Since the inception of Base 4 Aviation we have focused on tourism and charter related work. Our aim was always to open an operation at the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town; The Tourist Centre for the Western Cape, receiving in excess of 2million visitors per year.

In July 2008, we were offered the opportunity to take over the operation of Peninsula Executive Helicopters. After an intense renovation of the premises, taking over the fleet of helicopters and re-appointing key personnel, we started operating in September 2008.

Our focus is to give more for less, a 5* experience without the huge price tag changing the standards of helicopter tourism. In addition to the normal Peninsula Flights ranging from 15-60 minutes, we have created 10 One Day Adventures that give our guests the opportunity to explore the Western Cape with a range of exciting and luxurious activities. Our packages include Hunting, Game Drives, Quad Bike Adventures, Shark Cage Diving, Fly Fishing and Wine Tasting in the different Wine Regions as well as a range of Harley-Davidson and Helicopter Combination trips.

We work closely with 5* Hotels & Resorts for Airport to Hotel and return transfers, combining them with scenic flights for added value.
