Description

Take in breathtaking nighttime views of New York City as you depart from Essex County Airport in New Jersey, conveniently located just a 45–60 minute taxi or rideshare from Midtown Manhattan. Sit back and enjoy the ride of a lifetime on a 25–30 minute flight, beginning with illuminated views of landmarks like American Dream and MetLife Stadium before heading toward Manhattan’s glowing skyline. As you soar above the Hudson River, witness the city come alive with iconic sights including the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, and more—each beautifully lit against the night sky. A once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget—and one you’ll be talking about long after you land.

Exciting Helicopter Tour

Great pilot, great trip which my daughter and I really enjoyed. Venue quite difficult to access from Manhattan unless you spend an additional 100 dollars on a taxi.

Mega - experience

A unique experience with an organizer who was very competent, friendly and nice. We were offered to see not only the nightlights, but since all the passengers were there earlier, we also took off earlier to experience the sunset in flight. During the flight, the pilot made it possible for us to fly around the Empire State Buliding once after appropriate clearance. Mega! One person could sit on the co-pilot spot--unforgettable view!
