Let the adventure begin! Our final destination is Walker Bay in Hermanus. Once the helicopter is airborne, South Africa’s most famous landmark – Table Mountain - appears in all its glory. We will take a little bend towards Camps Bay, Landudno and Hout Bay and will proceed along the world’s most beautiful coastal road which ends in Noordhoek.

Here we will cross the bay and watch out for whales.

At the arranged time we will meet with you back at the helicopter to start our return flight.

As we travel you will notice that the landscape changes and varies greatly until we reach our starting point – Cape Town’s buzzing Waterfront. Right in front of us we will be able to see Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for many years of his life. We will also see Blouberg’s long beaches and South Africa’s largest wine-growing area in the far distance. Once the helicopter has landed, our friendly flight attendants will accompany you back to the airport terminal.
