I was nervous as I booked this but friends persuaded me to do it and oh boy am I glad I did!! Great set up, put us completely at ease and our pilot, Bill, was lovely. Informative and friendly - couldn't have asked for more. We were blessed with a good day which helped but I would urge anyone to put their brave pants on and take an unforgettable trip. Would definitely reccommend!

If they are going to cancel a flight they shouldn’t wait until I travel for 30 minutes in the rain on a motorcycle and show up at the helipad

No own photos allowed in front of the heli, only in the aircraft!!! Then you need to wear masks inside. Sorry but no one wears masks anywhere anymore (public transport, museums, shops etc) and in the heli where photos are so important you need to wear masks?!? I paid over 550€ for a 20 min flight and then they want 40$ for the digital photos? Sorry but if own photos are not allow then these things needs to be included!!!

Because the heliport is a busy place with active rotors, the landlords deem that it is unsafe for passengers to take their own pictures walking to and from the helicopter. Our staff do take a picture of passengers prior to the flight which can be purchased as a print of digital copy afterwards. We do not include the souvenir price in the experience price so that passengers can choose whether or not they wish to purchase their photo. Although the federal mandate for masks has ended, HeliNY is still asking all staff and passengers to wear a mask at all times for everyone's protection.
