Very well organized. Pickup was smooth, service was great, and pilot was very capable and kind. Great way to see this beautiful city!
We wanted to love this trip, but left feeling like it was a waste of money. Our pilot made no attempt to engage with us and provided bare minimum information. I left feeling like I was an imposition for him rather than someone he wanted to show Cape Town to and showed no passion for what he was doing. The itinerary on line gave us more information than he did. Perhaps another pilot would have made the trip worthwhile.

It was an amazing experience, but my tour was supposed to last about 20 minutes and ended up being shorter. I would recommend getting the short-time tour instead of paying way more for what ends up being almost 3-4 minutes longer.

We arrived in Cape Town by ship and were unable to enter the port due to strong winds. After several hours we contacted the provider and asked for a later start date, because we could not make the planned date. The answer came super fast and we were able to move the appointment by 4 hours absolutely without any problems. (Thank you very much again for this!!!) The hotel pick-up also worked great. The whole crew is super friendly and competent and looked after us very warmly before the start. Finally we were able to take off in the best weather and had a whole helicopter for us. The pilot was also very friendly and relaxed. On the sightseeing flight we could see everything wonderfully from all places and had a great time. After returning we were able to take pictures with helicopter and pilot and were then driven back again. All in all a unique experience!! Thank you very much!!!

We’re also pleased that the hotel collection worked smoothly and that our team made you feel warmly welcomed and well cared for before take-off. It’s fantastic to hear that the weather cleared, allowing you to enjoy the flight as planned — and even more special that your group had the helicopter to yourselves. We’re glad your pilot made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable, and that you were able to take in the views comfortably from every seat. Ending the experience with photos and a seamless return transfer is exactly how we aim to complete every journey. Thank you for visiting Cape Town Helicopters.
