This is the closest experience you will find to flying your own helicopter! The flight of your dreams extends the Big City tour south past Liberty Harbor to the world-famous Coney Island beach and amusement park.
You'll fly over to Lower Manhattan's Battery Park and world-renowned Wall Street and then to greet the Statue of Liberty eye-to-eye where the awe continues as you take in the aerial view from Ellis Island.
You'll also get the chance to fly over the spectacular Verrazano Bridge, the longest double-decker suspension bridge in New York connecting Staten Island and Brooklyn. The grandeur and romance of the vistas make this tour a perfect date or family adventure. You will also revel in the delight of seeing New York's harbors and beaches in their entirety!
