What our Guests say about the Vegas Views

This helicopter adventure was so much fun and informative. Absolutely loved it.

Tony B. , Canada

Highly recommend!!!!

This was the first time I was ever on a helicopter. I was a bit nervous. The second we met Jared, I felt much better. He small talked w all of us and I instantly forgot about how nervous I was! He explained things, was funny, and really focused on making it a great experience for my kids.

Hope , Las Vegas

It was my first time on a helicopter and my boyfriend's second time. I was scared at first, but after seeing how many people were there and how many pilots were doing these tours I felt very comfortable. I wish we could have gone through the strip to see the lights on both sides, but it was a cool experience.

Great experience! I think it is a must for everyone!

Brenda , Little Rock, CA

I've recommended to family and friends-this is a must activity when they come to Vegas. The ride and view were pretty awesome!

Gilbert Moore , Las Vegas

I would highly recommend this tour to everyone, the views were spectacular! Locals and visitors alike, because this is an experience you can't get anywhere else.

Sarah P , Las Vegas

Literally the best experience I've had and I thank Maverick for being the company I chose for it!

Eileen C , Las Vegas

This was such a top shelf company! I am highly recommending this experience.

Exploring NYC by night is one of the best ways to see the city, and it offers a totally different perspective compared to sightseeing during the day. Not only that, but some of the best tours in NYC happen after the sun has gone down.

You can admire the glittering lights of the NYC skyline at night on these tours, which allow you to explore the city on foot, by bus, by boat, by helicopter, and more.

You can also experience different sides of the city in the evening, from nightlife tours that take you to NYC’s best bars and clubs to ghost tours that explore the city’s haunted history.

On that note, keep reading for some of the best NYC night tours that will show you all that New York has to offer after dark!

How To Choose The Best NYC Night Tour

How do you choose the best New York night tour? There are a few important factors to consider when booking a night tour in NYC.

First, decide how active you want to be. If you’ve been walking around all day and want to get off your feet and rest, exploring by comfortable tour bus or boat tour is the best option; however, if you want to be more active, consider a nighttime walking tour or an NYC nightlife tour.

Similarly, don’t forget about the weather. If you’re visiting NYC in the winter , an outdoor tour at night may not be the best idea; but in the summer, nighttime can be the most pleasant time of day to be outside.

Finally, consider what you want to see. As a local New Yorker, some of my favorite sites to see after dark include the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, and the Chrysler Building.

Additionally, if you can get a view of the entire skyline lit up, such as from an evening boat tour or helicopter tour, that can be truly special.

One of the main issues I came across when researching NYC helicopter tours is that there are so many different options to choose from. They all seem very similar with little to distinguish between them all.

The purpose of this list is to simplify the options for you.

Instead of listing out all the tours from all the companies, I have chosen the highest rated helicopter tours in a few different main categories.

The goal is to have no complexity and no confusion. Simply book the type of tour that interests you most and be on your way!

To start, below is a high-level view of the New York helicopter tours I will talk more about in this overview.

New York City All Around Helicopter Tour (#1, #2, #3)

When it comes to NYC helicopter tours, most people simply want to sit back, take some photos, and enjoy the landmarks of the city from above.

The issue is that there are so many tours out there that do this exact thing but just name their tours differently.

So, instead of reading through everything out there, I figured I just mention the highest rated NYC helicopter tour to choose from.

  • Price : $274
  • Time : 7:30PM – 8:30PM

And what better way to see the city at night than to take part of this NYC City Lights Helicopter Tour .

With this tour, you will get a very similar experience to the 25-30 minute day time tour. The main difference here is that the daytime tour departs from Manhattan and the night tour departs from Linden Airport in New Jersey.

Even with the NJ departure, you will still get to take in NYC from New York Harbor, all the way up to the Bronx. Taking in those bright lights of Times Square, the colorful landmark buildings, and the rest of NYC is something that is just tough to beat.

Although it is a further out journey to get to the departure point, the helicopter ride is actually cheaper. So, if you want to get a similar experience, see the city at night , and save some money, then the night tour could be for you.

This will allow you to not have any glass out in front of you and it can give you the option to dangle your legs outside of the helicopter.

