SkyHelix Sentosa

Tried out SkyHelix at Sentosa and it was quite an experience. Would recommend going only when the weather is clear — if it rains, they won’t allow the ride to start. On a good day, the view is stunning and gives a whole new perspective of Sentosa and Singapore. Sitting with your legs dangling above while enjoying a cold drink was definitely memorable. The ride itself isn’t very long, and personally, I found it a bit pricey. But overall, it’s a unique experience worth trying at least once.

Thankyou ITB Asia and 5* especially for thila or tyra i forget she guide us very lovely and explain about sky helix. Good job best guide 👏👏👏

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5‑Star Ride at SkyHelix Sentosa – A Sky‑High Treat for Families! Our family had an absolutely magical time aboard SkyHelix Sentosa, a scenic open‑air gondola ride soaring up to 79 metres above sea level, offering uninterrupted 360° views of Sentosa, Keppel Bay and the Southern Islands . From the moment we stepped in, the thrill set in—not only do your feet dangle freely, but there’s a gentle spiral motion to the ascent and descent that lasts about 12 minutes, with roughly 10 minutes at the peak soaking up the views and breeze . The fresh sea air, cool wind in the hair, and the serene panorama made for incredible family selfies at sunset. Each ticket included a complimentary non‑alcoholic drink or souvenir, and our family happily chose drinks—mocktails crafted by the Dusk Bar team that were tasty, refreshing, and a fun perk to enjoy mid‑air . A snack bar onsite also offered pastries, juices, and light bites if you want something extra before your flight . Our ride host was warm, engaging, and even helped us take photos while pointing out landmarks—not to mention cracking a few jokes to keep the mood light and fun (). The entire experience felt effortless—from photo ops to boarding, we felt well‑looked after. A few important notes: • While the ride is family‑friendly, there’s a height minimum (1.05 m) and young children must be accompanied by an adult . • Lines can get long during peak times and line management could be smoother—online booking is a smart way to skip the queue . • On particularly windy days, avoid loose items like hats or selfie sticks—and remember to secure your camera wrist strap or phone . ⸻ 👍 Highlights: • Mesmerizing 360° views at 79 m elevation—city, sea, islands and jungle all in one sweeping glance. • Family‑friendly experience with safety, snacks, souvenirs, and hosts who make it truly engaging. • Evening rides lit up with LED lights add extra sparkle to Sentosa’s skyline post‑sunset  . 👎 Minor Quirks: • Occasional long waits if you haven’t pre-booked—line management could use improvement. • Seating arrangement faces inward so neck‑twisting is needed to catch the best views (some reviewers found this awkward) (). ⸻ Overall Rating: 5 stars This is a captivating little adventure perfect for families, friends or couples wanting a memorable aerial perspective of Sentosa. With its smooth ride, scenic views, helpful hosts, and fun beverage perk, SkyHelix is a delightful highlight on the island. We’ll definitely go again—especially at golden hour!

Very fun and easy ride! Very nice view to see the whole of Sentosa. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable guide THILA 😍 Highly recommend this activity 🤟🏼

Had the whole ride to myself. The view was nice. I also received good and clear introduction by my guide Thila 😊

We went up on the Helix at 2pm and found it pleasantly cool and windy up there, with a very short queue waiting time and fantastic views. The ride operator Ilham was very pleasant, he noticed that a fellow rider was not enjoying himself due to the height so he asked us if we were alright with heading back down to let the guest and his family off first, and then going back up to resume the rest of our ride. He then learnt that we were there for my birthday, and he informed the ground crew about it. Upon alighting, staff Cassandra approached me and wished me happy birthday and passed me some souvenirs as a gift. Truly unexpected but very much appreciated! Thank you to the staff for making my first Helix experience a memorable one! :)

SkyHelix Sentosa Review: A Decent Experience, But Not for Thrill-Seekers We visited SkyHelix Sentosa in the morning, hoping for something fun or unique, but left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The experience involves sitting in a parachute-like open-air gondola that slowly ascends into the sky and gently rotates to offer a 360° view of Sentosa. It lasts about 10-15 minutes. During that time, an instructor gives a short introduction and tries to entertain the group, which was nice, but there’s only so much you can do in that span, especially when the ride itself is very passive. This is not a ride or anything adventurous. There’s no adrenaline rush, no surprises, just a slow ascent, a calm view, and a slow descent. The view in the morning was okay, but not particularly spectacular. Maybe a sunset or night session would be better for photography or ambiance. That said, this attraction is suitable for people who aren’t into adventure or thrill rides and are just looking for a mild, scenic experience. It's peaceful and easy, making it ideal for families with young kids or older folks who want a simple, elevated view of the island. Overall, it’s a decent, short activity, but if you're someone looking for excitement, SkyHelix probably won't deliver that.

We hadn’t planned to go on the SkyHelix, but came across it at the end of our day on Sentosa — and it turned out to be the perfect way to finish our visit. The experience was calm, relaxing, and offered stunning views of the island and coastline. Our operator was an exceptional young and proud Singaporean who made the ride even more memorable. He pointed out local landmarks, shared stories about his national service, and gave us a wonderful glimpse into life in Singapore. A beautiful and peaceful experience — highly recommended.
