Frequently asked questions about the Scenic Helicopter Trips Cape Town

- May i make a video of our actual tour?

Our flights aren't captured on Video. Therefore we allow the passengers to bring their own camera's on the flight.

- What should we wear?

Dress comfortable, tempreture in helicopter is same as outside. If you plan to take photographs we recommend wearing darker colors to reduce any window reflections. Hats are not allowed to be worn around the helicopters as they can fly up into the rotors and damage the aircraft. We will be happy to hold any hats for you until you return from your tour. Huey: Bring a warm Jersey. Camera. Sunglasses. No loose shoes (flip flops). No caps/hats or scarves. Jetranger & Longranger: Camera. Sunglasses. No caps, hats or scarves.
 
- Do you recommend taking anti-motion sickness medication?

If you are particularly prone to motion sickness, taking a precautionary anti-motion sickness medication is a good idea. However, our flights are very smooth and turns are slow and gentle (except for the HUEY COMBAT MISSION). Some of our tours are professional scenic tours, and some are designed to thrill ride. Most people do not experience motion sickness and do not need an anti-motion sickness medication.

- When is the best time to fly?

We suggest that you book your helicopter flight prior to arrival in Cape Town, South Africa. This assures you of a tour time that fits into your vacation plans. It’s also wise to book your tour for the early part of your stay. That way if your pilot determines that weather conditions on a particular day are not optimal for a tour, you will have some options for re-scheduling. As far as the best time of day for a helicopter tour, you should primarily consider your personal schedule. Most of the time we are blessed with beautiful weather in Cape Town and the time of day, whether it be morning or afternoon, will make no difference. If we happen to have a rainy weather pattern the pilot will consult weather reports and other pilots who have been flying to determine if we can operate a good tour. The Huey Helicopter Co & Sport Helicopters does not want to take our guests on a flight unless we are reasonably certain we can give you an excellent experience.
