nervous at, all shown a safety video and off we went brilliant._br/_ so glad we booked with Viator, so limited queueing _br/_ my suggestion is book as much as you can before you go so you don't have to worry about taking loads of money and queue for long periods of time, WELL DONE VIATOR 10/10
 

Review by:   Nam Cheong L,    March 2018 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
The take off was not at Manhattan. They drove us to New Jersey for the Helicopter ride and back after that.. Took more then 40 mins one way.. Wasted a lot of time.. The ride was with 5 other persons. 2 infront and 4 at the back.. Very cramp..

This was fun, a good way to see New York and hear some interesting facts. The wait was a little boring but worth it in the end.

Amazing experience. If you are in New York don't miss it. Although it's for 15-20 min it feels longer in the air. The pilot is really nice and knowledgeable and the views breathtaking. It also helped that we had a gorgeous day for November with blue skies and sunny with no wind at all.

We have done NYC and lived in NYC and our girls age 15-20 thought it was the coolest thing. We were also in a time crunch and the staff was great and made everything work. Thank you to Q and the Gang!!!

the fifteen minutes must start when you leave the building plus 40 not 35 near 175 not worth that

biggest rip off ever. flew in rain and fog couldn't see half the buildings and only flew 9 minutes . unbelievable they take advantage of you just want your money and don't book with viator because they won't fight for you at all money grabbers both of them

We did the helicopter tour on my Birthday and what an experience it was! Everything ran really smoothly from the moment we walked through the door to stepping off of the helicopter. I mentioned that it was my Birthday and the team treated us like royalty - they even let us sit up front with the captain for the flight! We were extremely lucky to have a bright, sunny day so went around lady liberty and up the west side of Manhattan, level with central park and back down again. The views were amazing and the pilot's commentary was brilliant.
 

Review by:   Kevin L,    October 2017 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
Excellent experience and great value. Even if you consider it's a relatively short time in the air we were about 15-20 mins, it was an amazing experience - very comfortable, incredibly exciting and, after visiting the Empire State Building the previous night, this was exceptional to see the city from 'even higher' and from bottom to top of Manhattan. It was also the first time we'd been in a helicopter. A must do if you can.

It was an amazing trip, never been in a Helicopter before.
 

Review by:   Lucybelle82,    October 2017 Review: 4 star rating: Recommended
The flight was excellent no complaints whatsoever. The same cannot be said about the booking process. I contacted liberty helicopters 2 weeks prior to going and was given a time slot. 24 hours before I contacted them again to be told I had no booking. I was given another slot for the same day requested but 2 hours later, this meant we had to alter our day somewhat. This we did, we turned up 50 minutes early on the day to be told once again that we had no slot! I explained I had telephoned the previous day but was told I hadnt even though I had the phone number stored in my outgoing calls. Anyhow we were allowed to fly._br/_ Flight was fantastic, the highlight of our stay, loved it, best views we experienced all week, would definitely recommend._br/_ 72 hours later I received a telephone call from liberty helicopters advising me that I had a booking for that day!!!!_br/_ I explained I had already taken the flight and the guy seemed quite confused by this. _br/_ When you pre book and pay from overseas prior to your trip it can be quite alarming to be told you have no booking. I think improvements can definitely be made with the booking process but once again I thoroughly enjoyed the flight and have no complaints whatsoever about that and would do it again.

Review by:   Teodor O,    October 2017 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
As one of the cheapest helicopter tours available, this was worth it. It's an awesome experience and quite frankly, the helicopter was so steady and the pilot was so gentle to it that the whole thing felt surprisingly safe and comfortable. I loved the fact that I could have my camera strapped on and film the entire ride. The views of Manhattan are, obviously, unique, from all the way up there. I thought 15 minutes would be too little, but it's actually fine.

Fantastic experience, would recommend this to anyone, I had never been in a helicopter before and for the first trip to be flying over Manhattan was almost surreal.

Amazing experience flying in a helicopter. My first time and what a fantastic way to see the sights of New York including the Statue of Liberty. The Heliport was easy to find with the directions and information from the staff very useful and very helpful.I would certainly recommend this as a must do experience

This was one to tick off the bucket list! Both had sore faces from smiling the entire flight. It was the first time in a helicopter and what an amazing flight. Weather was clear enough for excellent views. Didn't have to wait long everything went really smoothly. Loved it!

It was fun for the experience of flying in a helicopter, was quite disappointed with the view, we didn't go close to the Statue of Liberty, and the pilot didn't make the effort to make it visible for both sides (so if you are sitting on the "wrong side" there won't be much to see).

First time in a helicopter and simply fantastic. Original booking was cancelled due to bad weather however, this was easily re-arranged for the following day. We arrived in time and everything ran smoothly. Very friendly staff too. Definitely book months in advance as it is always busy.

Review by:   Liubov P,    March 2017 Review: 3 star rating: Worth doing
the tour itself was very good. The organization was not - we were asked to wait almost 2 hours vs the original time of the trip. It would have been helpful if we had been informed about the delay by a phone call, as the weather was very cold - minus 6 C.
 

Review by:   Dawn W,    February 2017 Review: 5 star rating: Highly Recommended
This is a well organised, safe and enjoyable trip. I was fortunate to go on a bright sunny day with blue skies - the day after the snow blizzard last week! The views were spectacular and the pilot very knowledgeable about the famous landmarks, with photo opportunities too.
