Getting There

  • Ferry

    From Hoboken, head to the Hoboken Terminal located at 1 Hudson Place. Look for the NY Waterway Ferry terminal, which is usually well-signposted. Purchase a ticket to 'World Financial Center' or 'Battery Park.' Once on the ferry, enjoy the scenic ride across the Hudson River. Disembark at the World Financial Center. After exiting the ferry, you'll see a pathway leading directly to the East River Piers. Follow the signs for approximately 5-10 minutes to reach 6 E River Piers, where Manhattan Helicopters is located.

  • PATH Train

    From Hoboken, walk to the PATH station at 1 Hudson Place. Purchase a ticket for either the 'World Trade Center' or 'Chambers Street' station. Board the PATH train heading to Manhattan. If you take the train to World Trade Center, exit the station and walk east on Vesey Street towards the Hudson River. If you take the train to Chambers Street, transfer to the 1 subway line at Chambers Street to reach Rector Street and walk towards the East River. In either case, head toward the East River Piers, which is about a 15-20 minute walk from both stations.

  • Bus

    From Hoboken, catch the NJ Transit bus #126 from either Washington Street or Newark Street toward New York. Inform the driver that you want to get off at the World Financial Center.
