Head for Karbonkelberg Mountain and soar over Hout Bay towards the Cape Nature Reserve. Take photos of the Cape of Good Hope and watch as the terrain changes as you approach False Bay and look for great white sharks in the ocean.

Spectacular views over the Peninsula

Flying over the Cape peninsula was a once in a lifetime experience. We were lucky to have amazing weather and visibility. Werner was a great pilot and guide and showed us all the interesting spots on the way: penguins beach, seals colony, the bays. It was a fantastic experience that i recommend everyone!

Everything here is also very well organized, punctuality is taken care of ... It was sometimes uncomfortably windy, but we felt safe and secure with our pilot Meghan ... Again a very special greeting and thanks to Meghan!

Unforgettable experience super pilot.

Everything went perfectly. We used the shuttle service and were picked up super on time. Our pilot Werner Nieuwoudt was very professional, well informed and very funny. Thank you for this great experience.
