Activity description

Take your vacation in South Africa to the next level and discover the famous Robben Island from high above! This 20-minute helicopter tour from Cape Town promises a thrilling and unique experience with incredible views!

Your adventure begins at the meeting point, where you will be greeted by your experienced and certified pilot. After boarding the helicopter,  you'll fly straight to Robben Island where you will marvel at the beauty of its Nature Conservation Area, as well as landmarks that include the limestone quarry and the prison where the former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, was held captive for 18 years and remains a symbol of freedom and civil rights. This flight is not only scenic, it is also historic! You will also be treated to picture postcard views of Cape Town. 

For amazing photographs, it is recommended that passengers wear darker-coloured clothing, as lighter clothing can reflect inside the windows and spoil an otherwise incredible shot.
