We came across a representative of the helicopter tour company near the ferry terminal and asked him about prices and waiting times. Much to our surprise he was very open and honest about their costs compared to their competitors and while we did not pre-booked and decided on the spot to take a tour we only had to wait an hour. Perfect instructions on safety before the flight. The helicopter ride was smooth, good information over the headsets and what a view. Spectacular. Well worth the money and I highly recommend a flight. You will see so much in about 15 minutes.

I debated long and hard about this trip as I was concerned with some of the more negative reviews and the expense. I didn’t need to worry. We had a fantastic experience. The heli port is easy to find. The staff were professional. We left on time and had a great flight. We felt that the c.15mins we were in the air was about right as we saw everything we wanted to see including Central Park. Would highly recommend.

I recently went to celebrate my birthday and had a great experience. The guys there made it a great experience. One Gentlemen there named Santiago accommodated me to the front of the helicopter for the special occasion. He was very knowledgable of the procedures and made the group feel safe.
