NAC Helicopters is the only one of the three that publishes what is not included in the price, and the only one that names a safety standard — “Operated to internationally recognized IS-BAO safety standards”. On the two counts where the other operators are silent, this one answers.

Two things to watch. NAC prices per group rather than per person on GetYourGuide, so a headline figure can be for two people — this site shows the unit the seller uses and what it works out to per person. And no NAC product turned up in a Viator search across 500 Cape Town products, so GetYourGuide appears to be the only place to book them. That is a finding, not a proof.
