Cape Town Helicopter Tour: Indian and Atlantic Oceans

Cape Town, South Africa

See two oceans in one helicopter trip on a scenic flight from Cape Town! On a route around beautiful Table Mountain, glide along the Atlantic coastline and cross the Cape Peninsula to reach the waters of the Indian Ocean. See contrasting landscapes around the different stretches of coast, from the craggy peaks of Signal Hill to the sandy shores and lavish houses at Camps Bay.

Leave the V&A Waterfront helipad and start your 360-degree circuit of Table Mountain, easily Cape Town’s most iconic sight, and then soar above Cape Town Stadium, home of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Follow the Atlantic coastline, passing Signal Hill before flying over impressive houses at Camps Bay and Clifton Beach. Then pass the imposing Twelve Apostles mountain range as you glide through the skies to Karbonkelberg Mountain.

While listening to fascinating commentary from your pilot, fly over historic Hout Bay with its busy harbor and beach, and then cross over the Cape Peninsula. Here you’ll see the Atlantic Ocean colliding with the Indian Ocean in the waters around False Bay. Enjoy great views of the contrasting landscapes, from craggy mountain peaks to white sandy beaches lapped by dazzling blue waves. As you pass over this gorgeous stretch of coastline, fly over Muizenberg Beach, keeping an eye out for the distinctive shadow of the great white sharks lurking off the shore!

Curving back around Table Mountain, watch the landscape change again as you glide above Cape Town’s leafy southern suburbs that stretch out toward the vineyards of Constantia Valley. Before touching down, take in Cape Town’s urban cityscape, weaving past downtown skyscrapers and modern high-rises. Landing back at the V&A Waterfront, your journey is complete!

Amazing views from the sky. My husband and son felt very special when I surprised them with this excursion. We had a wonderful pilot.

Thank you for providing us with such a well organised, professional experience which made a major contribution to fantastic memories and an amazing visit to South Africa. Special thanks to our pilot who was so knowledgeable about the area and the video of our flight which was great value and a real bonus, we wouldn't hesitate to take to the sky again on our next visit.

It was absolutely amazing!

My husband and I took the Two Oceans Tour as a gift to ourselves for our 27th wedding anniversary last week. I was such a wonderful experience. One of the best gifts I've ever received! Cape Town Helicopters is a first class business with new well maintained aircraft. Glad we used them and would again!

What an amazing experience. Really, really pleased we did it. We had a little bit of turbulence, but were extremely lucky with the weather overall. I would thoroughly recommend it for not only tourists, but South African's living there - it's a real eye opener to what a beautiful place the Cape is.

Best way to see Cape Town!

Review by:   angela.stockdale.nz,    June 2014
HUGE disappointment! This tour DOES NOT go over the Indian and Atlantic Oceans - it only goes over the Atlantic Ocean. When we confronted the customer service people about it they first said that was just the name of the tour and then changed the story to say in the summer time the when the current changes the Indian oceans comes up then they said that 4 years ago it was written on the map as the Indian Ocean... Anyhow bottom line is they were rude and liars. On the helicopter the pilot pointed out about 6 land marks and it is fair to say my 6 year old nephew could have made up more interesting chat than our pilot.

Beatiful panorama view with a charming lady-pilot!!_br/_ Taking the top front seat, side by side with the pilot and_br/_ taking care not to touch the control stick just in front of me,_br/_ I enjoyed the view under my foot, took many pictures and videos._br/_ But sorry our flight route of 2 oceans was shorter than my expectation_br/_ that we could fly just over the "Cape of Good hope" but actually not.

A great way to see the Penninsula when only in Cape Town for a couple of days.

Review by:   Linda Susan B,    January 2014
We did enjoy the tour, but then I always enjoy a helicopter flight. Was slightly disappointed that the pilot did not tell us about things as we flew over them. He only said he would answer any questions we had, which I found rather strange.

Very interesting tour, beautiful scenes. Absolutely loved it. The only issue was that I could not hear the pilot well because of the noise.

Timely, nice people. Loved the trip!

I cannot suggest you do this enough. We we fortunate that we did this early afternoon in late August and the weather was fantastic, very warm and little cloud. Going around Cape Town and along the side of Table Island was amazing with great views everywhere, we then circled around the other side of TM and came back to Cape Town after what seemed like 5 minutes but was probably nearer 30 minutes.

Review by:   Me,    April 2013
Great flight over the Cape peninsular. We had a ground tour down to the Cape of Good Hope the previous day which made the aerial view so much more interesting as we could see where we had been and could identify locations.

Review by:   Nick,    January 2013
What a spectacular way to see Cape Town and the coastline; the views where incredible. This is definitely a must-do experience for any visit to the city! The whole process was smooth, from arrival to the departure, the staff where helpful and friendly and explained everything to us. Highly recommended.

Wonderful! Seeing Capetown from above is great! Just be careful of the weather, we had to reschedule 2 times because of the winds during Spring.
