    Amazing!!!!
    Wow! What an experience to see Cape Town from a Birds eye view. Definitely worth the money. Very professional service and high on safety standards. Best day experience by far.

    Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!!!
    What an amazing way to spend 12 minutes! The most spectacular views and the best hospitality. From the smiling office staff who were fab to the pre and post flight wines, this was truly a wonderful experience. We were supposed to do the flight the day before but the rain had set it. We were able to change the flight with the wonderful staff to the next day with no issues at all. Can’t wipe the smile off my face 😁

    Amazing flight over Cape Town and surroundings
    We did a flight with Nac helicopters on 28th of August. It was just spectacular and a must-do thing in Cape Town. You see the whole area from a different perspective, which is fantastic. What a beautiful city! Our flight was great and so was our pilot, everything was smooth and perfect. I would do it all again in a sec. Thanks NAC!

    Beautiful views and an experience for sure
    Beautiful views of the coast on this quick 15/20 minute ride. I wouldn’t say it’s a must do (personal opinion) I enjoyed the hot air balloon more but it’s definitely an experience and the views are amazing. For me even with the headphones on I had a terrible headache afterwards due to the noise but I wouldn’t rule out doing another in the future. The staff at NAC though were amazing and our pilot was polite and witty which was nice.

    Great day
    I was able to go on a Helicopter ride with NAC helicopters in March with a tour group, Zebra Adventures. The pilot made it so much fun and we had beautiful views of Cape Town and Table Mountain. It was a great experience.
