The fleet
Five helicopters, from the intimate Robinson R44 to the twin-engine Dauphin. Spin them round, then read what makes each one special.
Airbus
Built with sightseeing in mind. A wide, flat-floor cabin and one of the largest windscreens of any light helicopter put the whole coastline in front of you, and the shrouded tail rotor keeps it remarkably quiet.
Best for Families and groups of up to six
Airbus
Nicknamed the Colibri, French for hummingbird. Light, nimble and among the quietest helicopters flying, with a bubble of glass around the cabin.
Best for Couples and small groups
Airbus
The go-to helicopter for demanding flying all over the world. In 2005 one of this family landed on the summit of Mount Everest; over the Cape it is smooth, strong and sure-footed.
Best for Groups who want a little extra power
Airbus
A sleek twin-engine helicopter with a four-blade rotor and retractable wheels. Fast and exceptionally smooth, it comes into its own on longer flights and premium experiences.
Best for Longer flights and special occasions
Robinson
One of the most popular light helicopters ever built. Compact and intimate, with big windows on every side and a real sense of flying.
Best for Two or three guests
The make and model is never guaranteed. It depends on your group size, the weight and balance of the aircraft and what is available on the day.
The limit is 140 kg per seat in the Airbus helicopters and 120 kg in the R44. Tell us when you book if anyone is over 120 kg so we can request the right aircraft.
Six scenic routes from the V&A Waterfront, from a 12-minute hop to the 50-minute grand tour.
