About this flight

What to expect

A bigger take on the 12 Apostles flight: on past Llandudno, a loop around Karbonkelberg and a sweep over Hout Bay to the BOS 400 wreck.

Atlantico starts where the 12 Apostles flight leaves off. You fly the full length of the Twelve Apostles, then turn inland at Llandudno beach and loop around Karbonkelberg, the wild mountain that separates Llandudno from Hout Bay.

Sweeping out over Hout Bay you pass the rusting BOS 400 shipwreck near Duiker Island before heading home along the coast. It is a flight of contrasts: busy beaches, empty mountains and open ocean. A one-hour harbour cruise is included.

Highlights

  • Table Mountain
  • Llandudno
  • The Sentinel
  • BOS 400 shipwreck
