I did that already couple of years ago, but it was once again a wonderful time and experience! Around battery park, circling the statue of Liberty, then along the Hudson, super!

Company dis a great job BUT Viator never let us know there is an additional $40 per person charge at the gate!!! Beware. It’s in your email confirmation from the company and you can cancel up to 24 hours before but if you book the day before like we did you are stuck paying a fee you knew nothing about without any recourse.

Hello June_C, When it comes to the Heliport Fees, we make it a priority to be completely transparent when it comes to the added fees charged at check in to pay the facility. All third party vendors as well as our own website outline the $40 Heliport Fee. Thank you.
