    Slick, professional and a great way to see the city. We loved every moment of the helicopter and the boat trip that was included was fantastic too. From start to finish, everything by was well organised, communication great and the experience has made our Cape Town visit. Would definitely recommend.

    Worth the ride

    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.

    Response from the operator: 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

    Incredible Experience – Even Better Than Expected

    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!

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest , Thank you for your review. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Two Oceans Tour and that it felt like a private experience — what a wonderful surprise to have the helicopter all to yourselves. It’s great to know our team made you feel comfortable and that the flight was smooth, safe, and memorable from start to finish. 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

    Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cape Town.

    How much does Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 3,800 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cape Town is not rushed.

    Is Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 348 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise?

    +

    Around 122 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cape Town can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 0.4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cape Town within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cape Town?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cape Town?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cape Town?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise?

    +

    Included: Hotel Pick-Up; Flight; and Live commentary on board. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 58 listed pickup locations in and around Cape Town. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible; and Infants from 3 months to 1 year are permitted on board the helicopter. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Cape Town: 25min Helicopter Flight with Complimentary Boat Cruise if the weather is bad?

    +
