Booked the Grand Island heliflight back home and rescheduled when in NY due to weatherconditions. Everything worked just smooth and the flight in perfect weather was a bucket-list thing to do. My wife who is really afraid of flying came over it since the pilot was really gentle with the shifts and she really enjoyed it in the end. Strongly recommend it to everyone who can afford it!

Wow! Everything we had hoped for and more! We opted for the Grand Island flight and it was worth every penny. The pilot went out of his way to show us the sights and added his own little commentary which was informative and amusing. You must do this if you are going to New York!

Hello dwparkes, We thank you for your review. The 30-minute Helicopter Tour is indeed worth every penny. You get to see Manhattan from tip to tip and more! The view from the Hudson River is incredible! Cheers!

I bought the 30 min "grand tour" and loved every second of it. The pilot (Andrew Woods) was Irish and really helped us feel relaxed and get ready with our cameras when we hovered for the best pics of the big landmarks. The guys on the ground also really gave me the VIP treatment and the group handler Santiago made sure we were safe and well prepped and in good spirits before take off. The route takes off from a pier 6 (which is beside the Staten Island Ferry Terminal and close to Brooklyn Bridge) and swoops around the south tip of Manhatten and up its west coast before turning to come back which means you get a great view no matter which side of the chopper you sit on. Andrew clearly loves his job and the company seem to be have a family atmosphere in the office. Would defo do it again!
