Why not splash some cash and take an amazing helicopter ride over New York and its iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Yankee Stadium and the Empire State Building.
There are a number of operators to chose from so it’s really just a matter of checking out Get Your Guide when the time is right as this site provides all your options, costs and links to book.
A 15 minute tour costs anywhere from £200 / €237 / $250 or for a 30 minute flight from £300 / €356 / $375 per person and you can have an option to have the doors off and hang over the side (harnessed up of course!). There can be some deals depending on the time of year and time of day you choose to fly but these are the average costs.
Be mindful to check where the meeting point is before you book as some may be well outside of the main city and a little more difficult to get to and from.
The best meeting, take off and landing location is from the iconic East River Pier 6 not far from the Brooklyn Bridge which is often the landing facility for when the President of the United States visits New York and is frequently used in movies and tv series such as The Wolf of Wall Street and Succession.
Pier 6 is in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan near Wall Street and the nearest Subway is Whitehall St / South Ferry which is a 3 minute walk away from the helicopter meeting point.
We highly recommend this amazing experience and taking the opportunity for a helicopter ride over New York city and see its iconic landmarks from a unique perspective.
