More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from the V&A Waterfront and the city shrinks: Table Mountain’s flat crown and the Twelve Apostles ridge fall away while the Atlantic thins into a silver ribbon. The helicopter banks over Clifton and Camps Bay, traces Hout Bay’s crescent, and edges toward Cape Point where wind-sculpted cliffs drop into pounding surf.

The Cape’s maritime crossroads shaped early colonial trade and the Winelands were developed by Dutch and French Huguenot settlers in the 17th and 18th centuries, planting vineyards that evolved into today’s estates.
Conservation
Table Mountain National Park and parts of the coastline are protected—flight paths are restricted over some areas and responsible visitation helps protect fragile coastal ecosystems.
