Perfect, too bad about the view being a bit blocked by the smoke from the Canada wildfires
Thank you for your 5-star review. While we are disappointed the wildfires somewhat impacted the views, we are happy you enjoyed your experience regardless.
The helicopter flight with HeliNY was by far one of the most beautiful experiences of our New York trip. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish – the check-in was quick and uncomplicated, and despite many guests, there was practically no waiting time. Be sure to book in advance! And an important tip: spam emails never come from leaving the Viator site, HeliNY does everything professionally! The entire team was very friendly and always conveyed a sense of safety. You notice immediately that experienced professionals are at work here. The flight itself was simply breathtaking: Seeing the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and the famous bridges from the air is an unforgettable experience. This perspective makes New York even more impressive. For us, the helicopter flight with HeliNY is an absolute must for every New York visit. Anyone who treats themselves to this unique experience will definitely not regret it. Clear 5 out of 5 stars – would do it again anytime!
Thank you for choosing HeliNY! We greatly appreciate your 5-star review and we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your HeliNY experience.
