About this tour

See New York City turn to gold on a private sunset helicopter flight, with Manhattan’s towers catching the last light above the Hudson River. From the air, the city’s familiar landmarks take on a new scale, and the changing sky sets the scene for a memorable outing.

Your 40-minute New York City Private Sunset Helicopter Tour takes in views of the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the Chrysler Building. Look along the Hudson River and Manhattan’s West Side, then toward the United Nations, the East River bridges, and the cityscape of Midtown and Lower Manhattan. As dusk settles, watch the skyline begin to sparkle. Floor-to-ceiling windows and live pilot narration help you take in the views, while the climate-controlled cabin keeps the ride comfortable. Champagne, handmade New York chocolates, and a bespoke bouquet of roses add a thoughtful touch for couples and special occasions.

The New York City Private Sunset Helicopter Tour departs from Linden, New Jersey. A complimentary shuttle from Linden train station is available by advance request. Bring a camera, phone, and sunglasses, and leave other belongings in the complimentary lockers. Book your flight to experience Manhattan from a striking new perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 2.50 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
