Customer Reviews
The flight over Manhattan was indescribable! It was magical to see Central Park and the Statue of Liberty from above. Every second was completely worth it!
Every view was amazing, from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty. The helicopter ride was smooth, and the pilot talked about many well-known landmarks in New York. It was a wonderful excursion!
I surprised my boyfriend with this helicopter ride. It was serene, scenic, and beautiful to share. Being together flying over New York was really romantic.
The views of the city from the helicopter were remarkable. I couldn't wipe the smile from my face the entire time. A perfect memory to fit into one night.
