What To Expect

Head for the V&A Waterfront in central Cape Town to climb aboard a private helicopter tour at the V&A’s own helipad. As the flight begins, take in the expanding view of the city around you.

Fly along the Atlantic coastline, flanked by the Twelve Apostles mountains. Soar around Karbonkelberg Mountain and watch the terrain below you change from beaches to rocks and hidden bays as you head for the Cape Point Nature Reserve. The hills are covered with abundant plants and wildlife, and then at the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point those hills give way to rugged and rocky cliffs. Pass over the Cape Point lighthhouse and see how the ocean waves batter the rocks below.

From there, begin heading back up the peninsula toward Simon’s Town, an historic South African naval base. Nearby is Boulders Beach, with its resident colony of African penguins — keep your eye out for them as you fly overhead. Continue to the seaside resort communities of Muizenberg and Fish Hoek, and the dramatic scenery of False Bay.

Make your way back to Cape Town on the other side of the mountains for a different view than you had at the start of the trip. Pass over Constantia vineyards before alighting once again at the V&A Waterfront helipad.

My wife requested that we do this trip and although I am quite scared of heights I thoroughly enjoyed the flight. We flew around the back of Table Mountain to Cape Point and then back to Cape Town enjoying the view of some of the most wonderful coastline in the World. This was truly a wonderful experience and I am so glad we got to enjoy it.

Spectacular tour of Cape Town & Cape of Good Hope from above

Randy_N, Jan 2024

It’s the most expensive helicopter tour they have but totally worth it. Lasts almost an hour and you get to see all of Cape Town, the peninsula and Cape of Good Hope from above. Also be sure to ask for the 1 hour catamaran tour of Cape Town by sea which is included in the price of the helicopter tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you for this awesome review, we are delighted that you enjoyed a spectacular experience with Cape Town Helicopters part of the Explore Collection.

Extraordinary!

Lana_H, Sep 2023

The pilot was awesome and especially with my very inquisitive and brilliant (of course) grandson who was lucky enough to sit between the pilot and myself. At no time did we feel any turbulence and they were excellent about rescheduling after our first date was rained out. PLUS they gave us vouchers for a sunset sail for that evening which was fantastic. We are boaters from Florida, but none of us sail so it was unique for us! One of the highlights of our time in Cape Town:)

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for this fantastic review and we are delighted that you enjoyed the experience with Cape Town Helicopters. Come visit us again soon!

Fantastic helicopter experience

Graham_J, Sep 2023

A fantastic way to see Cape Town and the area from the air. Meghan our pilot was excellent and clearly loved her job and explaining about the area we flew over. Cape Town Helicopters and its staff were friendly and welcoming from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re in Cape Town

Roderick_R, Apr 2023

Best way to see Cape Point! In town for a conference and had just enough time for a heli tour to see the area - highly recommend this!

Response from Host, May 2023

Jessica_L, Jan 2020

We had the best ever flight experience with Cape Town Helicopters on New Year's Eve 31 Dec 2019. Best way to see scenic Cape Town. Thank you Captain Mike for the commentaries and the gorgeous 360 views! A must do when in Cape Town!

Rosanade C, Apr 2016

The helicopter tour was Awesome!! The pilot and staff were courteous and attentive. The pilot gave detailed information about the view. This tour should one of the first stops of vacationers to the city.

We really enjoyed the flight - it...

Godfrey R, Nov 2014

We really enjoyed the flight - it really was disappointing that the weather wasn't great but our pilot was fantastic. Because of the high wind we couldn't do the full peninsula.

The weather was not very good, it...

Margarida R, Mar 2014

The weather was not very good, it was windy and cloudy, and we didn't see what it was supposed to.

After a couple days of overcast...

Randy U, Jan 2014

After a couple days of overcast skies and rain, we finally got a clear and sunny day for our helicopter flight. The 45 minute scenic flight was fantastic. I got the tour for Colleen as a Christmas present to enjoy at the end of our 30 day cruise. Cape Town and area are beautiful and lively. The flight was well organized and operated by Cape Town Helicopters. We took off on time and did a circle of the cape area. The pilot was informative and friendly. We took lots of pictures and felt that the longer flight was good value for a special day in Cape Town.

Ein unbedingtes muss,...

Birgit_P, Dec 2022

Ein unbedingtes muss, wenn man in Kapstadt ist. Es war unvergesslich und traumhaft schön 🥰 🚁 das werden wir nie vergessen. Und tatsächlich noch Wale 🐳 gesehen, toller Pilot 👨‍✈️

Super Aktion

Andrea_B, Feb 2020
