About this tour
Leave Manhattan behind and trade hours of traffic for a private helicopter journey to Cape Cod. This Manhattan helicopter day trip follows the Northeast coastline to a classic New England seaside escape, with round-trip charter service aboard an Airbus AS350 or AS355, depending on the option booked.
Land at Chatham, Hyannis, or Provincetown, then spend 4–5 hours exploring at your own pace. Wander historic villages, relax on pristine beaches, or seek out local favorites such as lobster rolls, oysters, and clam chowder. Your helicopter and pilot remain on standby while you enjoy the coast. The flight takes about 90 minutes each way, and the full outing lasts approximately 8 hours. On the return, take in a spectacular view of the New York City skyline before landing in Manhattan.
Make the most of a coastal escape without the long drive. Book your Manhattan helicopter day trip to Cape Cod and enjoy a day shaped around the scenery and stops you choose.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
