Very disappointing service, 100$ additional fees on site
sacha_L
, Jan 2022
We arrived with my boyfriend on site at 9:13 am for a flight at 10 am. The mail told us to arrive 45min before the flight which we did. Finally, the girl who picked up us with the car arrived at 9:17am so we did the "check-in" at 9:17am. Someone told us that we were late and we have been forced to pay 50$ additional fees per person because of our late check in. i showed them a proof of the uber ticket saying we arrived at 9:13am on site... but nobody have thought to refund us.
Moreover, we waited for more than 1 hour because "we were late", people have walked past us because we were only two so we waited for late people to fly to be 6 customers in the helicopter. That's why we waited until 11:10am to take the helicopter (and we were here for 9:13am)...
I do not recommend this agency at all.

Too Short

Too Short for what we paid , also if you are in Manhattan , we need a cab which is more 130$ . So all together it’s not worth.

AVOID IF YOU WANT A HAPPY HOLIDAY
Brandon_P
, Dec 2021
So I paid 300 dollars for me and my partner to fly at 12 o’clock midday. We were waiting in the waiting room over an hour and half and finally took off at 1:50. We have missed our other excursion that was booked for 2 o’clock so are now down 150 dollars. You are quick to mention how much we will be fined if we are late. However you are over an hour and half late whilst I’m on my dream holiday with limited days to explore surely there should be retribution. If I’m paying 300 dollars I expect everything to be on time and could forgive 30 mins but 2 whole hours late isn’t good enough. The flight and pilot were great but the experience before and after were a shambles.
Response from Host , Dec 2021
We apologize for any inconvenience, as for your flight tour it was between 12-1pm. We do advise customers to be at the heliport 45min before their flight in order to check in. Sometimes things are out of our control just like an airport where you may have to wait a bit longer than anticipated.

Disappointing
Kimberly_H
, Dec 2021
I booked this as a surprise for my husband. The departure point is 30-60 mins away from Manhattan so leave lots of time to get there, taxi cost us $100 so its not cheap. Once arrived it was very unorganised, you arrive in a waiting room with not enough seats, no one greets you. We went up with another couple and as they were on the right hand side of the helicopter they got the better view, would have been more fair to put one person from each couple either side of the aircraft to get the best views and pictures. My husbands headphones did not work so he didnt hear any commentary. All in all disappointing.
Response from Host , Jan 2022
When you booked your tour did you not read that departures are in NJ, we have many customers that travel by cab or train from NYC to NJ to take their tour. As for the seating, that goes by weight and balance it's for passenger/ pilot safety. There was only one other couple with you all our tours go around both sides so everyone get great views and pictures. All headset work in our helicopters.

Soaring high NYC views

Incredible city views
Rachel_T
, Dec 2021
Great team of people at the depot, they really went above and beyond to make sure it was a great experience.
We felt safe and we had THE best views of the city.
Make sure you note that this departs from New Jersey, NOT New York and to leave enough time to arrive.

This was the best part of my whole trip here! First time riding in a helicopter and loved every minute of it:) Everyone was so nice and I can’t wait to come back and go on another ride! Thank you thank you thank you so much!
Utter waste of time and money.

Terrible … you’ll have to drive out of NYC for 30mins or more and then have to wait to until eventually they get you on a helicopter. I fully regret it.
Wasn’t bad but not what I expected

Awesome

We really enjoyed the flight and the sites we were able to see. I would recommend seeing New York from the sky any day. We were able to take a lot of awesome pictures that we will be able to show our son when he gets older. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our three year old loved the flight. Just make sure you get there 45 mins before your tour starts or you will be charged. So make sure you give yourself enough time to get through NY traffic. Awesome! Awesome!

Our daughter was able to sit co-pilot. We even got an upgraded flight for a longer time. Our daughter said it was the best part of her life and was the highlight of the trip. My wife loved seeing the statue of liberty. Nick, the pilot, was a great narrator for the entire flight.
Best Birthday Ever!!!!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
