Hamptons Beach Picnic by Wings Air Helicopters

With the buzz of Manhattan fading beneath you, Wings Air Helicopters launches a distinct adventure destined for the shorelines of East Hampton. This 4-hour journey delivers a fusion of skyward luxury and serene beachside calm, a rare experience merging aerial thrills and refined relaxation. From the moment you board your private helicopter in Manhattan, you’re treated to breathtaking views of the iconic skyline dissolving into the verdant suburbs and eventually the sandy stretches of the Hamptons. East Hampton, located at the eastern tip of Long Island, is known for its pristine beaches along the Atlantic Coast, tidal wetlands, and characteristic shingle-style homes dating back to colonial times.

Upon arrival, a luxury sedan transfers you to an oceanside picnic waiting just for you. Here, the ocean breeze mingles with the subtle scent of fresh flowers carefully arranged to complement soft blankets and pillows. The picnic itself is anything but typical: gourmet dishes served on fine china, paired with glassware, and the attentive service of an attendant bringing a level of indulgence rarely found outside a five-star restaurant. This intimate beach setting offers a chance to soak in the natural beauty of Atlantic waves lapping the shoreline while savoring a customized menu.

After two hours, you return to East Hampton Airport and board another helicopter for the return flight. Your trip ends with a sweeping tour over Manhattan’s skyline bathed in golden light, a chance to absorb the city’s energy from a fresh vantage point. Wings Air Helicopters has carved a niche in the New York adventure scene by combining ultra-premium helicopter charters with thoughtfully curated experiences—perfect for travelers who want more than just a ride, but a memorable story to tell. The Hamptons Beach Picnic is an exceptional fusion of natural coastal charm and aerial spectacle, tailored for those seeking a seamless blend of adventure and comfort.
