The best start to our great adventure in Capetown, So. Africa

What a great way to get introduced to Cape town. The bird eye view of the city, mountains, islands, and dolphins helped us identify other attractions or experiences that helped make our vacation a blast. Thank you for an awesome experience.

Incredible Views of Cape Town From Above

Very smooth, pleasant, astonishingly beautiful flight across the shore of Cape Town. Beautiful view of the mountains, sea and Robbeneiland. You don’t want the flight to end, so if you’re here, I’d recommend taking a longer one. Communication lines are open, which is a cool addition.

Operator response

It’s wonderful to know the views of the mountains, the sea, and Robben Island made such a lasting impression and we couldn’t agree more that choosing a longer flight is the best way to truly soak it all in. We’re also pleased you enjoyed the open communication during the flight, as it adds an extra layer to the overall experience. Thank you for visiting Cape Town Helicopters. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Warm regards, The Cape Town Helicopters Team