While a doors on ride can be a thrilling experience on its own, a doors off ride is only for those that are ready for a true adrenaline rush over NYC.

As you go about booking, be sure you select the doors off option as the company also offers doors on rides as well.

While Westchester may seem far, it is actually pretty easy to get to. This can be done by an hour drive or a 75 minute train + Uber. When going about the booking, there is also an option to include a private transfer from NYC to make things easier.

Since the private tour comes in from Westchester, the first part of the flight will be flying southbound as the city skyline continues to be seen in the distance. This will give you a new perspective of NYC that other tours won’t offer.

Although you won’t get to enjoy the highlights & attractions as you would on a normal helicopter ride, there will still be views of the NYC skyline out in the distance.

You will have the chance to choose between 30 minute and 60 minute flight options depending on how long you want to spend up in the sky learning. Also note that 1 guest is allowed to join in on the helicopter ride as well.

Flights leave from Westchester County Airport so you can either opt to pay for the private transfer or head there on your own.

Important Things to Know

Before you head out on that helicopter flight over NYC, be sure to read up on some important things to know.

What To Bring : while each tour may be slightly different, expect to only bring what can fit in your pockets, in addition to a camera & sunglasses. Bags and other items can be left in lockers prior to the flight.

Weather : if the weather turns for the worse, it is possible that flights can be cancelled. Be sure to leave some flexibility in your schedule so you can hop onto a rescheduled flight.

Flight Path : due to regulations set by the City of New York, helicopters are not allowed to fly directly over NYC. However, the flights will follow the coastline along the East River, New York Harbor, and Hudson River. Given the elevation of the helicopter, you are still sure to get remarkable views of the city from above.

Elevation : speaking of elevation, expect the flights to be around 1,500 feet to 2,000 feet above sea level. This will give you the chance to fully appreciate all that NYC has to offer.

Passenger Seating : most helicopters have seating for 6 people (plus the pilot). One seat will be next to the pilot, and then 5 seats in the back (2 backward / 3 forward). Your seating arrangement will depend on the weights of the passengers to balance the heli.

Arrival Time : be sure to pay close attention to the requested arrival time. Before the flight, there will be some time for check in, lockers, and introduction.

Departure Point : also, be aware of the departure points of these various tours. These can be in downtown Manhattan (Pier 6), New Jersey (Linden or Kearny), or Westchester (Westchester County Airport).

New York Helicopter Tour

NYC Helicopter Tour Attractions & Highlights

When it comes to attractions and highlights of NYC helicopter tours, there will be an endless list out there. Since you will have such a high vantage point over the city, the views will be expansive in all directions.

But there are some landmarks that you should get up and close to, as you take in panoramas that few others get to see. Here is a list of the best of them.

Located in the East River is the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge that connects downtown Manhattan with downtown Brooklyn.

The bridge is an iconic structure with its suspension cables and limestone towers standing tall.

In addition to the Brooklyn Bridge, the nearby Manhattan Bridge and even Williamsburg Bridge should be in view during a helicopter ride.

Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island

Within New York Harbor you will find two small islands – one houses the Statue of Liberty while the second has Ellis Island.

Getting to see the Statue of Liberty from above, with the city skyline out back is surely going to be a special experience to take part of.

For those that want to get up close and personal to these landmarks, be sure to head on a NYC Dinner Cruise !

While the entirety of the NYC skyline will be seen from a variety of angles throughout these helicopter rides, one building stands tall in downtown Manhattan – One World Trade.

This tower is the tallest in the city and its floor to ceiling glass, makes it one of the most sleek buildings out there.

You can also head on up to the top on your own by visiting the One World Observatory .

Perhaps the most well known landmark in NYC is the Empire State Building . Located in midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building stands tall with its multi level observation deck up top.

Surrounding the Empire State Building will be other landmarks such as The Edge, One Vanderbilt, the Chrysler Building, among others.

New York City Heli Tours

In the heart of Manhattan is Times Square. With its bright lights and massive billboards, it is one of the most happening spots in all of NYC.

Getting to see the action from a bird’s eye view is going to be a special experience to take part of.

For those that want to wake up with a view, check out the best hotels in Times Square .

For me, it doesn’t get much better than the 843 acre Central Park located between 59 th Street and 110 th Streets.

