Helicopter tours in New York City, New York

A helicopter tour over Manhattan gives you a skyline view that's simply not available from street level: the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and the full length of the island in one sweeping pass.

When's the best time to fly?

Fall (September to November) pairs clear air with dramatic foliage in the parks below. Sunset flights are popular year-round for the skyline lighting up as the sun goes down, though winter cold and summer haze both affect visibility on a given day.

What should I bring?

Warm layers for a winter flight (cabins can be breezy), and a camera or phone with a strap, since window seats fill up fast.

What if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Like most operators, tours in New York City have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
