        Great views and so great to see it all from the sky!
        Beautiful day and amazing scenery. We had the 25 minute full cape tour and loved it. We had just arrived in Cape Town so this was excellent way to orient us with the landscape and sights around the cape area. Our pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable.

        Fabulous Afternoon
        An amazing afternoon flying the full Peninsula and then landing at Klein Constantia for wine tastings and lunch. Landed on the lawn there and was taken to the tasting rooms in the wineries open jeep. Very cool. Then the fun started tasting amazing wines, a nice tour and then a great lunch. The flight of the Peninsula was awesome, very clear and calm with an amazing outlook of the beach’s and mountains. After the winery stop we took off and landed at the International Airport which made our SA departure very easy and memorable. The helicopter and our pilot Ryan were fantastic. Ryan was very knowledgeable and funny. It was a great experience. Thanks Ryan and the whole team.

        Cape Town Must Do Tour
        An incredible experience in a beautiful and very well maintained helicopter. You can see everything, all around the peninsula which is a must do in Cape Town. The pilot (Megan) was amazing explaining everything. Even the facility is amazing.

        Port containers and endless water views instead of scenic ocean view
        Disappointment. Highly depends on where you seat. if you are on the 2 left-side back seats it won't be scenic as stated in the description . You will see just port containers and endless boring water. Especially if it's 6 seat helicopter. Passengers in the middle at the back cannot see the full view. All the best scenic views will be either from the front or right-side back seats. We asked the pilot to turn our side to the ocean. He did his best but it was just a couple of minutes, we didn't even manage to enjoy the view and make photos. We understand that it is a sharing flight and the company did tell about it but the company doesn't specify that it can be 6-seat helicopter and that the passengers in the middle at the back wont see scenic views as promised in description. This is not fair to pay same amount of money and see just 30% of the promised views compared to the other seats. This specific flight is waist of money. My recommendation: 1. Don't go for "Two Oceans Scenic Flight". Choose other route where both sides of helicopter will see same views 2. Try to avoid 6-seat helicopter. 4-seat option is better. A person in the middle can see more at both sides 3. If you can afford choose a private flight

      The booking process was easy and once we arrived on site we were put at ease by the head pilot who explained the route we would take and where/why it may get a little choppy during the flight. Turns out everything went smoothly and safely and our pilot Paul Jardim was super in every way. Highly recommend.

      A big shout out to all the team and especially Ryan, our pilot, who helped us get to see Robben Island after the ferry was cancelled. Very polite, professional team from start to finish and Ryan gave us some great information about the island and Cape Town too. Thanks all.
