Cape Town is home to various stretches of natural beauty, hidden nooks of wonder and epic landmarks, all of which bring a unique flavor to our world-renowned city – and the glistening Atlantic Seaboard is one such region. Often referred to as Cape Town’s “Riviera”, it encompasses the area starting at the V&A Waterfront and travelling all along the Cape Peninsula to Hout Bay. In this helicopter tour of Cape Town, follow Victoria Road as it takes you along the picturesque coastline, the sparkling Atlantic Ocean on the one side, with the changing mountainous slopes for which Cape Town has become so famous on the other. If cycling, driving or walking this stretch is sure to take your breath away, just imagine what it will be like to witness this splendor from the sky?

We booked the Cape Point Tour to get some amazing views of this beautiful area! With Dain our Captain on this day we were so happy since he not only was a great guide along the way with lots of historical details, he also gave us a lot of technical background about the helicopter and what it is like operating it around in this area. Air was absolutely smooth during our ride and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We can highly recommend the tour all the way down to Cape Point and also want to mention the great team at NAC helicopters. From desk to security instructions over the pilots until the lift to waterfront afterwards, we just encountered great great people! Many thanks, hope to see you again soon!
