Real experiences from real travelers
The 'Two Oceans' flight was worth every cent. Seeing Table Mountain from that angle is something I will never forget. Booking through this platform was simple and the instructions were clear.
Our pilot was fantastic and pointed out things we never would have seen from the ground, like the shipwrecks along the coast. Highly recommend the sunset slot!
We had to reschedule by one day due to high winds, but the operator was very communicative. The flight itself was smooth and the views of Clifton were incredible.
If you're a photographer, this is a must. The views of the stadium and the coastline are unparalleled. The 20-minute flight felt like the perfect amount of time.
I was worried about the weight limits but the staff at the Waterfront were very professional and discreet. The flight was the highlight of our Cape Town stay.
We took the private wine transfer to Stellenbosch. It was truly a VIP experience from start to finish. The landing at the vineyard was so dramatic!
I've done heli-tours in Hawaii and NYC, but Cape Town's topography is uniquely suited for this. You get mountains and ocean in one frame.
Seeing the penguins at Boulders Beach from the air during our Peninsula tour was a surprise highlight. The water was so clear we could see the kelp forests.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Tours range from a quick 12-minute 'City Hopper' to 60-minute 'Full Peninsula' flights. Some specialized combo tours with wine tastings can last up to 10 hours including ground time.
Almost all scenic helicopter tours depart from the dedicated helipads located at the V&A Waterfront, near the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre.
Yes, most helicopters have a per-seat limit (often around 100kg-120kg) and a total aircraft weight limit. You will be asked for your weight during booking for safety and balance.
Safety is the priority. If winds are too high or visibility is poor, the flight will be rescheduled at no extra cost, or you will receive a full refund if you cannot make the new time.
Yes, children are usually welcome. Infants under 2 years old may need to sit on an adult's lap (check specific operator policy), while children over 2 typically require their own seat at the standard rate.
Wear comfortable clothing and a light jacket, as it can be slightly cooler in the air. We recommend dark-colored tops to reduce reflections on the windows for better photography.
Both options are available. Standard tours are usually shared (up to 3 or 6 passengers), but you can choose to book a private flight for a more exclusive experience.
Absolutely! We encourage you to bring cameras and phones. However, for safety, selfie sticks and large professional equipment may have restrictions.
Yes, especially during peak season (December to February). Booking 1-2 weeks in advance ensures you get your preferred time slot, particularly for popular sunset flights.
