Helicopter tours in Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town's Table Mountain, the harbour, and the coastline look completely different from above, especially when the mountain's famous "tablecloth" cloud is rolling over the top.
When's the best time to fly?
Summer (November to March) is the driest, clearest season for flying. Cape Town is well known for its wind (locally called the "Cape Doctor"), which picks up in the afternoons, so a morning flight is generally the calmer option.
What should I bring?
A windbreaker, since Cape Town's wind is famous for a reason.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Cape Town have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
