The Best NYC Helicopter Rides and Tours

Getty Images

New York City has one of the most magnificent skylines in the world, and admiring it from the air aboard a helicopter tour is a sightseeing experience unlike any other. You can choose from varying flight lengths and departure locations, though many take you over the same key attractions. U.S. News compiled this list of the best helicopter tours in the city, with the help of traveler opinion and expert input.

Note: Many helicopter tour providers charge a heliport (facility) fee on top of the tour price. The cost varies by provider, but you can expect to pay $30 to $40 per passenger.

HeliNY – The Ultimate Tour

Price: From $249 Duration: 20 minutes

Get a bird's-eye view of the world-famous Manhattan skyline on this flight with HeliNY. On the Ultimate Tour – the company's most popular – the pilot will treat you and up to five other passengers to aerial views of many top city sights, like the Statue of Liberty, the George Washington Bridge, the Empire State Building, Central Park, Yankee Stadium and more. Reviewers describe seeing "million dollar" views on this tour and say the crew was highly professional and informative, with several describing the helicopter tour as a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience that's worth the money. However, a few travelers express disappointment in the flight's short length.

Tours depart Monday through Saturday beginning at 9 a.m.; the last tour takes off at 5 p.m. All tours leave from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. Children younger than 2 ride for free in an adult's lap. HeliNY offers a variety of tours departing from both Manhattan and New Jersey, including outings that last about 30 minutes and a private helicopter tour option.

HeliNY – City Skyline Experience        

Price: From $244 Duration: 30 minutes

On this New York City helicopter tour, which departs from New Jersey's Linden Airport, you'll soar high above Manhattan and over the Hudson River to see attractions like Central Park, Hudson Yards, the Chrysler Building and One World Trade Center. Tourgoers call the experience the highlight of their New York trip and highly praise the organized staff and the personable pilot. Some note that you cannot see much from the craft's middle seat.

There is no cost for children younger than 2, who must sit on an adult's lap. Tours, which are limited to six passengers, are available Monday through Saturday in the evenings (exact times depend on the time of year). There are departures all day long on Sunday.

Zip Aviation – Liberty Harbor Helicopter Tour

Price: From $229 Duration: 15 minutes

If you're short on time or looking for a slightly more budget-friendly option, book this tour, which flies over most of the major Manhattan attractions. On the flight, you'll see the Statue of Liberty, the National September 11 Memorial, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building and Times Square, among other sights. Most reviewers describe it as a smooth ride with incredible views. However, some note that seats are assigned upon arrival (based on weight) and it can be difficult to see from the middle seat. If you would like to guarantee a good seat and a great view, the company recommends booking a private tour.

Tours are available Monday through Saturday approximately every 30 minutes between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Flights depart from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. If you're looking for a slightly longer flight, consider Zip Aviation's Big City Helicopter Tour or its Grand Island Helicopter Tour.

Zip Aviation – Grand Island Helicopter Tour

Price: From $359 Duration: 30 minutes

On this ride, you'll spot key NYC sights like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park and the Empire State Building, as well as Ellis Island, Yankee Stadium, Harlem and the USS Intrepid. Along the way, you'll hear a prerecorded narration about the sights below. Tour-takers describe the staff as courteous and professional, and they say the views are outstanding.

Flights are available to book Monday through Saturday; they depart every half-hour from about 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. You can also choose from various other tours the company offers, including a nighttime flight of the city skyline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anytime is a great time to take a helicopter tour. Companies often recommend booking your tour early in your trip in case your flight is canceled. This way, you have ample chances to rebook.

The weight limit per passenger ranges from 275 to 300 pounds. Some companies will require individuals who weigh more than 250 pounds to purchase an additional seat. Check your chosen provider's policies before you book. Also keep in mind that you'll be seated in the helicopter based on weight to keep the craft balanced during flight.

Tipping your pilot is not required but generally appreciated. If you choose to tip, pay about $20 per person. You could also tip about 15% of the total cost of your tour.

Hear Why Sightseers Love Us on TripAdvisor

On our holiday to New York City it was on our list to have a helicopter ride! What a fabulous experience! I was very fortunate to sit with the pilot, Andrew from Dublin (I am from Wales so it was a great connection instantly), and he gave me one of the best life experiences. It was amazing!! Between the Statue of Liberty, the NYC skyline, and the bridges, I can’t recommend it enough!

Loved every minute of this trip. It is well worth the money spent. A big thank you to the pilot - he looked after us, explaining everything whilst taking us to the heliport. The waiting area was clean and the guys were friendly. He was very friendly and chatty, wanting to know where everyone came from. I really recommend this trip if you want an unforgettable experience.

I spent a few days in New York City with my girlfriend and we did a lot of things, but without a doubt, the highlight of our trip was Manhattan Helicopters. The service was so efficient that we were flying in no time, but the best part was the friendliness of the place, especially from Santiago and Osvaldo Vigo. Those two gentlemen were amazing!! Highly recommend the tour to anybody.

I booked the VIP tour, which included 25 minutes of helicopter tour. As soon as I arrived, they got me on the flight with my 8-year-old daughter, and everything was in order and done in a very professional manner. The ride was awesome, as we got the front row, right next to the pilot so we could see the panoramic view, which was a great experience.

Here’s what they have to say about the tour:

Just book, you’ll love it

For the best sightseeing experience you can get, book a HeliNY Tour. High above the traffic, you get an unrivaled view of all the sights, buildings, and locations of Manhattan and surrounding areas. Although I suffer with heights, I felt in excellent hands with our pilot and distracted myself with the incredible skyline of this metropolis heaven. Security was rapid. Safety instructions were short and to the point. The seats are extremely comfortable, and the headphone-based communications were incredibly clear.

Olly B., Trip Advisor

Best experience in New York

Without a shadow of a doubt, this was the highlight of our trip to New York. The staff was friendly and helpful, considering one of our parties got lost on the way to the venue. She found it the next day.

Orla B, Trip Advisor

Well worth the money

Our pilot was excellent – she pointed out all the sights as we went up the Hudson. The helicopter was clean, and there was enough room for all 6’3″ of me in the back without feeling like I had my knees squashed around my ears. The ground staff was polite, friendly, and helpful. The safety video beforehand was thorough. Finding the place is easy enough. This was not cheap but definitely worth it.
