New York - Helicopter Tours/Cruises

Shred

Evening all,

I'm heading to NY in three weeks time with my girlfriend and (upon the recommendation of one or two people) we have been checking out the Helicopter tours and the evening cruises through NY harbour. We intend to book these before we leave to ensure we don't miss out.

This is the Helicopter tour we were looking at (it's the first one):

This is the cruise:

What I wanted to know is; has anyone gone on either of these or can they recommend a different one? Or did you, in your opinion, think they weren't worth the hassle/money?

Thanks.

Both of those are grand.

The helicopter tour is worth doing once,but the 15 minutes will pass quickly.
For about $150 dollars by the way you can get a helicopter transfer from JFK to manhattan too.
It gets you there in 8 minutes!

Do a search for New York on this board and you will find loads of other threads.
