Fly from Manhattan to Montauk by private helicopter for a seaside round of golf, lunch, and a guided tour that includes views of the historic Montauk Lighthouse. This weather-sensitive luxury day trip runs seasonally and combines aerial thrills with coastal links play.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The helicopter lifts you above Manhattan’s concrete geometry and the city shrinks into a grid of rooftops. Within an hour, the Atlantic replaces the Hudson — wind off the water already hinting at how Montauk Downs will play — and you touch down on the East End with the gulls calling and a concierge waiting.

Wildlife
History
Montauk transformed from an indigenous seasonal fishing area to a commercial fishing village and then a 20th-century resort; the Montauk Lighthouse (completed 1796) has guided mariners for over two centuries.
Conservation
Coastal dune systems and nearshore waters are sensitive to erosion and heavy foot traffic; stick to marked paths, minimize single-use plastics, and follow any local wildlife-disturbance rules.
