This World War chopper has been wonderfully restored and now offers helicopter trips that will leave your heart racing and a grin on your face for at least a few days. After gingerly taking off from the V&A Waterfront, the impressive Huey makes its way long the west coast of Cape Town in the direction of Melkbosstrand Beach, and then the fun begins.

At the last minute, the experienced pilot straightens out the chopper and flies at high speed, just a few metres off the water below. After you’re taken through a few other military training manoeuvres, the Huey makes its way back to ‘base’, where you’re given a certificate to certify your Huey adventure. Definitely a South African helicopter trip that is not to be missed!
