NAC helicopters

Of all the ways to see Cape Town’s top attractions, few are as spectacular and memorable as chartered or private helicopter tours. Take in views of the fairest Cape from marvellous heights as you fly over Cape Point, Table Mountain, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Town Stadium. Select from a number of phenomenal itineraries, ranging from the Three Bays Tour to the Atlantico Tour. Helicopter flights may change according to weather conditions, and you’ll probably want a jacket if you’re flying during the winter months (June – August). Most importantly, don’t forget your camera, you will want to capture this.
