    You have to do one of these! Highly recommend the island tour. It's about $150-$200 per person for 20-30 minutes but it's SO much fun. They play Reggae and island music through the microphone and headphones so you really have a full 100% immersed experience. Pilot was nice and knowledgeable and will engage and educate you as much as you want based on question and history of Newport. Make a reservation.

    It was a fun ride! The employees are all welcoming and friendly, and made the experience easy and enjoyable. The views of the city from that height are amazing to see and it was an exciting trip. For an extra charge you can get a recording of your trip so you can show others or just reminisce. The good and bad of the flight is that it's short, so on the one hand you'll wish you had more time but it's not something time intensive which means it can fit nicely into any schedule. I'd definitely recommend checking in with them for a flight!

    We fly high, no lie and you know this! This was such an amazing experience! I took my friend here for her birthday and she loved it as well. We did the mansion tour so we got to see the mansions of Newport. The reason why I am giving this place 4 star is that I wish the ride was longer! It was probably for a good 10-12 minutes, but it's worth it if you purchase the groupon deal.

    Your chariot awaits

    My parents and I purchased a Groupon to enjoy the Mansion tour on a brisk spring day. Jeff, the pilot, is fantastic and you will feel comfortable with him and learn a lot over your quick tour. He runs this company, where he provides these sorts of tours, as well as also owning an aerial photography business which is pretty cool/interesting. The Mansion tour is the shortest (12 minutes) but still a great experience and you'll see lots of awesome Newport attractions...the bridge, the mansions, fort adams, ocean drive, downtown, etc. You'll have your own headset where Jeff will point out attractions, and you can also talk to your other thrill seekers through the headset. Be sure to bring your camera as the pictures you'll get are incredible! Tip: -You can purchase a DVD (about $25) as an add-on to your trip. We did not do this but many others did and were happy with their purchase! -This is NOT a scary experience at all so if you are concerned about a fear of heights, etc, do not be! Perhaps choose to sit in the back seat (one guest sits up front with Jeff and the other two sit in the rear) as you'll be able to enjoy the views but not as easily see the straight down view from the front. -Get there a little early to watch the folks that sky dive at the same property (they have picnic tables outside you can hang out at until the woman picks you up to drive you over to the helicopter in a golf cart!) -Great gift idea for any friend/family who loves Newport/RI!

    Went on a helicopter tour in the last week of September 2018. Great day we chose as it was clear and sunny for a nice sunset. Don't remember what I paid for 2 people. Some where around $300-200 for 15-20 min ride. Would do it again.

    Great experience. 2nd time in a helicopter and everyone was very nice. Pilot Jeff even allowed us to take photos with him. Time flies (no pun intended) when you're 800 feet in the air. Would definitely come back another time. I noticed there were private planes & people preparing/setting up to sky dive so if youre also looking for a place that can provide those services, they do!

    Cool bridge shot

    Great kickoff to my husband's birthday today! It was fantastic and breathtaking. Would definitely recommend for anyone. We will fly again with them for sure!

    I went today for my birthday and my pilot name was Forrest. This has been on my bucket list for a while so I was more excited than nervous. Checking was a breeze, so professional and nice. My pilot was awesome and it was one of the best experience of my life. So beautiful and smooth. The whole experience was unbelievable. Can't wait to do it again

    Bobby A.

    Was an awesome tour of the mansions. Crew was very nice and the price wasn't bad. My wife and I will definitely be back for a longer tour next time! The tour is quick, but it's worth doing.

    Kristin L.

    Perfect! Smooth Surprise Valentines Day Tour of Newport. Awesome way to see the island and the mansions - it was a winter wonderland!

    Karen B.

    Such a breathtaking experience!! The helicopter is immaculately clean and their selection of music puts you at ease. The husband and wife duo are genuinely nice and the sights from above are picturesque. Worth every penny!

I started visiting the 40 steps. There were a lot of people crowding the steps and taking photos. I enjoyed this part of the walk and would repeat again in the future if I came with friends. To get to the next session of the walk there is a detour that brings you by the next block and to the next entrance. I found the next section to be the smoothest walk and very scenic. After that, you see signs that there is some rugged terrain. You also get signs that you pass at your own risk and a reminder that you are passing through private properties. I highly suggest you wear proper footwear as there are some rocky sessions and uneven ways. If it is hot, you may want to bring water and wear sunscreen. Also check the map as there are sessions where it is clearly marked that the closest exit is some distance away. Still worth the walk as you get magnificent views and glimpses the back of some mansions/houses along the way. I exited at the Ledge Road exit.

The weather was a lot better now than in April. We stopped at the scenic waterfront Bayside Station where we were able to use our 2 tickets for alcoholic drinks like Mimosas, Bellinis, and Bloody Marys. Death Wish Coffee and juice were complimentary. There were also complimentary muffins, danishes, and other pastries and fruit. Adirondack chairs were placed facing the water to enjoy the views. The 6 mile roundtrip tour is always an unforgettable experience. The staff are always very friendly and offer to take pictures to capture the memories. A brief instructional talk is always provided at the beginning and now they have a microphone so everyone can hear. Safety is of utmost importance.