The park is full of trees, water features, walking paths, lawns, and plenty more to explore by foot.

But getting to see the park from above with the skyline out back is something only an NYC helicopter tour can offer.

Other Highlights

The highlights just go on and on though. Some other top spots to look out for during a visit include: Madison Square Garden, George Washington Bridge , Yankee Stadium, Flatiron Building, Chelsea Piers, South Street Seaport , and just so much more.

I have a hard time believing you won’t enjoy this one of kind experience when visiting NYC.

NYC Helicopter Tour Questions Answered

To finish up this overview, here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions when it comes to New York helicopter tours.

How Much Does a NYC Helicopter Tour Cost?

This really depends on the type of tour you opt for. However, for the more standard tours out there, expect to pay between $239 and $389 for a ride that lasts anywhere between 15-30 minutes.

If you opt for some other more unique experiences, such as a private flight, then this price can go up.

What Is the Best Time for a Helicopter Tour in Manhattan?

While you can’t go wrong with a helicopter tour, in my opinion, the ideal time for a helicopter tour is around sunset.

Most of the tours allow you to pick a specific time slot that range from early morning to early evening. Some of the later ones (depending on time of year), can overlap with sunset.

Seeing the sun set over NYC with the sky changing colors will just make the experience that much more special.

So, if you are able to work it in, try to opt for that sunset ride!

Where Do NYC Helicopter Tours Leave From?

In general, there are four main helipads that NYC helicopter tours leave from. These include:

  • Pier 6 in Downtown Manhattan
  • Kearny, New Jersey
  • Linden Airport, New Jersey
  • Westchester Regional Airport

Be sure to pay close attention to the departure point and leave yourself enough time for travel to the starting point.

Is a NYC Helicopter Worth It?

If seeing the city from above is of interest to you, then there is little doubt that an NYC helicopter tour is worth it.

Getting to see the skyline from 2,000 feet up in the air is something that just cannot be matched. While observation decks get you up there, it is no match for helicopters that take you around the perimeter of NYC.

Having the chance to see just so many landmarks from up close, and getting a variety of skyline views at every moment, will make an NYC helicopter tour one of the best decisions you make during a trip.

Brooklyn Bridge Heli Tours

You’ll end up in Page, Arizona, where you’ll land and join a private guide who will take you on a short hike to an exclusive Navajo viewpoint at Horseshoe Bend . Bring your camera because you’ll want to capture the gorgeous views from this 1,000-foot-tall lookout.

My Las Vegas helicopter tour review

As you can see, there are all kinds of helicopter tours in Las Vegas , so I’m sure you’ll find an option that suits your trip and budget. Flying over Las Vegas in a sightseeing chopper is a totally unique experience that you’ll never forget, so I wholeheartedly recommend adding it to your itinerary.

During our 10-day road trip along the West Coast , we decided to take the Grand Celebration heli-tour , and it was a highlight of our trip. Not only were we able to see Sin City from above, but we also flew over the Grand Canyon’s West Rim. The aerial views of the canyon’s gorges and valleys were breathtaking, and we even got to land on the canyon floor for additional views.

Las Vegas helicopter tours review

We upgraded to the sunset helicopter ride over Las Vegas , and it was definitely worth it. Seeing the last bits of sunlight sparkling on the Strip was a beautiful sight and gave us a new perspective of the city. It was an exhilarating ride, and we felt safe the entire time. Our pilot was very professional and friendly, and she took the time to point out the main sights during our ride.

While there are several tour operators in the area, we love Papillon Helicopters in Las Vegas. They have over 50 years of experience, excellent rates, and an incredible safety record. Papillon is one of the most reputable Grand Canyon sightseeing companies, so keep them in mind if you’re thinking of taking a helicopter ride out of Las Vegas . You can also find more info about this company in our Papillon helicopter review .

Yes, flying in a Las Vegas helicopter is safe. The tour operators have decades of experience and adhere to strict safety regulations, so you’ll be in good hands.

Shorter Las Vegas helicopter tours last about 10-15 minutes. Of course, if you take a helicopter tour from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon or another nearby attraction, the ride will last longer.

When is the best time to take a helicopter tour in Las Vegas?

What should I wear on a Las Vegas helicopter trip?
