The Hopper
This brief 'hop' gives you the best abbreviated tour. Leave from the V&A Waterfront and fly over the city bowl, the new Green Point Stadium, the famous four beaches of Clifton, the white sands of Camps Bay and the majestic Twelve Apostles before making an about turn back to Cape Town.

Atlantico
Continue on from THE HOPPER over the rugged beauty of Llandudno, the ‘Republic of Hout Bay’ and see a magnificent view of Seal Island.

Three Bays
This spectacular flight continues on from the ATLANTICO via the impressive Chapman’s Peak and the lagoon-laced stretches of the pristine 6km-long Noordhoek beach. It then turns inland to fly over Sun Valley, before reaching the False Bay coastline and the fishing villages of Fish Hoek and Kalk Bay...

The Point
The ultimate tour of the Cape Peninsula detours from the THREE BAYS route and continues south via Noordehoek on to Kommetjie and the wild beauty of the remote Scarborough region. From there we fly over the indigenous flora and fauna of the Cape Point Nature Reserve to the spectacular cliffs of Cape Point...

We are required by the South African Civil Aviation Authority to complete a Mass & Balance for each and every flight as each helicopter can only carry a certain amount of weight of which this needs to be distributed evenly around the helicopter. On arrival at NAC Makana, each passenger will be weighed. The reading of the scale is hidden and kept confidential unless asked for by the client.

Please be advised of the following limitations for each of our helicopters on the Standard Tours. Weight limitations for Charter Flights will vary and can be acquired from NAC Makana staff. The total passenger weight limitation listed next to each helicopter would be the combined weight of the group flying in the helicopter.
