    Professional and friendly encounter.
    The NAC team were very accommodating, it was a windy day and they indulged me to wait out the weather for the helicopter tour experience. The whole experience was VIP from the hotel pick up, reception at the office, golf cart drive to the heliport and experience with the pilot. I recommend them a 100 times over! Being a solo traveler it was great to have the ground staff meet me on my return and offer to take my photos on my phone.

    NAC was such a professional company
    This was my first time in a helicopter and was not disappointed. My partner would not join me but this wasn’t a problem. They paired me up with to other ladies to fly at no extra cost. It was definitely value for money and they were so professional from the very start of being picked up from the hotel . I absolutely loved my time in Cape Town and this experience made it even more special.

    Loved it.
    Only a 15-minute trip but what a spectacular experience. The magnificence of the City and its environment can be really appreciated on a helicopter ride. Very reasonable price and excellent service from NAC. Loved it.

    Spectacular way to see the Mother City!
    Spectacular way to see the Mother City! Opted for the 2 Oceans trip for my wife’s birthday and wasn’t disappointed. Excellent views and commentary throughout the trip. An expensive treat but worth it!
