Explore the Mother City From a New Perspective
Cape Town was recently voted the "Best City in the World", the 2025 Telegraph Travel Awards. From its vibrant culture to its dramatic natural beauty, the Mother City offers an array of unforgettable experiences, especially during the summer season.
As the city comes alive with warm weather and endless activities, we invite tourists to experience Cape Town from a completely different perspective. A birds eye view of the amazing coastline and mother city, will be an unforgettable event, with Cape Town Helicopters. They have tours from under 15 minutes, through to hours, all suited to your time and interest. Best of all, these flights offer amazing views and photo opportunities, something so perfect to share with your contacts.
Our base is conveniently located at the V&A Waterfront, South Africa’s most visited destination. This prime location allows guests easy access to seamless check-in, and departures. Our location also allows for the ability to pair a helicopter experience with the Waterfront’s world-class shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings. The V&A Waterfront can be a whole day Cape Town Experience from morning through to evening, with something for everyone to enjoy.
The Cape Winelands: A Summer Escape Made Seamless
Summer in the Cape Winelands is simply breathtaking. Rolling vineyards, crisp white wines, and exceptional estate cuisine make Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl some of South Africa’s most desirable seasonal escapes. The friendliness of our local people coupled to the relaxing winelands atmosphere, will melt away stress and ensure a perfect break away.
But with holiday traffic at its peak, travelling by road can be slow and unpredictable. With our helicopter flights to the top wine estates in the Cape, guests can:
- Fly directly to the Winelands within minutes
- Avoid peak-season congestion and long travel times
- Enjoy unforgettable scenic views en route
- Seamlessly connect to exclusive estates for tastings, lunches, and stays
A journey that would normally take hours becomes an elevated, luxurious experience.
Boulders Beach & Millers Point: The Penguin Experience Re-imagined
Summer is the perfect time to visit the famous African penguins at Boulders Beach. Clear waters, warm sunshine, and active penguin colonies create a memorable highlight that many tourists have high on their bucket list.
We offer a Helicopter ride to Millers Point, a popular recreational spot near the Boulders Beach penguin colony. Expect breathtaking aerial views of False Bay and the surrounding coastline, a view that can hardly be imagined from the road. Getting our clients to the penguins by air is also much quicker, leaving you more time during your vacation to enjoy additional experiences.
Cape Point & Peninsula Scenic Flights: The Ultimate Summer Must-Do
The Cape Peninsula is at its most dramatic during the summer months. Towering cliffs, swirling ocean currents, and sweeping coastal views make this one of the world’s most iconic landscapes.
Our scenic flights around Cape Point, the Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak, and Long Beach offer travellers a perspective that simply cannot be matched from the ground. To augment your trip, we fly in one of the safest, upmarket helicopters around, with top of the range headphone sets, to make your experience even more comfortable and memorable.
