T<\/span>o be eye to eye with the Lady of Liberty would be an incredible gift. To be able to soar above the George Washington Bridge would be a miracle. To swoop and loop in between of the Empire State Building and Freedom Tower would be down-right insane. Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird, is it a plane?! Nope, it\u2019s your heli-tour of New York City.<\/h5>\n

Upgrade your sightseeing<\/h2>\n

We know the general rule of thumb is to never succumb to tourist, or even tourist-like, behavior; but with so many legendary sights to see and so little time, this becomes a tourist trap hard to resist.\u00a0No other excursion takes you to such heights and tours the city\u2019s most iconic landmarks in record time (really, there is no competition). Typically 15 to 30 minutes to explore from the residential neighbor New Jersey<\/strong> to fun-land Coney Island<\/strong>, with a bird\u2019s eye view of the bustling grid of NYC\u2019s streets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is the ultimate aerial experience<\/strong>\u00a0offered by many private helicopter companies who aim to unveil extraordinary landscapes and landmarks<\/strong> of the city and its surroundings in a very loud, very comfy aerodynamic device, but always with style and grace.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re taking the scenic route!<\/h2>\n

Most journeys begin\u00a0at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport<\/strong> or Pier 6 in Lower Manhattan<\/strong>, where sleek, luxury aircrafts are inspected before takeoff. Raised steadily into the air, the world below spirals into slow-mo; and the views, well the views are as expected.<\/p>\n

Jaw-dropping that is. The famed skyline<\/strong> comes to life as you soar amongst the world\u2019s tallest buildings. It\u2019s as humbling as it is awe-inspiring; and, a plus, you won't have to worry about flies swarming in your gaping mouth at this altitude (approx 1000 ft). And in the background, the sky and waters blend seamlessly to create a beautiful spectrum of blues and lavenders with the frequent white ripples of soaring planes or cruising yachts, the horizon is endless reaching far into the green forests of upstate New York, and the island of concrete protrudes in an otherworldly 3-D effect around you as the life left below disappears into the shrinking streets \u2026 And yes, you\u2019ll want to bring your cameras, iphones, androids, whatever - bring them all!<\/p>\n

The Big Apple Helicopter Tour of New York<\/strong> is a crowd favorite, it is (mostly) safe and (mostly) informative - the chances of crashing are under 10%, and the pilots are friendly experts of the city,\u00a0giving a\u00a0play-by-play commentary into the heavy-duty headphones. They\u2019ll tell the story of the iridescent One World Trade Center<\/strong> and memorialized Ground-Zero<\/strong>, the deals gone sour in the Rockefeller Center<\/strong>, the hopeful fables of Ellis Island<\/strong>, and of the hearts broken on the Brooklyn Bridge<\/strong>. Truly magnificent.<\/p>\n

Personalize your tour<\/h2>\n

With about a million and one National Landmarks (okay, 114), you\u2019ll want to pick and choose your monuments\u00a0wisely. Most private tours allow clients to create a tailor-made aerial experience and ensure a top-of-the-line personalized service.<\/p>\n

For the ultimate sports fans, it can be the Yankee Stadium<\/strong>, the MetLife Stadium<\/strong>, and perhaps Madison Square Garden<\/strong>; for the aficionados of natural beauty and a thumping green thumb, it should be the New York Botanical Gardens<\/strong>, Central Park<\/strong>, the Bronx Zoo<\/strong>, and perhaps the fairways of Westchester<\/strong>; for the (American) history buffs, the Statue of Liberty<\/strong> of course, Governors Island<\/strong>, and Grant Tomb<\/strong>; and for the admirers of architecture, it will be the Art-Deco inspired Empire State<\/strong> and Chrysler Buildings<\/strong>, Beaux-Arts style Flatiron Building<\/strong>, and the multitude of concrete, glass, steel, or brick masterpieces that share the same constructional heritage \u2026 so basically the entire skyline and everything in-between. Okay, very doable.<\/p>\n

Specialty flights<\/h2>\n

Other tours come with special features to enhance an already unimaginable experience. Discover NYC by air and sea<\/strong> at night with VIP Night Helicopter Flight<\/strong> and Statue of Liberty Cruise<\/strong> and take a water taxi to Jersey City<\/strong>, where your luxury chopper awaits to begin a tour amongst the city\u2019s bright lights, concluding with an hour-long cruise along the New York Harbor, and topped with a champagne toast on Liberty Island - ah, a cheers to freedom!<\/p>\n

There is also a special tour for the cosmopolitan who\u2019s always on the move. A private helicopter transfer is available from Lower Manhattan<\/strong> to most New York airports (that is if you don\u2019t already have a private chopper), to bypass excruciating traffic or public transportations while gaining some last minute inspiration from World Financial Center, where Warren Buffett perfected his craft (and you will, too). Think about it: hours behind roaring taxis? \u2026 or 10 minutes with your head (and body) in the clouds enjoying a spectacular view of the concrete kingdom.<\/p>\n
