Cape Town and Robben Island - The booking process was easy and once we arrived on site we were put at ease by the head pilot who explained the route we would take and where/why it may get a little choppy during the flight. Turns out everything went smoothly and safely and our pilot Paul Jardim was super in every way. Highly recommend.

Great Experience - A big shout out to all the team and especially Ryan, our pilot, who helped us get to see Robben Island after the ferry was cancelled. Very polite, professional team from start to finish and Ryan gave us some great information about the island and Cape Town too. Thanks all.
