Tour overview

Experience Cape Town from every angle with our unforgettable Bus & Helicopter Combo – the perfect blend of relaxed sightseeing and high‑adrenaline adventure. Start your day on board our iconic open‑top, hop‑on hop‑off bus and discover the very best of Cape Town at your own pace. With over 30 stops across 3 carefully designed routes, you’ll have the freedom to explore the city’s must‑see landmarks and hidden gems exactly how you want to. Hop off to stroll the V&A Waterfront, dip your toes in the sand at Camps Bay, explore the cultural heart of the city centre, or enjoy the views from Table Mountain (cableway ticket not included unless part of a combo). Along the way, multilingual commentary on board provides fascinating insights into Cape Town’s history, culture and attractions, while the open‑top deck offers unbeatable photo opportunities of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, Signal Hill and the sparkling Atlantic coastline. Then, elevate your experience – literally – with a scenic helicopter flight over Cape Town. After checking in at the helipad, you’ll take to the skies for a thrilling bird’s‑eye view of the city and the famous Atlantic Seaboard. Soar above and admire the dramatic landscape and take in postcard‑perfect views of Table Mountain and the city bowl from above. Your friendly, knowledgeable pilot will provide live commentary throughout, pointing out key sights and sharing local insights as you fly.
