Gin and Tonic on the mountain

Rates subject to increase on 1 September 2025

Fly to the most unique place in the Peninsula to enjoy a Gin and Tonic or similar. Cape Town Helicopters will fly you from the V and A Waterfront to Baskloof Nature reserve above Misty Cliffs. Here you will spend an hour enjoying a drink in the fynbos overlooking the crayfish factory. Your pilot will set out a custom-made gin bar for you to select various options of our partner Inverroche Gin. Perhaps add some fynbos to add some flavour and colour. You can sit on our deck or take a small walk to the viewing sites that overlook Platberg and Scarborough. Once the hour is up you depart back by helicopter to the V and A heli pad. We’re looking forward to welcoming you and we encourage you to bring along the following: sun hat, sunglasses, sunblock, closed-toed shoes, a fully charged phone for pictures, a light jersey and a sense of adventure.

Important Information


Check In Time

Please check in 30 minutes before your scheduled takeoff time. This allows us to complete weight checks, conduct the safety briefing, and issue your tickets. Once checked in, you can relax in our waiting area, capture some great pre-flight photos, and soak in the atmosphere before your adventure begins.

Photography Tip

For the best photos, we recommend wearing darker-colored clothing. Light colours, especially white, can reflect off the windows and affect your shots—so dress dark for that perfect picture! We do not have an on-site photographer.

Seating

For all sharing flights, seating is assigned based on weight and balance, which is determined during your safety briefing and ticketing. If you prefer to choose your own seats, you may book an Exclusive Flight by purchasing one additional seat—guaranteeing you the best seats in the house.

Weather

All flights are weather-dependent. If conditions are not suitable for flying, we will make every effort to reschedule your flight to the next best available time. For your comfort, please note that the temperature in the sky is the same as on the ground, so dress accordingly.
