Scenic Flights / Helicopter Flips in Cape Town, South Africa 

South Africa is a beautiful country, offering helicopter flights allowing you to experience some of the most beautiful scenery, landscapes and sights in the world. Undoubtedly there could be few better ways in Cape Town to observe these marvels, than from high up in the sky on a Scenic Helicopter Flight . Helicopter flights and flips in Cape Town, South Africa allow you the joys of a bird’s eye-view of the beauty that the Mother City in South Africa has to offer. A scenic flight at the V&A Waterfront offers the opportunity to view a vast area in a relatively short space of time. South Africa is home to a number of locations from which helicopter flips are arranged.

Taking a helicopter flight / flip in Cape Town on the V&A Waterfront will give you a close-up view of Cape Town City Bowl, Table Mountain , the Twelve Apostles Mountain Range,Hout Bay, Chapmans Peak ,the gorgeous beaches, blue seas and the many beautiful wine farms in Stellenbosch, Franschoek, Paarl and Constantia. They allow for aerial inspection of the indigenous flora and fauna and even the shipwrecks near Llandudno. 

In season, why not plan to take an exciting helicopter flight around known whale watching (e.g. Hermanus) locations and view these graceful creatures from the sky. The helicopter flight in Cape Town over the False Bay seaboard allows you on occasion to view Great White Sharks from the helicopter , this however is not sold as part of your helicopter flight but the frequent sightings of these magnificent Great White Sharks is a welcome bonus to the helicopter flight experience.

If you prefer something a little more exciting than a relaxed aerial tour over the Cape Peninsula stretching as far as Cape Point , then why not try a 30 minute, adrenaline packed Combat Helicopter Flight / Simulated Huey Combat Mission in a Huey Helicopter along the West Coast as far as Blaauwberg / Melkbos Strand? This Cape Town based Vietnam War chopper has been wonderfully restored and now offers helicopter trips that will leave your heart racing and a grin on your face for at least a few days. After gingerly taking off from the V&A Waterfront , the impressive Huey makes its way along the west coast in the direction of  Melkbosstrand Beach, and then the fun begins with Low Level flying at high speeds. Feel the ‘G-Forces’ as the Huey builds up speed and pulls up vertically, before turning then dropping back down towards the sea. At the last minute, the experienced pilot straightens out the chopper and flies at high speed, just a few metres off the water below. After you’re taken through a few other military Huey Helicopter training manoeuvres, the Huey helicopter makes its way back to ‘helibase’, where you’re given certification for  your Huey Combat Flight adventure. Definitely a South African Cape Town based helicopter trip that is not to be missed!

South Africa is an amazing and beautiful country and Cape Town deserves to be experienced and discovered through the best way possible - a Cape Town based South African helicopter Flight /  flip!
