What we do in this activity is to have a unique view over the city of skyscrapers. So many iconic buildings and the mythical Manhattan skyline that you won't know where to look!
The usual thing on these excursions is to leave Downtown Manhattan Heliport, south of the island. The tour will depend on the duration, as there are excursions up to almost half an hour. Enjoy a unique view of the Statue of Liberty, the Islands of Ellis and Governors, the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the One World Trade Center and the entire business district. Longer flights reach the north of the island, with Central Park and the Intrepid Aerospace Museum being able to see.
The first thing is, you won't fly over the skyscrapers, you'll fly down the Hudson and East Rivers. Also that it is very likely that helipad rates are not included in the price, it is an additional 40 USD. Each helicopter has 5 or 6 passenger seats and you cannot choose the seat. The operators will place you according to your weight to distribute the load.
There is a new tour, which is part of kearny's helipad in New Jersey, at a similar cost but is done with the doors open. This option is great for the intrepid and for photography lovers, as it allows you to capture the images without the reflection of the window.
Because, within our trip to New York, it's an indescribable experience and it's sure to be the first thing you tell when you get home. If you have not flown by helicopter you will make a 2x1 you will get the feeling of flying on one of these light aircraft and you will also enjoy exceptional views. If you've already flown, you're sure to want to repeat the Big Apple experience!