    The Preservation Society of Newport County is a non-profit organization based in Newport, Rhode…read moreIsland and its top priority is the preservation and conservation of its historic houses and their collections. This work includes restoration of roofs and windows, conservation of fragile textiles, cleaning and restoration of valuable paintings and much more. At any given time, dozens of projects are underway. A visit to the Newport Mansions is a donation to The Preservation Society of Newport County. During the holiday season, The Breakers, Marble House, and The Elms welcome visitors with spectacular holiday displays so it was a great opportunity to visit. In addition to the house holiday display, there is an outdoor holiday display called Sparkling Lights at The Breakers from November 22 to December 29, 2024 on select evenings. Admission is only at 4 pm, 4:30 pm, 5 pm, 5:30 pm and 6 pm. Gates close at 6:30 pm and the house and grounds close at 8 pm. Timed admissions tickets can be purchased online at https://www.newportmansions.org/. Tickets include access to the lavishly decorated rooms inside the house during the same visit. About a week prior, I bought 2 tickets for December 20, 2024 at 6:00PM ($40.00 each) and I was really looking forward to it. However, there was a winter advisory and it was snowing on the day of. Driving conditions were unsafe. I was worried I was going to lose my money since the website indicated tickets may not be resold, non-transferrable, non-refundable, and cannot be used for a different date. I tried calling the Preservation Society of Newport County, but there were just prompts and I couldn't talk to a live person. I sent a direct message to @newport.mansions through Instagram and they responded promptly that I could receive a refund by emailing info@newportmansions.org. Gary Ruff, Associate Communications Manager, responded and instructed me with what information he needed to provide the refund. I was so appreciative. Thankfully, the snow cleared and temperature warmed up a bit so I bought 2 tickets for December 29, 2024 at 4:00PM ($40.00 each). All the decorated Christmas trees, the 15-foot-tall poinsettia tree, poinsettias, garlands, wreaths and fresh floral in the interior of The Breakers were beautiful and then walking through the lights and illuminated displays of the outdoor 13-acre landscape was just a cherry on the top. The Preservation Society of Newport County also partnered with Stoneacre Brasserie to offer holiday treats and adult beverages. Thank you to The Preservation Society of Newport County for everything you are doing to protect, preserve, and present an exceptional collection of house museums and landscapes.

    The family (wife, 10 y/o son, 2 y/o daughter) were visiting Newport and looking fo some activities…read moreto do. I noticed that the Newport mansions were on every to-do list, with the Breakers being the top choice of many. I looked at their website as well as other reviews and saw that this may not be the best place for younger ones. I saw that no strollers were allowed and I didn't think a tour of an old mansion is something my 10 y/o would be interested in. So I decided to take a solo trip on a nice Friday morning while the rest of the family slept in late at the hotel. The Breakers opens at 10 AM. The visitors parking lot is on the corner of Ochre Point Avenue and Victoria Avenue. There are other lots nearby but read the signs as they are for other buildings...The parking lot had adequate space when I arrived at 10:15 or so, but by the time I was leaving at about 11:45 is was pretty packed with visitors having to park in the rear overflow lot. Once you reach the front gate of the Breakers mansion, there are COVID restriction and general rule signs. As you proceed you can go to the left to buy tickets, use the bathroom or enter their cafe. Tickets are about $26 for adults and $8 for children 6-17 years old. The cafe has a bunch of premade food items, drinks, snacks, premade sandwiches... and few seats with tables. There are some more seats and table just outside of the cafe. Before you enter the mansion, there are signs showing you how to use their self tour audio app. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THIS...AND BRING HEADPHONES. You download the Newport Mansions app from the App Store onto your Apple or Google device, select the mansion you are visiting and begin the tour. The audio tour was excellent and follows you through the tour route of the mansion. I enjoyed listening to all the interesting facts about each room via bluetooth earbuds while my hands were free to take photos with my camera. You only thing you will need to do is to advance (click the play button) the tour to the next room before entering. There are some interesting facts about the mansion as a whole and each individual room. You can also stay around longer in each area for additional facts, essentially lengthening the tour. Without the audio tour, you will have to fread the printed information sheet. You go through the main floor, upper floor and back down into the service area where the kitchen is. You then exit through the gift shop. The gift shop has lots of interesting items, which includes typical magnets, mugs and prints, but they also have some luxury items like platters and wine stoppers as well as a small jewelry section. You finally exit out onto the side of the mansion and are able to walk back around outside to the front where you entered. Before sure to walk through the opened gate to the right of the mansion which takes you through a small garden to the back. Here you can see the Cliff Walk path and the ocean. Overall, I had a great time...It was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. The entire tour took just over an hour without listening to the extra information about each room. (During the tour, there are a few instances where you have to ascend/descend steps - I did NOT see any elevators - so you may want to call ahead to check if you cannot climb steps) Again, I highly recommend downloading the app and listening to the audio tour via headphones. It allows your eyes to focus on the beauty of the mansion instead of reading. Lastly, the mansion is right off of the Cliff Walk path...so be sure to make the short ride (or walk) north to Narragansett Avenue and visit the Forty Steps.
