Helicopter ride in Cape Town

I would say if you are planning for Cape Town holidays and if you don’t experience this beautiful & scenic helicopter ride over the city then your tour is incomplete. I have taken helicopter ride for twenty minutes which flew over Cape Town city & I would say the whole experience was breath taking. 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.
