Cape Town Helicopters

Cape Town Helicopters runs scenic helicopter flights from the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa. The company says it has more than 20 years of experience. Its flights lift off from the waterfront into the skies above Cape Town. The company offers scenic flights, winelands trips and private experiences.

The company flies Airbus helicopters. The website says it is the only operator at the V&A Waterfront with an Airbus fleet. Its cabins have wrap-around glass and raised, forward-facing seats. Guests have panoramic views from every seat. The company says its helicopters run below 60 decibels and carry ADS-B in and out for tracking nearby aircraft.

Scenic flights from the waterfront include City Hopper, a ride above the Atlantic Seaboard beaches. The 12 Apostles flight shows Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostles overlooking Camps Bay. Atlantico follows the Atlantic coastline past Cape Town Stadium, Clifton Beach and Camps Bay. Robben Island flights give views of the Robben Island nature conservation area and the World Heritage site. The Two Oceans flight runs from the waterfront along the north shore of Table Mountain to Hout Bay. The Full Peninsula flight goes from Cape Town to the Cape of Good Hope.

Winelands flights take about three hours and include lunch. Estates on the list include Jordan, Hartenberg, Klein Goederust, Muratie, Cavalli, Brookdale, Waterford and Creation. Hartenberg is a family vineyard with a history dating back to 1692. The estates lie in the Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek and Walker Bay wine regions.

Experiences go beyond flights. A full day whale watching trip flies past Hermanus and Gansbaai to Cape Agulhas, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. A private Robben Island landing includes a guided experience. The Fynbos Mountain Gourmet Picnic flies around Cape Point, then to hills above Misty Cliffs for a picnic.
