Awesome helicopter ride! - Absolutely incredible experience! The helicopter ride around Cape Town was a great way to start my trip. The views were stunning, from Table Mountain to the waterfront. Ryan, the pilot was knowledgeable and made us feel completely safe. This is a must-do ride for anyone visiting Cape Town. Highly recommend! Shout out to Mo and Nat in the office, and Ryan our pilot. Great people and great time!

Great experience! - We actually wanted to book for the next day and got a last-minute offer for immediately. The daylight was perfect and so we said yes. As it was the last sightseeing flight of the day, we got the helicopter for four people as well as three. There was no surcharge! We drove to the base in a golf cart, got on the scales, had a quick cigarette and then we were sitting in the helicopter. We were so excited that we didn't feel anything from the start and were simply overwhelmed by the spectacular view. Seeing Cape Town, the Waterfront, the stadium, Table Mountain, Lionshead, the twelve apostles and the beautiful beaches from above was just fantastic. Everyone who is in Cape Town should do this tour at least once. Thank you for this wonderful trip.

Good not great - The whole experience could have been the best thing ever, but unfortunately the service wasn’t the best. For me the pilot and the rest of the staff couldn’t have been more communicative and sympathetic. Hopefully they treat the other customers better.

Read this first before booking - Our experience with the helicopter tour was a mix of awe and disappointment. First and foremost, avoid buying the "deal" from Viator; it's cheaper when you book directly. The views were incredible, and we saw a lot from above, but we are giving it only 2 out of 5 stars for several reasons: - We deducted one star because they did not offer any champagne, even though the title clearly stated that champagne was included. - Another two stars were deducted because we wanted to upgrade our flight from "The Hopper" route, which is 12 minutes, to the "Camps Bay and Hout Bay" route, which is 16 minutes. The upgrade cost us an additional €233, despite already having paid €110 per person for the initial flight through here. Had we known beforehand, we would have booked directly through their website, where the 16-minute route costs €158 per person and includes a 30-minute harbor boat cruise. This means we paid a total of €453 for two people, without the champagne and without the boat cruise, whereas the website price is €316 for two people with the boat cruise included. We find this discrepancy unacceptable and feel it was a rip-off, which is why we are giving only 2 stars despite the beautiful views.
