Which New York Helicopter Tour should you pick?

Eric’s tip: There are several helicopter tours to choose from. I have now taken over 25 and found all of them well worth the money. The last one I took was in April 2026, the 15-minute ride (click here). I know that 15 minutes doesn’t seem that long, but trust me, you get to see all of the ‘important’ places, and it’s a great experience. If I had to choose, I would go for a 15 or 18-minute ride (see link below). In my opinion, it’s the best value for the money. I’d go for the 25-minute “Grand Island” Tour if money were no object. Always book well in advance, which is often much cheaper than purchasing your tickets on the day. It is a great gift that someone special will never forget or an awesome treat for yourself.

Special Helicopter Flights

Do you want to do something extra special? Then, choose the Evening Helicopter Flight. During this flight, you’ll enjoy city views with all its beautiful evening lights as a backdrop. The evening helicopter flight is especially nice for people who have already taken a normal helicopter flight over New York and are looking for a different and unique experience.

Cheap helicopter tours over New York are also available. These leave from a heliport outside New York, a short drive from Manhattan.

For a more personalised flight experience, book a private helicopter tour in New York. While seeing all the city’s iconic landmarks, your own private pilot adds a touch of luxury, perfect for a special occasion.

Additional Information

Important! After booking your flight, make sure you contact the tour operator to confirm the exact date and time of your booking. After making your booking online, you’ll receive a voucher by email, containing all the tour operator’s contact information. I advise that you contact them at least two weeks in advance, if not before. If you are booking within two weeks of your flight, contact the operator right away to confirm the time and date. The earlier you confirm your booking, the more time slots you have available for your date.
