What you can expect

  • Embark on a breathtaking helicopter tour of America’s largest metropolis, New York City. Fly through the skies and take in the surrounding sites from a vantage point unlike any other. Explore the urban core of the Big Apple and the neighbouring areas that give it flavour.

    Sit back and relax in your comfortable helicopter seat as you take off. Soar past the iconic Statue of Liberty and historic Ellis Island before moving to city centre Manhattan, where you witness the colossal One World Trade Centre building, looming large beside the 9/11 Memorial’s reflecting pools. Next you see the Brooklyn Bridge as you make your way uptown. Look out for the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, 2 towering beacons that you can’t miss.

    Your crew flies you past Midtown by the multicoloured lights of Times Square before transporting you to Central Park, whose vast acres of foliage offer a reprieve from the concrete jungle. The tour heads north to Columbia University, a renowned Ivy League establishment, the vibrant area of Harlem, and then to Yankee Stadium before taking a turn to fly past the notorious George Washington Bridge. The trip comes to an end as you view the mountainous Palisades Cliffs and return south towards eastern New Jersey.

    Sights Include: Statue of Liberty
