Seeing the Manhattan skyline from an aerial view was nothing short of breathtaking. It was an idea from our 5-year old daughter who saw it from a learning cartoon series where the characters flew in a helicopter to see the Statue of Liberty. She wanted to do the exact same thing! We all never been on a helicopter ride, so we asked a number of times whether she was sure. Each time she was confident with her answer, YES. We picked HeliNY and we were glad we made the right choice. Upon arrival, the amazing staff were professional, and removed any anxiety from flying which made the experience even more memorable. They were able to squeeze us into the 30-min ride because there was available seats on one of the helicopters. I definitely recommend the 30 min excursion because you don’t feel rushed and get a more time to soak in the breathtaking views of Manhattan. It’s something every one needs to try once in their lives. Add it to the bucket list! Thank you HeliNY!!!
