Helicopter Rides

Twelve minutes over the bay or a full loop of the Peninsula, lifting off from the pier at the Waterfront.

Scenic helicopter flights from the East Pier helipad at the V&A Waterfront. Routes run from a short hop over Table Bay to Peninsula and Winelands circuits, and flights are sold by route rather than by the clock.

The helipad sits on East Pier Road at the Waterfront, so the flight starts where you already are rather than at an airfield out of town.

Flights are sold as routes rather than as blocks of time, running from a short circuit over Table Bay and the city to longer loops down the Atlantic seaboard, around Cape Point, or inland over the Winelands.

Seats are sold with a minimum of two passengers, and per-seat weight limits apply and differ by aircraft, so weights are given when booking. Flying is weather permitting.
