Full Peninsula Helicopter Tour

About this tour

The ultimate way to see the entire Cape Peninsula, the Full Peninsula scenic flight from Cape Town Helicopters is the most amazing way to spend an hour in Cape Town. This outstanding, almost magical tour invites guests to take in every sight across and around the peninsula in comfort and style at a few thousand feet in one of the only helicopters in Cape Town that has been purpose built for tourism. This pinnacle of helicopter tours flies out of the Mother City hugging the Atlantic coastline all the way down to Cape Point and the splendour of False bay. The full peninsula tour is the best way to take in the total majesty of what nature has created giving a unique bird’s eye view of the Table mountain national park seeing what was once believed to be the most southerly point of Africa from a different perspective. Experienced and passionate pilots fly close to points of interest, hovering for photo opportunities before heading back inland near the seaside town of Muizenburg. The journey ends by flying over the greener side of Table Mountain landing gently back at the V&A Waterfront with heads full of memories.

Fly the New Airbus

The Airbus makes use of a Fenestron enclosed tail rotor with unevenly spaced blades that break the frequency to allow for lower levels of noise output. Operating below 60 decibels, it is one of the few machines allowed to operate in sensitive areas. Take flight in one of the lightest, quietest helicopters to ever take to the skies in South African Tourism.

Companion - Amazing flight with great pilot November, 2018

Do it! The view over Cape Town is breath taking and the pilot Kevin was a very good tour guide! We felt very safe and had fun! Exiting way to see the coast! I will do it again if I get the chance! Worth every penny we spend!

Jerry L - Univ of Louisville Alumni trip November, 2018

My wife and I were the only ones from our 54 person group tour that chose to do the helicopter trip. Ending up with our tour operator and his wife, who had not been before, travel with us. Went for the Two ocean trip and we all wish we had done the full peninsula trip by the time we got finished. My wife, who was reluctant to go on a helicopter, was saying it was pretty cool and telling everyone back in the group what they missed. The equipment was first rate, staff informative and helpful. The pilot we had was Phillip who made the trip for us all. You rocked it Phillip. He even spotted some hippos in a preserve lake and circled for us to be sure we saw it. Ask for Phillip when you go... and you should go. Quite the experience for a first time visitor to Cape Town. Thanks Cape Town Helicopters!

Jules T - Great Time November, 2018

We had a full peninsula trip planned. Managed to bag a lift on the golf car from the Waterfront to the helipad. After a few minutes we were checked in. We were then greeted by Phillip our pilot. After donning our headsets we took to the skies for a trip to Cape Point round table mountain and back. The whole thing was great as Phillip, who is probably one of the best helicopter pilots you can fly with, made every effort to explain landmarks and points of interest. We had the helicopter to ourselves which made the trip even better. If you are in Cape Town, it’s a must do trip!

Jeff A - Generous Hospitality from the Air November, 2018

We flew with Ryan on the 50 minute full tour of Cape Town. What a wonderful experience. The views were magnificent and Our pilot Jason really enhanced the experience with his commentary and description. This seems to be a very good company. The equipment seems new and clean and all the staff we met were great.
