Cape Town Atlantic Coast Helicopter Sightseeing Flight

Begin your helicopter tour of Cape Town with a pickup from your hotel. At the V&A Waterfront, climb into your helicopter and settle in for an exciting ride, while your pilot provides informative commentary on what you’re seeing below. As you gain altitude, one of the first things you’ll see is Cape Town’s City Bowl from above. The natural amphitheater is framed by the impressive mountains that help define the city—Table Mountain and Lion’s Head among them. Soar over Cape Town Stadium, one of the host venues for the 2010 World Cup, and then circle Table Mountain for an unforgettable view of the landmark from all sides. From this lofty vantage point, it’s easy to see the patchwork of colors that nature has made—the greens and browns of Table Mountain and Signal Hill Mountain next to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean. Fly past Lion’s Head and along the Atlantic coast, where—if it’s clear—you may even be able to see Robben Island in the distance. Look for the mountain range known as the Twelve Apostles, which runs along the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula. Spot the pretty white-sand beaches, including those at Camps Bay, Clifton Beach, and Llandudno Beach — all popular beach resort towns. Continue past Karbonkelberg Mountain before flying over Hout Bay Harbour, and then—after about 18 minutes of flying time—head back toward the helipad at the V&A Waterfront to end your exhilarating tour.
