It was the perfect flight at sunset. The guys also hurried a bit so that we were in the air in time for the sunset. Everything was super organized.
Thank you for flying with HeliNY, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your sunset helicopter tour!
Awesome the highlight of 4days in NY on my birthday, staff absolutely friendly, I recommended to anyone!!!😎
Thank you for your 5-star recommendation and for celebrating your birthday with us!
I have been on several previous helicopter rides in other countries and never encountered a middle seat. There should be only 5 passenger seats instead of 6 so EVERYONE has a window view!! Thankfully my granddaughter had a window seat as thus trip to NYC was for her. She enjoyed it.
Thank you for your review, we're delighted to hear that your granddaughter enjoyed the experience! Our cabin configurations are listed on our website.

It was great but PLEASE be there at least 1 hour prior to your flight. They’re willing to work with you but be conscious that there may be other families as well.
Thank you for your review, we're glad that you enjoyed your HeliNY experience.
Had a great flight over and around NYC, saw all the main sites. The pilot gave us a great flight and was informative about all the sites etc. Definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about doing a helicopter trip whilst in NYC

This is the best way to see Manhattan if you only have a short period of time in the city. Its expensive but worth it.
Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review!
Our flight with David was great! My kids were nervous at first, but, the ride was very smooth and exciting! My kids wouldn’t stop talking over him and he didn’t complain about it one time! I really appreciate the trip and David’s patience with us.
Thank you for flying with HeliNY and for your recognition of David!
Goosebumps! Sensational family experience! Unforgettable!
Superb experience from beginning to end. The ladies and gents who work at the helipad were great and upbeat, the booking in process is very easy and everything is explained. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Great alternative view of Manhattan.
