Helicopter
Experiences

A private helicopter flight to the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve — the most biodiverse region on earth — for an exclusive mountain picnic surrounded by ancient fynbos. Your dedicated guide leads a curated walk through the landscape before a gourmet picnic is served at a private site with panoramic views over the Atlantic.

Fly up the West Coast to the village of Paternoster for a private seafood experience on the beach. Fresh mussels and oysters are prepared on-site, paired with chilled white wine and served against the backdrop of the wild Atlantic. One of the most authentically South African experiences in this collection.

A scenic helicopter flight to Robben Island, followed by a private tour of the Island Village — including the Sobukhwe House, limestone quarry, and the maximum-security prison where Nelson Mandela was held. Guests are guided by a former political prisoner, providing unparalleled personal insight into the role each inmate played in shaping South Africa's history.

A full Peninsula scenic helicopter flight with a secret landing, followed by collection at Miller's Point by a preferred land tour operator. Guests choose from three curated adventure pathways: Active (hiking, SUP, surfing, cycling), Cultural (key sites and stories by car or foot), or Family (engaging for all ages).

The ideal afternoon experience — a 20-minute flight to Misty Cliffs within the Baskloof Nature Reserve, 60 minutes on the ground with Inverroche Gin and Tonic served with curated condiments and fresh fruit, followed by a 20-minute return flight along the Atlantic coastline. Light snacks included.

Fly along the coastline past Hermanus and Gansbaai, over Cape Agulhas, for unrivalled aerial views of Southern Right Whales, their calves, dolphins, and sharks. Land at Melkkamer Vlei Cottage for a champagne arrival, followed by a beach and rockpool safari hosted by a marine biologist.

Depart from the V&A Waterfront Heliport, taking in the beauty of the Cape Winelands before stopping at a recommended wine farm for a tasting, lunch, or mountain picnic. Then fly directly to your destination of choice — from Saldanha to Lekkerwater — arriving in time for a 2pm check-in.

A unique cycling adventure ideally suited to four cyclists. Fly from the V&A Waterfront to the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, where bikes and a mountain biking guide await. Descend some of the most beautiful single tracks in the Cape, before being whisked back up the mountain by helicopter for a second run.
