New York City is one of those rare places that looks just as spectacular from the air as it does on the ground—maybe even better. It’s pure magic from above, with its glittering skyline, the Statue of Liberty standing proudly, and the sweeping ribbons of bridges connecting the boroughs.
A shared sightseeing tour can give you a taste of this. Still, a private helicopter ride takes the experience to a new level. It’s personal and flexible, and—done right—it can transform into an unforgettable luxury adventure.
If you’ve ever wondered whether a private helicopter charter is worth the investment, here’s everything you need to know—plus why HeliNY is one of the best for travelers ready to see New York and the Northeast in style.
HeliNY helicopter tours in New York City are amazing shared experiences: fixed routes, fixed times, and a handful of passengers you’ve likely never met. You still get those fantastic views, but there’s no customization.
With a private helicopter ride, you get the aircraft to yourself. It’s just you, your guests, and the pilot—free to shape the experience exactly how you want it. With HeliNY, that means two distinct options:
HeliNY’s custom tours are ideal if you want to stay in the NYC area but still enjoy a personalized flight.
