Liberty Helicopter Tours - A Unique Perspective on New York City

A Liberty Helicopter Tour is an opportunity to get a unique perspective of New York City, one that few locals will ever experience. During a tour, high above the crowded streets and noisy traffic, the only sounds are the whir of helicopter blades and the pilot’s voice. Passengers feel safe and secure as they soar above the city, relishing spectacular views through the helicopter’s generous wraparound windows.

Perhaps most impressive are the panoramic views of Midtown’s legendary skyline. On sunny days, the skyscrapers sparkle like jewels, and the Hudson and East Rivers are a vibrant, shimmering blue.  But there’s no such thing as ‘bad lighting’ in glamorous Gotham, any cloud cover only adds to the drama of the cavernous concrete jungle below.

There are several tour options, ranging from 15 to 25 minutes long.  All tours provide fabulous views of the New York skyline, downtown Manhattan’s Financial District, Ellis Island, Governors Island, and the Statue of Liberty.

The longer tours are a ticket-to-ride over the city’s most iconic landmarks. Passengers enjoy close-up views of the Chrysler Building, United Nations, Empire State Building, and Met Life Building. Some tours also fly over Yankee Stadium, unless a home game is in progress.  Tours provide a bird’s-eye view of bustling Times Square and ritzy Columbus Circle, before heading back down the isle of Manhattan, and cutting across the man-made, wooded oasis of Central Park. Passengers also get the chance to look down on the controversial Financial District at the southern tip of Manhattan, as well as the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.

Most Liberty pilots are former US Military and NYPD. Highly trained and disciplined, they’re well-equipped to ensure the safest flight possible. Liberty pilots also have extensive knowledge of New York City and the surrounding areas, so they double as tour guides. Helicopters are serviced daily in a nearby facility by one of the most highly-trained maintenance staff in the aviation industry.
