A voyage over the New York skyline on a budget
Get ready to view the best of NYC within a tight budget as you're whisked into the skies for a 15-min helicopter ride, and get a panoramic view of New York's iconic landmarks. As the rotors hum and the city shrinks below, be regaled by the live commentary. Glide by 9+ celebrated attractions and watch the colossal Statue of Liberty, a gift from France in 1886. Let Ellis Island's rich history envelop you; did you know it processed over 12 million immigrant arrivals at its peak?
Manhattan's majestic wonders close-up
As you traverse up the Hudson, feast your eyes on the art-deco splendors of the Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Drift by the Intrepid Museum and witness the organized frenzy of Chelsea Piers.
