Description
Our 17-20 minute Ultimate Tour is our most popular way to see all the sights that Manhattan has to offer. This tour will take you all the way from the Battery, passing face-to-face with the Statue of Liberty to the northern tip of Manhattan to fly above the George Washington Bridge! As you journey above the Hudson River you’ll pass all the icons of New York City – the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Yankee Stadium, and Central Park, as well as see the new kids on the block – Little Island, the Vessel, and Summit One Vanderbilt. Photo opportunities abound, including the all-important selfie with Lady Liberty!
Tour Route
Taking off from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport, you will head straight to the Statue of Liberty. In addition to the One World Trade Center, you will have great views of Hudson Yards, where you can see the Edge, the Highline and the Vessel all at once. Ask our pilots to point out Billionaires Row – these tall, thin apartment buildings are where some of the wealthiest people in the world call home. This tour is the best way to appreciate the greenery of Central Park flying the whole length of this world-famous urban greenspace! Continuing to the northern tip of Manhattan you will fly over the George Washington Bridge, one of the worlds busiest bridges where you will see the natural beauty of the New Jersey’s Palisades Cliffs before returning south.

Our Departure Location
From Times Square it takes about 30 minutes to reach the Heliport by subway or taxi. Keep in mind that any travel after 4pm will take longer due to commuter traffic.
We are a 5 minute walk from the South Ferry subway station; this is the last stop on the 1 train Downtown. If you are using Google Maps or Apple Maps, enter “Downtown Manhattan Heliport” as the address. If you are using a GPS device sometimes our address isn’t recognized, please use 6 East River Piers, New York, 10004.
If you are driving, there is no parking at the heliport but there is a parking garage at the intersection of South Street & Whitehall Street, South St & Old Slip Rd or at the South Street Seaport (Pier 17).
