New York City: Helicopter Skyline Tour from New Jersey

About this experience

This helicopter skyline tour departs from Essex County Airport in New Jersey and covers a 35-minute flight over the greater New York City area. The route heads east from the airport, passing over landmarks including the American Dream Mall and MetLife Stadium, before reaching the Manhattan skyline and its most recognisable structures. The tour runs on Sundays during the day, with additional nighttime departures available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, giving passengers the option to see the city lit up after dark. The starting point is 27 Wright Way, and a heliport fee of $45 per person is payable on-site and is not included in the ticket price. From the air, the flight path brings passengers close to the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, and the Empire State Building, offering elevated views of the Hudson River, the Manhattan grid, and the surrounding boroughs. The nighttime departures are particularly well suited to seeing the illuminated skyline and the density of New York attractions from a single vantage point above the city. Tickets cover the 35-minute flight for one passenger. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and cancellations are accepted before the scheduled timeslot.
