See Central Park’s movie sites, monuments, fountains, and skyline views by private pedicab, with photo stops and a local guide.

“We hired two pedicabs for four people. Johnny and Amir worked seamlessly together to keep our rides together so we all could hear the running commentary. Johnny was very fun and funny in his commentary, as well as VERY informative. We all loved seeing Central Park this way. Due to time, we only did a 1-hour tour but saw a lot! I would recommend a 2-hour tour to see more of the sites especially given how fun the drivers are! Go for it!”

We did the open-door private helicopter tour, and it was absolutely unbelievable — hands down our favorite part of our trip to Kauai. This was actually our third helicopter experience, and it was by far the best one yet. Our pilot was amazing — so knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we felt completely comfortable the entire time. The views were breathtaking from start to finish, and the whole experience was beyond anything we could have imagined. If you’re visiting Kauai, this tour is an absolute must!”
