FAQs

NAC Helicopters: frequently asked questions

What are the prices?

The price of the flight depends on the number of people and the route. We have both private and sharing flights for our scenic tours around Cape Town and private flights to the destination of your choice.

What happens if there is bad weather and my flight is cancelled?

If we cancel your flight due to bad weather, we will reschedule the flight for a time that is convenient to you or refund you.

Can you fly to any destination?

We can fly anywhere provided we can acquire landing permission. Let us know where you would like to go and we will try to accommodate you as best as we can.

Where are you located?

We are located at the V&A Waterfront. Our address is East Pier Road, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.

How long is the flight?

Flight times are guidelines, as we fly the route, not the time. However, our scenic tours range from 12 to 40 minutes. The length of our destination flights depends on where you would like to travel to. Additionally, the length of the flight will depend on the weather and performance of the helicopter.

If your child is over the age of 2, then they are able to fly. In our 6-seater Bell 407 we are able to fly kids under the age of 2, but they will have to sit in the middle seat.

We do vehicle pickups from the V&A Waterfront, Sea Point, CBD and Green Point to our helipad.

The helicopter ride to see the 12 apostles is great. It’s a short 12 minutes but you get to see the table mountain and the beaches from above which was amazing. There are other longer rides, and whichever you pick is well worth it.

As someone afraid of heights, the anxiety dissipated as the ride began because I was engrossed in the beautiful sights. 10/10 must do when in Capetown.

Really was an awesome experience and special to view Cape Town from the air. Awesome service from the booking staff to the ground crew and pilot alike.

My 1st choice for any Heli experience in Cape Town. Unique tour experiences for all budgets from quick hopper flights to private vineyard combo experiences with Jeep Tours Cape Town. Lovely staff that will help you with your booking.

Absolutely phenomenal! The flight was amazing, the bubbly such a lovely touch and the ladies in the office really make the whole experience even more perfect!
