A voyage over the New York skyline on a budget
Get ready to view the best of NYC within a tight budget as you're whisked into the skies for a 15-min helicopter ride, and get a panoramic view of New York's iconic landmarks. As the rotors hum and the city shrinks below, your pilot — also an adept storyteller — regales you with live commentary. Glide by 9+ celebrated attractions and watch the colossal Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886. Let Ellis Island's rich history envelop you; did you know it processed over 12 million immigrant arrivals at its peak?
Manhattan's majestic wonders close-up
As you traverse up the Hudson, feast your eyes on the art-deco splendors of the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Drift by the Intrepid Museum and witness the organized frenzy of Chelsea Piers. The tour encapsulates the essence of New York, from Times Square's neon bustle to the tallest building in New York, the One World Trade Center, and is perfect for budget travelers. You can also upgrade your tickets to a 20-min or 30-min helicopter ride to view a larger number of landmarks in the city.
