Select participants and date
The wind off the Atlantic takes hold before you do — a steady, cool hand that lifts the canopy and, in a few breathless steps, lifts you above Camps Bay. Below, white sand narrows into ribboned coastlines and the city pulls open like a map: Table Mountain's flat crown to the east, Lion's Head's conical ridge, and the bustling Waterfront clustered near the harbor. You feel the ocean daring you to look down, the cliffs pushing a hush into the air. That hush is the first honest moment of Cape Town from the sky.

Adventure Tips
Dress in breathable layers
Cape Town's microclimates change fast—wear a windproof outer layer for the flight and warmer mid-layers for viewpoint stops.
Secure loose gear on flight
Use zipped pockets or a chest strap; pilots can carry a small camera but phones can be lost in gusts.
Book morning flights
Mid-morning usually brings steadier winds and clearer visibility over the peninsula.
Hydrate between tastings
Alcohol and coastal sun dehydrate; pack a water bottle for the vineyard day to stay comfortable and safe.
