Thank you for flying with HeliNY and for your comments regarding our team!
Great experience, we really enjoyed our flight. Everything went like clockwork. Staff were friendly, plenty of reminders and information received beforehand. The meeting point is just along from Governors Island ferry terminal, which is not far from the Staten Island ferry terminal. There were lockers for our bags. The views were amazing. The full set of digital pictures were available for 40 dollars afterwards.

The team is really top-notch! We had to move our tour because of the weather, and everything was put in place to find a solution. There were six of us, and the pilot was great and very reassuring with me, as I was not very comfortable. We had the tour in English, and it was perfect! It is truly an unforgettable experience that you will not regret! I recommend them 100%!
