Our ride on the helicopter was simply awesome. The security and safe protocols are very strict as it should be for something like that. The view of city and the Hudson was spectacular. I had the opportunity to ride in front and for me as an amateur photographer was perfect. If you have the chance do it there is no other way to photograph the Statue of Liberty and the city buildings from thus angles. Is not my first time on a helicopter ride.

It was well worth the money, I booked this activity as a surprise birthday gift and it was much appreciated. It made the trip quite unforgettable and while seeing so many things from the bird perspective crosses off quite a few things such as taking a ferry to see the Statue of Liberty or going on a rooftop of say Freedom Tower. The audio quire wasn’t the language I had booked it in but thankfully we both understood English so it wasn’t too bad. Music which was played suited the ambiente and to finish the tour with Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys was fantastically fitting. We arrived earlier than our scheduled time and they even managed to take us on an earlier flight. It’s a great activity I can only recommend doing it, it’s not an everyday thing to do so - give it a try. :)

Bella esperienza

Si raggiunge con circa 30’ di anticipo l’Eliporto di Downtown Manhattan situato al molo 6 ove dopo controllo del passaporto e del biglietto viene mostrato un video in sola lingua inglese di pochi minuti inerenti le misure di sicurezza. All’orario stabilito si raggiunge e si sale a bordo dell’elicottero. Dopo il decollo si sorvola su Governors Island e sulla Statua della Libertà con ottima visibilità per tutti e 5 gli occupanti a bordo in quanto il pilota effettua manovra lenta poi subentra la fortuna di stare al fianco del pilota o nei due posti vista pilota che permettono una migliore visibilità su Manhattan fino a raggiungere l’inizio di Central Park ove l’elicottero gira e torna verso la base lungo il fiume Hudson. Prossima esperienza personale sarà con elicottero senza porte. Ottima esperienza.
