Cape Town Helicopter Tours

We have combed the city and found a few helicopter tour companies in Cape Town to take you for a ride.

Helicopter rides will give you the views that only the local seagulls get right before they swoop down and hassle you for some food. But like the seagulls, taking flight in high winds make for a bumpy ride so all tours are weather dependent. Cape Town’s weather is famous for having four seasons in a day, so keep an eye on the weather app before your flight.

These range from a quick hopper flight viewing the city to a longer tour of the entire peninsula, culminating with experiences one can only have by helicopter. You can approach Cape Town from the mountain range or fly out and above Robben island to witness the city and what it has to offer in all of its magnificence.
