The day
A scenic flight from the Waterfront helipad over the Atlantic seaboard, Camps Bay, Hout Bay and the back of Table Mountain. Longer routes carry on to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope.
The short hop runs about twenty minutes and covers the city bowl and the Atlantic seaboard. The Cape Point route takes closer to an hour and flies the full peninsula, over Chapman's Peak and around the lighthouse at the tip, then back up the False Bay coast. Every seat is a window seat, headsets carry the pilot's commentary, and the doors-off option is available for photographers.
