We decided on Cape Town Helicopters because of the white modern helicopters on the billboards. When we arrived at the heliport, everything went very quickly: hardly there, we were already sitting in a very small golden helicopter that seemed to have quite a few flight years under its belt. The young, nice pilot was reassuring, and so we had a pleasant flight despite the helicopter surprise. It was also great that we received a free boat ride on top, which we could redeem two weeks later, just before our return flight.
Dear Tanja, Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your helicopter flight and that our pilot helped make the experience a positive one. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding your expectations upon arrival. We understand that the aircraft differed from what you had anticipated based on the imagery you had seen, and we value you sharing this perspective with us. As we operate a fleet of more than eight aircraft, the specific helicopter assigned to a flight is dependent on operational requirements and availability on the day. While we showcase a variety of aircraft across our marketing material, we are unfortunately unable to guarantee a specific aircraft type at the time of booking. We appreciate your understanding in this regard. It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the flight itself and that the complimentary boat cruise added further value to your Cape Town experience. We’re pleased you were able to make use of it before your journey home. Thank you for visiting Cape Town Helicopters. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Warm regards, The Cape Town Helicopters Team
The helicopter flight was an absolute highlight. In fantastic weather we were able to enjoy a 25 minute sightseeing flight and had such a very special impression of Cape Town. We did this as a private flight, which I would absolutely recommend as you have the helicopter to yourself.

We chose the ‘2 Ocean’ 25min flight. Pilot was great, the helo ride was awesome but what you’ll see is 2 parts of the Atlantic around the Cape of Good Hope. This was my wife’s first ride and the pilot was a bit aggressive but I loved it.
Dear Eric, Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Two Oceans 25-minute flight and that the helicopter ride itself was an awesome experience for you. This route offers a spectacular perspective of the Atlantic coastline around the Cape, and we’re pleased it made a strong impression. We do appreciate your feedback regarding your wife’s first flight experience. Our pilots always operate within strict safety parameters, and conditions such as wind and routing can sometimes result in a more dynamic flight than expected. That said, guest comfort is just as important to us as safety, especially for first-time flyers, and your comments are valuable in helping us continue to strike that balance. Thank you for visiting Cape Town Helicopters. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Warm regards, The Cape Town Helicopters Team

We booked a shared flight for the 25-minute Two Oceans Tour with Cape Town Helicopters and ended up getting lucky – just the two of us on board! One of us sat next to the pilot, the other had the full back row. It felt like a private tour, and the views were simply unforgettable. The team was super friendly and professional from start to finish. Everything was smooth, safe, and well organized, and the pilot made us feel relaxed while pointing out highlights along the way. Highly recommended – definitely one of the best ways to see Cape Town!

We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Warm regards, The Cape Town Helicopters Team
Did not make the total displacement, because it did not go to the good hope can and in the brochure says it will...Finally..! Misleading advertising
Dear Rui, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your expectations were not met during your recent flight with us. However, we must respectfully clarify that your review does not accurately reflect the experience we offer or advertise. Our Two Oceans Flight does not include the Cape of Good Hope — and this is clearly stated in our official brochure and website. The flight is designed to showcase both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans as you soar past Table Mountain, traverse Sun Valley, and reach the contrasting coastline of False Bay. It’s an unforgettable aerial perspective of the Cape Peninsula’s central highlights, not the southernmost point. For those specifically looking to experience Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope from the air, we offer our Full Peninsula Flight, which is a different product entirely and clearly outlined as such in our offerings. We take pride in maintaining transparency in all our communications, and we genuinely regret if there was any misunderstanding at the time of booking. Our team is always available to clarify flight routes, durations, and expectations before departure to ensure every guest selects the experience that best suits their interests. Thank you once again for flying with us. Should your travels bring you back to Cape Town, we would love the opportunity to welcome you aboard for the full Cape Point experience. Warm regards, The Cape Town Helicopters Team
Weather affected the route so it was not as interesting. Pilot was great but helicopter was an older model and very small.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the weather impacted your route and that the aircraft did not fully meet your expectations. While safety and weather considerations occasionally require adjustments, we always aim to deliver the best possible experience regardless of conditions. We are pleased to hear you found the pilot to be excellent, and we appreciate your comments as they help us improve. We hope to welcome you again under clearer skies. Warm regards, Cape Town Helicopters Team
