Booking notes
For weight and balance calculations we require every passenger to be weighed before the flight. Please advise us in advance should one of the passengers weigh in excess of 100 Kilograms.
The above rates are per person, sharing a helicopter tour. Tours can be booked for either of two departure times. You may be matched up with others to fill the helicopter. Seating positions are not guaranteed and will be allocated to evenly balance the helicopter.
You may fly in any of our three different types of helicopters, depending on how many other passengers we find to fly with you. A minimum of two passengers is required in order to commence the flight. If you are a single person we will try our best to find at least one other to join you, however if we can’t find one extra person the tour will have to be postponed for another departure time or date.
This brief 'hopper' gives you the best abbreviated tour. Leave from the V&A Waterfront and fly over the city bowl, the Cape Town Stadium in Green Point, the famous four beaches of Clifton, the white sands of Camps Bay and the majestic Twelve Apostles before making an about turn back to Cape Town.
The flights leave from the East Pier at the V&A Waterfront.
