The perfect combination of nature, adventure and luxury, this experience begins with a private helicopter flight from Manhattan directly to The Equinox, a Luxury Collection Golf Resort & Spa in Manchester, Vermont, where helicopters conveniently land on site. Start your escape with a round of 9-hole golf while enjoying crisp mountain air and spectacular views of Vermont’s Green Mountains. (Lessons and equipment rentals are available for beginners.) After a scrumptious lunch overlooking the green, head over to the Land Rover Experience Driving School to polish your off-road driving skills on rocky terrain or to the legendary Orvis School to learn the craft of fly fishing (from April to October). Prices include 2 hours of golf, 2 hours of driving experience, and half-day fly fishing school (subject to availability). The experience is concluded with a smooth helicopter flight back to Manhattan at sunset or the following day.

Q&A

Q: How do the weather conditions affect the helicopter flight? Can it be canceled due to rain?

A: Yes, the helicopter flights can be affected by weather conditions. If it's raining heavily or there's significant wind, they might reschedule the flight to ensure safety. It's always best to check the forecast a few days before your trip. Wings Air usually contacts you if there are any changes due to weather.

Q: Is this experience suitable for kids? What’s the minimum age for the golf and driving school?

A: The golf course is pretty family-friendly and they allow kids to play, especially with lessons available. For the Land Rover driving school, they usually require participants to be at least 16 years old to drive, but younger kids can ride along. Always check with the provider for any age restrictions when booking.

Q: What should we wear for the helicopter ride and activities? Any recommendations?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly in the air, even in summer. For golf, just standard golf attire works, and for off-roading, wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Good shoes are a must for both the golf and driving experiences. Don't forget sunglasses too!

Just did the helicopter adventure from NYC to Vermont and WOW!

I just got back from the New York to Vermont full-day adventure with a private helicopter. It was so surreal flying over the Hudson and then landing right at The Equinox! The golf was super fun, and the views of the Green Mountains were breathtaking. We opted for the Land Rover experience afterward, and I can't believe how much I improved! Just a heads up, make sure to check the weather because we almost got delayed. Totally recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves adventure!

Thinking of gifting the helicopter trip! Need your thoughts!

I’m considering this helicopter trip to Vermont for my boyfriend's birthday. He's super into outdoor activities and I think he’d love the golf and driving school. But I'm a bit worried about the price and whether it's worth it. Has anyone here done it? What was the best part for you?
