Important information

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!
