    A must in Cape Town
    A must in Cape Town. We were there with our tour guide, who got a discounted price. 12min for 115€. There are different routes and accordingly the time. We were in a helicopter with a capacity for 6 guests. Very comfortable and has to be experienced to be believed. One of the best views ever. Definitely worth it! Staff very nice, short introduction via video, and then we get started.

    Great way to see Cape Town from the air
    We went on a helicopter ride after we visited Table Mountain. We had seen Cape Town from a distance. This was an opportunity - from the air. We were in a 7-Seater. The pilot was fantastic, explaining places in Cape Town.

    Thank you, NAC crew, for a great experience!!
    We ended up at NAC helicopters for a fantastic flight around Cape Town with blue skies, after our reserved flight at competitor Cape Town helicopters was cancelled without informing us due to a lack of helicopters (bizarre). We should have spoken with NAC directly at first. NAC gave us a very warm welcome, a professional and kind pilot and tour guide and last but not least, great photos and videos were taken of our family after we landed. Thank you, NAC crew, for a great experience!!

    Worth the experience
    The helicopter ride experience is one of the recreational activities in Cape Town. It is located in the Victoria Mall and offers two types of long and short trips. Honestly, it is worth the experience because you will see Cape Town from above, and the view is amazing.
