Fly from Manhattan to Vermont for seasonal outdoor adventures, lunch, and a scenic helicopter return over the New York City skyline.

About this tour

Trade Manhattan’s skyline for the Green Mountains on a New York full-day helicopter adventure to Manchester, Vermont. A private Airbus charter carries you to a day shaped by the season, with mountain scenery unfolding along the way.

In summer, choose a 9-hole golf round with views of Mount Equinox, followed by lunch overlooking the course. You can also select the Land Rover Experience Driving School or fly fishing at the Orvis School. In winter, opt for expert-led off-road driving on icy terrain or a private guided snowmobile tour through the backcountry, with lunch at The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa. Activities depend on the option booked.

After roughly eight hours, return to Manhattan by helicopter. The journey includes about 90 minutes of flight each way, and the return flight features a scenic New York City skyline tour. This New York full-day helicopter adventure pairs a private flight with a choice of outdoor experiences and a relaxed lunch stop. Choose the seasonal activity that suits you and set out for a memorable day in Vermont.

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.
